Haryana govt exposes 'fake technical colleges'

In a bid to check bogus technical colleges duping students by offering diplomas and degrees in various courses, the Haryana government has put the names of such educational institutions on a website and issued guidelines in this regard, an official said today.
A list of technical education institutions "not approved" by the All India Council of Technical Education (AICTE) is available on the AICTE website at www.Aicte-india.Org, under the link 'Statistics', sub-link 'Unapproved Institutions', the spokesman of the Department of Technical Education said.
Similarly, a list of "fake universities" is also available on the University Grants Commission (UGC) website at www.Ugc.Ac.In under the link 'For Students', sub-link 'Fake Universities'.

Lists of unapproved technical institutions and fake universities are regularly updated by AICTE and UGC on their websites, he said.
A list of approved technical education institutions in Haryana is available on the website of Technical Education Department, Haryana that is www.Techeduhry.Gov.In.
