New Delhi:
The admission season is about to begin for different undergraduate and postgraduate courses! With the rush of getting a seat in the courses, applicants should not ignore checking the Universities. Candidates should have a cautious look on the Universities before applying for admission. Candidates should not take admission in all those Universities which are listed as 'fake' in the UGC circular.
