SaralnamaThe University Grants Commission (UGC) has declared 22 institutes fake. These institutes operated without recognition and falsely presented themselves as legal universities. Degrees from these institutes are invalid under the UGC Act 1956. The Institute of Management and Engineering in Delhi's Kotla Mubarakpur is one such case. UGC clarified it lacks central and state government recognition. In Telangana, a 10th-grade student committed suicide in her hostel dormitory at a Government Gurukul School in Vangara. The school administration reported she missed the morning assembly. Students can verify an institute's UGC recognition on the official UGC website before enrolling.
