What is the UGC Act, 1956?
The UGC Act, 1956 is a law that created the University Grants Commission. This important law gives the UGC the power to:

- Provide funds (money) to eligible universities.
- Make sure universities follow rules and regulations.
- Decide which universities are officially recognized and which are not.
Why is This Warning Important?
It is very important for students to know about this. If you study at a fake university, your degree will not be valid. This means it will not be accepted for jobs, higher education, or any other official purpose.
The UGC regularly updates its list of fake universities to protect students from fraud. Students should always check this official list before enrolling in any course.
Important Advice for Students:

- Be careful of institutions that promise easy degrees or very fast courses.
- An invalid degree will not help you achieve your career goals.
