DIMAPUR — As fake universities and colleges continue to pose a serious threat to students with many falling victims to such fraudulent institutions every year, the University Grants Commission (UGC) periodically releases list of such varsities operating in India, in an attempt to protect young minds from fraudsters.

The UGC recently issued a public notice, warning students and parents about fake institutions operating in contravention of the law while advising applicants to verify the authenticity of universities before seeking admission.

In its latest update, the regulatory body has listed 21 fake universities along with details including location. Such unauthorised institutions that usually operate by claiming affiliation with established institutions offer unrecognised degrees and other certifications that hold no validity for higher education or employment, thus wasting time and resources of students. For authentication of universities, students can check the official website of UGC.

Here is complete list of fake universities/ colleges in India as of February 2025 (UGC):
