University Grants Commission (UGC) has released
the list of unrecognized and are termed as "self styled, unrecognized". This
step has been taken so that the students are not trapped in the fake promises
of these "unrecognized and fake" universities.
University Grants Commission (UGC) gives
recognition to a particular institution if the university successfully abides
the guidelines. UGC informed that these mentioned institutions have been
declared as 'Fake Universities' are not entitled to confer degrees to the
students. The degree of these 'fake university' will not be considered. As said
under the University Grants Commission Act, 1956, only a university established
by the Central/State/Provincial Act or an institution is deemed to be
university under Section 3 of the Act is allowed to call themselves as a university.
UGC released a list of 21 universities. "Therefore, students and public at
large are informed that such 21 self-styled and unrecognized institutions,
functioning under the contravention of the UGC Act are declared as fake, and
are not allowed to confer any degrees further," the UGC said in its
notice.Only the institution which come under Section 3 of the Act are allowed
to confer them as Universities.
"As per information available with the UGC, there
are 22 universities (in the country) which have been listed in the UGC list of
fake universities and are functioning in contravention or violation of the UGC
Act, 1956 in different parts of the country. Law and order is a state issue and
only states can take action as per federal structure. No state government has
so far said it is not taking action against such universities and has instead
shown inclination of taking action. We are also making attempts to have direct
interaction with students besides this 'KnowYourCollege' portal to help students
identify fake universities. We are also in the process of writing to MEA to
ensure that all missions are appealed to give us a list of fake universities or
institutions overseas so that we can appropriately inform our states to help
students not get duped by such institutions." Smriti Irani said in the meeting
regarding the issue.
