Often it is seen that students who can not secure admission in a reputed and unsuspicious institution, get attracted to an easier study program offered by an institution that may be either fake or degrees and certificates awarded by them are not recognized by appropriate authorities and governments. There may be that a certificate of such institution is recognized by government for limited purposes. Some times such institutions issue the degrees and certificates making a representation that it is equivalent to popular degrees and certificates. The student get frustrated when he applies for a job and is rejected on the ground that his certificates are not recognized. It is difficult to inquire about such institutions in all respect before seeking admission. However, in this regard following points amongst other can be kept into mind:

(a)    An institution may not be fake but some of  it’s degrees or certificates may be useless as not having recognition from Education Board/UGC/NCTE/ State Government or other appropriate authority.

(b)   There may be that a certificate of an institution is recognized by a Government for some limited purposes but not equivalent to other well known degrees and certificates for all purposes.

(c)    A certificate of an institution may be recognized in one State but not in others

(d)   A certificate of an institution will not be considered for teaching jobs if it is not recognized by NCTE or other appropriate authority.

(e)    An educational institution must be affiliated with an University or Education Board as the case may be, and the degree/certificate and subjects must be approved and recognized by that University or Board

           

 In Uttar Pradesh, I have came across several cases where candidates having certificates and degrees of Hindi Sahitya Sammelan have been declared ineligible, as those certificates and degrees are not recognized by appropriate authority. Majority of  cases are relating to Shiksha Visharad degree, which is claimed as equivalent to B.Ed but is not accepted by the Government of UP because it has no recognition from  NCTE. Many other degrees and certificates conferred by this institution are also almost useless for job purposes. 

In this regard, I have made an analytical research on the basis of case law on disputes relating to many degrees/certificates conferred by Hindi Sahitya Sammelan. It is notable that this institution is very old and popular one, but when there arises a question regarding it’s educational activities, it always creates a confusion as to whether this institution is merely a registered society for research and propagation of Hindi language or  is it an institution authorized to impart education and confer degrees like other educational educations?
