UGC has released a list of 21 fake universities across the country, which include universities in Karnataka, Kerala, Maharashtra, West Bengal, Uttar Pradesh, Odisha, Puducherry, and Andhra Pradesh apart from Delhi.
The initiative is called the 'Establishment of Chairs in the University in the Name of Eminent Women Administrators/Artists/Scientists/Social Reformers'.
UGC states that institutes in PoK are neither established by the Government of India nor recognized by statutory authorities such as UGC, AICTE, MCI etc
The ordinance will restore the original formula to take entire institution as one unit for calculating quota, instead of individual departments as per court order
