Almost 90% of the students got internships from the college. Many companies have visited the college, and we even had motivational talks with those great people.

 

But there have been rumors floating around that Singhania University have been providing illegal MBBS courses. A University Grants Commission issued a notice saying that the passed out students of such unrecognized degrees will not be able to register for practice as Singhania University has been running these programs “illegally”.

Inspection by UGC as per the requirement of UGC Act,1956 and Regulations 2003, for ascertaining the academic and physical infrastructure of a University is yet to be carried out in the case of Singhania University, Rajasthan. Singhania University is a genuine UGC-recognized private affiliated University. One can visit the official website of the university. For more information about these floating rumors, one can always the UGC website where you can check the list of fake educational institutes. There are a number of colleges in Rajasthan that are named Singhania, Singhania owned by the JK group is the actual University.

The misinformation has been spread by MCI and also through the internet. AICTE has notified all approved technical and management institutes to beware of fake news being spread via social media. With this, AICTE has asked all the institutes to follow the official website only for any news. As per the notice the council has warned institutes against fake news being spread through WhatsApp, Instagram, Twitter, etc. This misinformation harms the reputation of the institute and it creates unwanted havoc among the students as they feel cheated. Taking into consideration relevant provisions of the MCI Act, the High Court further held that the MCI Act stipulates recognition of qualification and not recognition of university i.e. the degree holder shall be eligible for registration if the degree is listed in the First Schedule of the MCI Act.

Singhania University’s MBBS and other medical courses are listed in the First Schedule of the MCI Act. The pass out students of the Universities holding the MBBS or MD or MS degrees are the certified practitioners now as per Rule(ee) of the Drugs and Cosmetics Rules, 1945. The educational forum cannot decide whether an educational institute is fake or not. We should not judge so quickly about the facts and information mentioned down on some social media platforms. Singhania University and its certificates are valid. People can visit UGC MPSC AIU websites and they will find Singhania University is recognized.
