By actively involving students in this process, the UGC aims to create a vigilant community, emphasizing the importance of collective responsibility in preserving the integrity of academic institutions across the nation. What qualifies as a university? As per an official notice released earlier, the University Grants Commission clarified that degrees can be granted solely by Universities/Institutions established under State, Central, or Provincial Acts or institutions duly empowered to confer degrees in accordance with the UGC Act, 1956. Notice to fictitious universities Addressing the vice-chancellors of alleged 'fake universities,' the Commission issued a letter outlining their institution's inclusion in the list of sham universities. The reason behind this categorization is the institution's failure to meet the standards defined in Section 2(f) or Section 3 of the UGC Act, 1956. Despite lacking the legal status of a 'University,' the institution has been engaged in the dubious practice of awarding degrees and employing the term 'University' in its name, thereby duping innocent students. This fraudulent behaviour has become a pressing concern as an increasing number of students are falling prey to these deceptive tactics. Underscoring the issue of institutions operating in violation of the UGC Act, the Commission firmly stated that degrees issued by sham universities/institutions would have no legitimacy for further education or job prospects. The notice also demanded universities confirm within 15 days that they were not conferring any degrees, highlighting the urgency of addressing this matter.
