⚠️ MAJOR SCAM
Bhaiyon, OPJS University (Om Parkash Jogender Singh University), Churu, Rajasthan ka naam July 2024 mein desh ke sabse bade degree fraud mein aaya. Rajasthan Police ki SOG (Special Operations Group) ki jaanch mein pata chala ki 2013 se ab tak university ne 43,409 degrees baanti - jinme se badi sankhya aise courses ki thi jinki manyata hi nahi thi. Ye degrees 19 rajyon aur Nepal tak gayi - Bihar bhi inme shaamil hai.

Kaise Operate Karta Tha Scam?
OPJS Rajasthan ki ek private university thi -- legally sirf apne campus par, manyata-prapt courses hi chala sakti thi. Lekin SOG ki jaanch me nikla ki degrees backdate karke di gayin, bina admission ke certificate bane, aur aise courses ki degree bikin jinki manyata thi hi nahi. 2022 ke Rajasthan PTI exam me hi 1,300+ abhyarthi OPJS ki B.P.Ed degree lekar baithe the, jabki course ki manyata sirf 100 seat ki thi.
Fake Education Delivery
- No actual classes
- Exams me proxy ya pehle se papers de dete the
- Assignments copied/pre-made
- Professional dikhne wali degree courier se ghar delivery
Bihar me kitne students iski chapet me aaye, iska koi sarkari aankda ab tak jaari nahi hua hai - isliye hum koi number nahi likh rahe. Par degrees 19 rajyon tak gayi hain, aur Bihar ke B.Ed/PTI aspirants is tarah ke "ghar baithe degree" offer ka sabse bada target rahe hain.
Red Flags Jo Hamesha Dhyan Rakhein
- "Degree in 6 months" ya "No exam required"
- "100% passing guarantee"
- Study center through local agent
- Cash payment with no receipt
- No campus visit required
- Admission through WhatsApp
Impact - Degree Invalid Toh Kya Hoga?
Already Employed?
- Employer verification hone pe termination likely, fraud case bhi ho sakta hai
- Earned salary return karna pad sakta hai
Government Job Aspirant?
- Document Verification mein reject
- Agar already joined hai toh termination + recovery
- Future applications mein debarment possible
Kaise Check Karein Ki Degree Valid Hai?
- UGC Fake University List -- ugc.gov.in/universitydetails/Fakeuniversity pe list dekho. Dhyan rahe: OPJS is list me nahi hai, kyunki wo kanoon se bani university thi - uska mamla "fake university" ka nahi, fake degree ka hai. Isliye sirf list dekhna kaafi nahi
- NAD Portal -- nad.gov.in pe degree record search karo
- Digilocker -- digilocker.gov.in pe degree available hai ya nahi check karo
Agar NAD aur Digilocker dono jagah degree nahi milti, toh problem hai.
Agar Victim Hain Toh Kya Karein?
- Consumer Court mein fee refund ke liye complaint karo, Police FIR bhi karao
- Collective Petition -- multiple victims milke stronger case bana sakte hain
Kanoon Kya Kehta Hai?
Fake degree lena aur dena dono crime hai:
| Kanoon | Saza |
|---|---|
| UGC Act Section 22 | Jail + jurmana (fake degree issue karna) |
| IPC Section 420 (ab BNS 318(4)) | 7 saal jail (fraud/cheating) |
| IPC Section 467 (ab BNS 338) | 10 saal jail (document forgery) |
| IPC Section 471 (ab BNS 340(2)) | 7 saal jail (fake document use karna) |
1 July 2024 se naye case Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) me darj hote hain; purane case IPC me hi chalte hain.
Students pe bhi action ho sakta hai agar jaanke fake degree use ki government job ya admission mein. "Mujhe nahi pata tha" defense bahut kamzor hai agar payment receipt, WhatsApp chats evidence mein aaye.
Bihar Mein Kaise Bachein Fake University Se?
- Admission se pehle UGC list check karo - UGC ki fake university list zaroor dekho, aur course ki manyata alag se check karo
- NAAC grading dekho - A ya B grade university safe hai
- Physical campus visit karo - Agar campus nahi hai, toh university fake hai
- "Study Center" ka concept samjho - State university sirf apne state mein operate kar sakti hai. Rajasthan ki university ka Bihar mein center = ILLEGAL
- Rs 50,000 se kam mein degree? - Too good to be true. Quality education ki cost hai
- "Guarantee pass" promise? - Real universities fail bhi karti hain. Guarantee wali = fake
FAQs
Q: Meri OPJS degree hai, kya karun? A: Accept karo ki invalid hai. IGNOU ya other recognized university se new degree karo. Old degree kahi mat dikhao.
Q: Job le li OPJS degree se, kya hoga? A: Risk hai. Agar verification hua toh termination. Better hai quietly valid degree karo side by side.
Q: Fee refund milega? A: Consumer court try karo. Collective petition stronger hoti hai. Lekin study center wale mostly gayab hain.
Q: B.Ed fake hai toh teaching job kaise milegi? A: Valid B.Ed karna padega. IGNOU ya state university se karo. 2 saal aur lagenge.
Yaad Rakhein: "Asli degree time leti hai, fake degree career barbad karti hai." Shortcut lene se pehle sochiye -- 2 saal save karne ke chakkar mein career permanently damage ho sakta hai. Always verify university credentials on UGC website before admission!
