It is absolutely essential that government takes this matter seriously. The news papers and television channels giving advertisements to such institutions should be stopped. They misguide people. List of these institutions should be announced without any delay.

Fake Universities

It is very sad that students and parents are taken for a ride in India. There are so many fly by night operations in Higher Education in India. This problem is more serious than Corruption. HRD Ministry /UGC/AICTE/MCI must come down heavily on such fake Institutions, instead of issuing paper advertisements! One consolation. In USA there are more than 700 Fake Universities. We are a little better than USA!! I am a Former Vice Chancellor of a genuine University
