Bias related to DEEMED University in India!

Deemed university is a status of autonomy granted to high performing institutes and departments of various universities in India. It is granted by the University Grants Commission (UGC) of India. Karnataka has 15 deemed universities, the major DEEMED universities are IISc, IIITB, Christ, Jain, ...etc.

(For confirmation of these deemed universities -> go to official UGC website and check the list of deemed university in Karnataka).

There is some fake news flying around: "The PhD degree awarded from deemed university is not good enough to get a government job?".

Then the PhD awarded from a world class university like Indian Institute of Science (IISc) should also be considered useless for government jobs as well?

I wanted to clear the doubt's for students studying in deemed universities, not to worry about the fake news spreading by random people, who would not know the head or tail of actual PhD research. If you get a degree from Bangalore University (BU) it takes 7 years or more even if you do good work, and we have to go across lot of corruption before finishing the degree. Some of the professors treat you as slaves, and most people quit because of harassment! Students say the experience of doing PhD at BU is horrible which includes cast-ism. Also we have heard in the media that: writing the god's name on the top of the answer script was the code of information to get passed at BU.

Looking at these above BU reports one would like a peaceful place to do PhD. If anybody challenges the quality of the PhD work done at deemed or private universities (in 3 or 5 years); then you can ask them to check the Scopus index author profile of the research scholar, which is maintained by Elsevier publishers, to understand the quality of work published by the scholar related to his/her PhD list of publications. If the PhD work is published in a Scopus based journal, then the work is of high quality and UGC would have already recognized it, but it is not so easy to publish in Scopus . Keep in mind without hard work  nothing can be done, so smart and hard work could get you published in Scopus.

The major private universities in Karnataka are PES, REVA,...etc. are equally good too, but not deemed universities yet! also beware of some fake universities which are neither private nor Deemed, the details can be found on official UGC website.
