IQAfter CBSE’s Fake University advisory, one question keeps coming up:
“What about institutes like Masters’ Union, MESA, ISBF, and Scaler?”
Let me clarify — calmly and clearly 👇
These institutes cannot award UGC-recognised Indian degrees themselves.
Important distinction:
❌ Not fake
❌ Not illegal
⚠️ But not statutory degree-granting universities under UGC.
They offer skills, exposure, certifications, and international pathways.
👉 But remember: Certificates ≠ Degrees.
Here’s how parents should think:
🎓 UGC Degree Path – For academics, government exams & higher studies
🚀 Skill Path – For entrepreneurs, family businesses & high risk-takers
🔗 Hybrid Path (Safest) – A UGC degree + strong parallel skill development
Before enrolling anywhere, ask just one question:
👉 “Who awards my degree — and where is it recognised?”
