In a public notice of fake Universities issued on Thursday, higher education regulator, the University Grants Commission has warned students against taking admission in the “self-styled” Bible Open University of India, operating in Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh. The institution is offering degree programs and courses in “gross violation” of the UGC Act 1956. The UGC Act stipulates that only universities established through central, provincial, or state laws and standalone institutions designated as deemed-to-be universities will be allowed to confer degrees upon students. The Bible Open University of India does not meet any of these requirements and, therefore, is not authorised to offer degree programmes.
“Therefore, the general public, students, parents, and other stakeholders are cautioned through this public notice not to take admission in the above mentioned self-styled institution, taking admission in a suchself-styled institution may jeopardize the career of the students,” the UGC public notice says.
