Questions people ask

How many universities are there in India?

The UGC website lists 1357 as on 11 November 2026: 57 central, 523 state, 560 state private and 164 deemed to be universities, and 53 national institutes.

How do I know a university is genuine?

Search for it here or on ugc.gov.in. A genuine university is on the UGC list and is not on the UGC list of fake universities.

Can I find colleges here?

This site lists universities, because the official list of every college is not published as open data. Our guide explains how to check any college through its university and on the government's AISHE directory.

Does this site rank or recommend colleges?

No. It only helps you check recognition. It takes no money from any institution.
