The University Grants Commission (UGC) issues a stern warning against fake online degree programs, cautioning students about misleading abbreviations that mimic recognized qualifications. Highlighting the "10-Day MBA" program as an example, the UGC stresses the importance of verifying program legitimacy and recommends checking the UGC website for recognized universities and approved online programs. Secretary Manish Joshi urges students to take precautions to avoid wasted time and money while pursuing genuine qualifications.
