List of 23 fake universities in India

The University Grants Commission has said that there are 23 fake universities in the country, out of which seven are in the national capital.

Minister of state for human resource development Mahendra Nath Pandey told the Rajya Sabha recently that the ministry had written to state governments to investigate the matter and register police complaints against fake universities.

States have also been asked to initiate proceedings against those involved in defrauding and cheating students “by misrepresenting themselves as ‘universities’ awarding degrees with their name”, Pandey told the Rajya Sabha.

Menace of fake institutes is widespread and is getting increasingly lucrative, as more students look for higher education to improve their job prospects.
