Here is another instance of a caution notice (download HERE) issued by one of the education regulatory bodies in India, this time by UGC (University Grants Commission). The notice cautions students against taking admission in “Digital University of Skill Resurgence (A  Virtual Meta University)”, 54 Samarat Nagar, Near Hindi University, Ring Road, Wardha, Maharashtra - 442001. 

UGC has cautioned that this is a “self-styled” university, not empowered to award any degrees as per Section 22 of UGC Act 1956. It is also not enlisted under Section 2(f) or Section 3 in the list of Universities.

The UGC caution notice clearly advises “… NOT TO TAKE ADMISSION in the above mentioned self-styled institution, taking admission in such self-styled institution may jeopardise the career of the students.”

Section 22 of the UGC Act, 1956, stipulates that the right of conferring or granting degrees shall be exercised only by a university established or incorporated by or under a Central Act, a Provincial Act or a State Act or an institution deemed to be a University under Section 3 or an institution specially empowered by an Act of Parliament.

The above named setup does not fall in any of these categories.
