IPU Advisory: Verifying HEIs to Avoid Fake Universities

Importance of Verifying Educational Institutions

GGSIPU has issued a formal advisory to alert students and parents about the risks associated with fake universities. During the peak admission season, several unrecognised Higher Educational Institutions (HEIs) may attempt to solicit applications despite lacking the authority to award valid degrees.

Prospective students are urged to perform due diligence before committing to any course or paying admission fees. Following a structured ipu admission guide can help ensure you are dealing with legitimate entities.

How to Stay Safe from Fraudulent Admissions

To ensure your degree remains valid and recognized for future employment or higher studies, follow these steps:

• Check Regulatory Status: Verify if the institution is listed under the University Grants Commission (UGC) or relevant statutory bodies.
• Use Official Portals: Only use the official GGSIPU websites (ipu.ac.in and ipu.admissions.nic.in) for information regarding MBA admissions or B.Tech admissions.
• Verify Affiliation: If applying to an affiliated college, ensure it is officially listed in the IPU University's current academic session brochure.

Action for Students

If you encounter any suspicious institution claiming affiliation with GGSIPU that is not listed on the official website, report it to the university authorities immediately. For genuine counselling updates and seat allotments, always refer to the GGSIPU counselling for B-Tech admission and other official course pages.
