Verdict: as per the ugc, there are a total of 1078 universities in the country. further, according to the all-india survey on higher education 2020-21, there are totally 1,113 universities/ university like institutions in the country registered under aishe. the viral data is mostly collected from webometrics ranking of world universities in its june 2021 edition. the methodology of this analysis by webometrics is questionable, as it involves the online presence of a university and its content. hence the claim made in the post is false.
