The short answer

By Career Bhavan’s count of UGC’s lists, checked on 2 November 2026, Madhya Pradesh has 88 UGC-recognised universities: 2 central, 27 state, 54 state private and 5 deemed to be universities. 4 of them are on UGC-DEB’s 2026-27 lists for online or distance programmes. UGC’s fake-universities list names none in Madhya Pradesh.

1
Search the university above. If it isn’t listed and isn’t an institution set up by an Act of Parliament (IITs, NITs, AIIMS and the like), it cannot award a valid degree. Check UGC’s fake-universities list too.
2
Open the row: its UGC status shows whether it is a 2(f) university (with or without 12B) or a deemed university.
3
Studying online or by distance? Check the separate UGC-DEB approval for your exact programme as well.

Where this data comes from

Every university here comes from UGC’s own lists of central, state, state private and deemed to be universities on ugc.gov.in(opens in a new tab). Fake universities and the compliance notes (PhD regulations, ombudsperson, defaulter universities) come from UGC’s list of HEIs violating regulations(opens in a new tab). Names, addresses and websites are as UGC publishes them; online and distance approvals are matched from UGC-DEB’s lists. Checked 2 November 2026.

Who may award degrees is set by Section 22 of the UGC Act, as UGC explains in its public notice on fake universities(opens in a new tab). Institutions set up by an Act of Parliament are listed separately in the Ministry of Education list of Institutions of National Importance(opens in a new tab).
