UGC has identified 22 universities which are self-styled and unrecognised and functioning against the provisions of the UGC Act, 1956. This time UGC has identified one more university from Rourkela, which is functioning without UGC recognition. In June, UGC had released list of 21 universities. Out of these 22 universities, maximum number of universities are in Uttar Pradesh with nine such universities and in Delhi with five universities.

As per Section 22(1) of the UGC Act, only a University established by an Act of Parliament or the State Legislature or an Institution deemed to be a University or an Institution especially empowered by an Act of the Parliament is entitled to award degrees.
