Private university degree verification
Private and deemed universities do not work like government universities. Most are outside the RTI Act, many have study centres in other states, and their records are not always easy to reach. That is exactly where experience counts.
Why private university degrees need extra care
- No RTI route. Most private universities are not public authorities, so an RTI application usually does not apply to them directly.
- Study centres and agents. Many students enrolled through a study centre or agent in another state and never dealt with the university itself.
- Territorial and mode rules. Regulators have set limits on where and how private universities may offer programmes. A degree that does not fit those rules can be questioned later, even if the university issued it.
- Employers check. Overseas employers, Gulf verification agencies and recognition bodies regularly verify private-university degrees with the university.
How FACTS verifies a private university degree
- Level 2 written verification sent to the university’s examination or registrar section
- An in-person visit when the university does not reply
- Where useful, an RTI application to the state body that regulates the university
- Cross-checking the enrolment, course, mode and year against what the university confirms
What you receive

Questions about private university degree verification
Can RTI be used for a private university?
Usually not directly, because most private universities are not public authorities under the RTI Act. We use written verification or an in-person visit, and sometimes an RTI to the state regulator.
I studied through a study centre. Can you still verify?
Yes. Tell us the study centre and the university. We verify with the university itself, which is what employers and agencies rely on.
The university has closed or is under action. What happens?
We still try the university and the regulator. If no confirmation is possible, the report shows Orange with the reason, which is better than not knowing.
Tell us the university and the purpose. We reply with the right route.
