Many institutions use the word 'University', despite UGC prohibiting the same unless an institution fits into a defined set of criteria. The UGC defines a University to be the one established by a Central/State/Provincial Act or an ‘institution Deemed to be University’ under section 3 or an institution especially empowered by an Act of Parliament to confer UGC specified degrees under section 22(3) of the Act.
As per the official notice, 'Students and public at large are hereby informed that such 24 self-styled, unrecognised institutions functioning in contravention of the UGC Act have been declared as fake and not entitled to confer any degrees. The detailed list is at UGC website, ugc.ac.in."
