Introduction: The Higher Education Crisis in India
India is facing a critical higher education crisis, particularly within private and deemed universities. These institutions have unfortunately become the breeding ground for unprecedented scams, with even UCG-approved degrees being sold to students without proper examinations. In this article, we will explore the scandalous practices being carried out by numerous private universities and the failure of regulatory bodies to address the issue.

Many reputable private and deemed universities, including OpjS University in Churu, Sunrise University in Alwar, Glocal University in Saharanpur, and Manav Bharti University in Solan, are under scrutiny. Despite the existence of these fraudulent practices, genuine students who have taken full-time courses are experiencing severe financial and academic hardships.

The students and authorities are calling for urgent and concrete action to address the issue. Those affected are anguished and helpless, as their only hope now hinges on the Education Department or the CBI taking action.
