Watch out: 32 fake universities
The UGC has declared these institutions fake: their degrees are not valid. We never list them. See the full UGC list of fake universities.
How we check a university
Before a programme appears on this site, it has to pass all four.
- UGC-DEB approval
- The university, and the exact programme, must be on the UGC-DEB list for online learning in the current academic year (2026-27).
- NAAC and NIRF as printed
- We show the NAAC grade and NIRF rank only as the university prints them, with the document and page.
- Fees in full
- The complete programme fee from the university's brochure, plus registration and exam fees. Paid to the university, never to us.
- Never a fake
- We check every name against the UGC list of fake universities before it appears on this site.
