IQAfter CBSEโs Fake University advisory, one question keeps coming up:
โWhat about institutes like Mastersโ Union, MESA, ISBF, and Scaler?โ
Let me clarify โ calmly and clearly ๐
These institutes cannot award UGC-recognised Indian degrees themselves.
Important distinction:
โ Not fake
โ Not illegal
โ ๏ธ But not statutory degree-granting universities under UGC.
They offer skills, exposure, certifications, and international pathways.
๐ But remember: Certificates โ Degrees.
Hereโs how parents should think:
๐ UGC Degree Path โ For academics, government exams & higher studies
๐ Skill Path โ For entrepreneurs, family businesses & high risk-takers
๐ Hybrid Path (Safest) โ A UGC degree + strong parallel skill development
Before enrolling anywhere, ask just one question:
๐ โWho awards my degree โ and where is it recognised?โ
