CHANDIGARH, NOV 14
The Haryana Government has launched a drive to identify self styled and fake universities or institutions operating in the state. FIR will be lodged against these institutions under appropriate sections of the Indian Penal Code and UGC Act.
          While stating this here today, an official spokesman said that these self styled and fake universities and institutions were creating an impression amongst students that their degrees were recognised both for the purpose of admission in higher studies and for the employment in the central and the state governments, which amounts to cheating. This kind of fraud might ruin the career of young students and also bring the entire higher education system into disrepute.
          "According to UGC Act, only those universities which have been established under an act of parliament or state legislature or have been granted 'deemed to be a university' status under section 3 of the UGC Act, are entitled to call themselves "universities" and confer degrees. The degrees provided only by such institutions are recognised by educational institutions and central or state governments for purpose of admission and employment. Contravention of this provision of UGC Act attracts the penalties under the Act", he added.
