Uttar Pradesh
Universities in Uttar Pradesh, the full official list.
All 74 universities the UGC recognises in Uttar Pradesh: 30 state universities, 30 private universities, 5 central universities, 7 deemed to be universities. Every entry carries its UGC number and the year it was recognised, and we have added nothing of our own.
What this page is. The University Grants Commission's own list of universities in Uttar Pradesh, dated 25.01.2023, plus the NIRF 2025 ranks where an institution took part.
Every ranked institution here links to its own official data. The "official data" link opens the file that institution itself filed with NIRF, hosted on the government's server. It carries the sanctioned seats for each programme across six years, the actual student strength, and the number of faculty. We do not copy any of it, so when NIRF publishes the next cycle the link shows the new figures without us touching anything.
What it is not. Being on this list means recognised. It says nothing about teaching, placement, or whether the fee is fair. And a college affiliated to one of these universities will not appear under its own name, which is normal.

Scholarships in Uttar Pradesh
A student in Uttar Pradesh can normally apply on two tracks at once: the central schemes on the National Scholarship Portal, and the state's own. Both are free, and no agent should ever be paid to fill either.
Uttar Pradesh
Scholarship and Fee Reimbursement portal
The state's own scholarship route. Deadlines are set by the state and are usually earlier than families expect.
Open it ↗Government of India
National Scholarship Portal
One application for most central schemes. A hard deadline, no late window, and no appeal.
Ask your college for its NSP institute code before you pay the admission fee. Without an active code it cannot verify your application.

Most families do not arrive with a college name. They arrive with a course, a city and a budget. Start there and we will do the finding, free.
Questions people actually ask
What a family in Uttar Pradesh wants to know.
How many universities are there in Uttar Pradesh?
The University Grants Commission's consolidated list of universities, as published on 25.01.2023, carries 74 universities in Uttar Pradesh: 30 state universities, 30 private universities, 5 central universities, 7 deemed to be universities. This page lists every one of them with its UGC entry number and the year it was recognised. CollegeJaancho adds nothing of its own to that list.
Which institutions in Uttar Pradesh are ranked by NIRF 2025?
NIRF 2025 ranks 33 institutions from Uttar Pradesh, across 71 table entries, because an institution ranked in more than one field appears in more than one table. Those tables cover colleges and standalone institutions as well as universities, so this count is not a subset of the 74 universities on the UGC list. Among them: Banaras Hindu University (University, rank 6); Aligarh Muslim University (University, rank 10); Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur (Overall, rank 5); Banaras Hindu University (Overall, rank 10). NIRF ranks only the institutions that submitted data for a field, so a college missing from a table has usually not filed, which is not a verdict on it. Every rank on this page links to the institution's own filing with the Ministry of Education.
How do I check whether a college in Uttar Pradesh is genuine?
Two UGC documents settle it, and both are linked from this page. The first is the consolidated list of universities, where a recognised institution carries an entry number. The second is the UGC's state-wise list of fake universities, which names institutions that have no authority to award a degree at all. A college that awards a degree must be on the first list and absent from the second. For an affiliated college rather than a university, check that its parent university is on the first list, because the degree comes from the parent.
Which scholarship portal do students in Uttar Pradesh use?
Scholarship and Fee Reimbursement portal applies for state schemes, and central schemes run through the National Scholarship Portal at scholarships.gov.in. Both are linked on this page. CollegeJaancho does not print scheme amounts or income limits anywhere on this site, because they are revised every session and a stale figure misleads a family. The scheme's own page always carries the current condition.
What does CollegeJaancho charge for a check?
Nothing. The check is free for a student and a family. Send a college name on WhatsApp and the check comes back based on public record.

Recognition is one of eight checks. Send us two or three names and we will check the fake-university list, NAAC validity, the NIRF rank, what the fee actually adds up to, and what the scholarship really requires. Free.
