The short answer

By Career Bhavan’s count of UGC’s lists, checked on 2 November 2026, Uttarakhand has 47 UGC-recognised universities: 1 central, 12 state, 31 state private and 3 deemed to be universities. 6 of them are on UGC-DEB’s 2026-27 lists for online or distance programmes. UGC’s fake-universities list names none in Uttarakhand.

  1. 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. 2

    Open the row: its UGC status shows whether it is a 2(f) university (with or without 12B) or a deemed university.

  3. 3

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).
