India is one country where education is
given the top priority and ironically an individual gets a respect in
society basing on his/her qualification than character. Anyways, this
education has become the platform for few crooked individuals to convert
it as a business opportunity and they are making lakhs of rupees.
However, this also comes with a fraud element which is resulting in many
students losing precious time, money and faith in the system.
Apparently, there has been a significant rise in the number of fake universities and bogus institutes. There are instances wherein university offices are set up in two bedroom apartment and the fact remains that there is no university except that flat. There are many scamsters who are coming up with advertisements in newspapers and internet promising easy degree, one sitting clearance and affiliation with many reputed international educational institutions.
But before any student thinks of approaching such institutes, you should remember to check the credentials. It is very important that the institutions have recognition from AICTE or UGC or any official government body. While approaching for admission, students can demand for the registration number of such institutes and verify them with the concerned authorities. Proper check regarding the availability of campus and the affiliation with universities also needs to be verified.
Though the government has assured of coming up with some serious measures to put a check on such institutions, it is the responsibility of students and their elders at home to have a check list before enrolling for admissions. Most of the times, problems arise while applying for distance education courses so it is advisable to go for tried and tested names instead of falling into the trap of gaining easy degrees. The official websites of the government will give further clarity on this.
