Hello there,

This is a very important aspect for every student to check and verify the institute and universities.

While it may seem very difficult and confusing to identify the legitimate university and college, it is not that difficult.

First of all, check the name of the college or university in which you want to apply on the official website of UGC (University Grants Commission) . If its in the list of colleges, the college is not fake.

Additionally, you can check the placement records, year of establishment of college, college cutoff for identifying the best college which suits you.

There may be similar named colleges, but if you do a little background check, you'll know whether it is legitimate or fake and also if its good for you to take admission.

Hope that your query is solved,
