FAQ
Questions students ask
How many fake universities are there in India?
UGC’s list names 32 as of February 2026. Delhi has the most (12).
How do I know if a university is fake?
Check two lists: UGC’s list of recognised universities (a genuine university is on it, unless it is an institution set up by an Act of Parliament, such as an IIT) and UGC’s fake-universities list (a fake one may be). Our list of all 1,301 recognised universities lets you search the first in one step.
Is a degree from a fake university valid?
No. UGC says these institutions are not entitled to confer any degree, so their certificates are not valid degrees for employment or higher education.
