List of 21 Fake Universities in India 2025: The University Grants Commission (UGC) has once again released a list of 21 fake universities operating in India. These institutions operating in various states and union territories are awarding degrees without permission. Before enrolling, we advise students to verify the validity of the university by visiting the UGC website.
Institutions that claim to award valid degrees without recognition are known as fake universities. These institutions deceive students by providing them with certificates that have no academic or professional value. Such institutions often operate under misleading names, causing confusion among students.

Out of 21 fake institutions, 8 are in Delhi. Eight of the 21 phony educational establishments that the UGC has identified are active in Delhi. All India Institute of Public and Physical Health Sciences; State Government University; Commercial University Limited Daryaganj; ADR Centric Juridical University; Indian Institute of Sciences and Engineering; Vishwakarma Open University for self-employment; and Spiritual University.
