The government has announced that 12 fake universities operating in the country have been shut down since 2014. According to officials, these institutions were found to be functioning without the required approvals and were misleading students by offering unrecognized degrees.
The Ministry of Education stated that action was taken after thorough verification and monitoring, and strict measures continue to be in place to identify and curb such fraudulent institutions. Authorities have also advised students and parents to verify the accreditation status of any university before seeking admission.
The government reiterated its commitment to ensuring quality and transparency in higher education and warned that further action will be taken against any institution found violating established norms.
