Results of GATE, CAT, MAT and XAT exams are out. In another month or so all the Post – Graduate Engineering or PG degree colleges (MBA or PGDM) invites applications for the admissions. At the same time many institutes in India are not recognized by All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) or University Grants Commission (UGC) but claim that they have recognition. It will be very difficult to tell which institutes are having recognition and which are not having recognition. In view to help people to identify Fake institutions this blog is written.

If the university is recognized by the UGC then the name of the university will be listed in the list of recognized universities on the UGC website and it will be updated frequently. There are three kinds of Universities are permitted in India by the Central Government namely Central Universities, State Universities and Deemed Universities. Central Universities will be directly established by UGC by the act of Central Government, State Universities will be established under State Laws of respective State Government and will be running under the guidelines of UGC and Deemed Universities will be established by taking permission from the UGC and will be having there own curriculum and the degree will be awarded by the Deemed University itself.

Even the name of colleges affiliated to the universities is also provided in the UGC, refer to all sites before you take a seat in any professional college. There are many fake institutions as many as good institutions. Some of the institutions are started by the Central Government in order to promote science and technology namely International Institute of Information Technology and International Institute of Information Technology Design and Manufacturing etc., which are situated at Hyderabad, Bangalore, Bhubaneswar, Jabalpur, Kanchipuram are examples of it.

Respective links are given, one can go through these links before taking admissions. Recently AICTE has also given the list of recognized Engineering colleges and the courses which are running in it. Search about college or take advice from the seniors before taking up of admissions in any institute whether it is recognized or not. Education is the right of everyone but having it in proper place also matters.
