Hi, no the degree that you will achieve from a university that is not UGC recognized will not be valid. You can check about your university on UGC's official website. There are about 23 universities in 9 states listed as fake universities on the website. If you happen to not get an admission in a recognized college you can do your degree course from open schooling to be safe. You can check for AICTE approval on their official website. If the university is not recognized by the government or UGC or AICTE than it is nit valid. Please look closely on your college's official website for all these recognitions. There are many colleges who do not approve of degrees that are done from an unrecognized colleges. If you still have doubts feel free to comment. Hope this helps.
