India UGC updates

Author: transcriptresearch

The UGC has been busy this year! They’ve actually added some universities back to their website, though it’s not necessarily easy to find.

Here’s a current list of “Deemd to be University” institutions as of last month: http://www.ugc.ac.in/inside/deemeduniv.html

They also updated the list of “Fake Universities” recently: http://www.ugc.ac.in/inside/fakealerts.html

The “Autonomous Colleges” list is another that was updated in January 2009: http://www.ugc.ac.in/inside/auto_college.html

Go, UGC!
