Weeks ahead of admission season of
the 2014-15, the University Grants Commission (UGC) has identified and posted
on its official website, a list of 21 self-styled, unrecognized institutions in
nine states, which are functioning against the provisions of the UGC Act, 1956.
Uttar Pradesh tops the list with 10
fake varsities while Maharashtra has just one Raja Arabic University, which is
based in Nagpur. All these institutions have been declared as bogus and do not
have any right to confer or grant degrees. UGC officials said, "Many
students are enrolled in these varsities as they are unaware that its a phony.
This facilitates the quacks to continue to run their business."
Interestingly, majority of these
varsities have figured in the UGC fake varsity list many a times in the past
few years. However, neither UGC nor any government authority has taken any
action to close them down and thus vulnerable students continue to lose their
money and time. "We have no power to take any action on these centres. The
police can take action only if someone lodges a complaint with them," said
a UGC official. Incidentally, the name of these varsities are often so grand
and are so similar to the state-run vasrities, for example, the Indian
Institute of Science and Engineering, New Delhi – is one such university that
no one will even doubts it to be fake, said a professor of Mumbai University.
According to Section 22(1), of the
UGC Act, only universities that are established by an Act of Parliament or the
State Legislature or an institution deemed to be a university or an institution
especially empowered by an Act of the Parliament can award degrees. The degrees
that are to be awarded by such universities, should also be listed by the UGC
under Section 22(3) of the UGC Act, 1956. Furthermore, the word 'University'
can't be used by any institution other than a university established by or
under a Central or a State Act or a Provincial Act.
