At Education Fraud Check, our mission is to safeguard the integrity of higher education and professional credentials in India. Today, we bring to light a deeply concerning revelation that strikes at the very heart of India’s legal system — over 100 advocates enrolled with the Bar Council of Delhi (BCD) have been found to hold fake, forged, or unverified LL.B. degrees.
This alarming list, verified through university records, reveals degrees that:
Were never issued by the stated universities
Belong to individuals whose names or roll numbers don’t appear in university records
Show mismatched marks or incomplete results
Were obtained from blacklisted or unrecognized institutions

Why This Matters:
Legal professionals hold a sacred duty to uphold the law, and misrepresentation of qualifications undermines the trust in our justice system. These findings reveal:
Gaps in background verification during enrollment processes
The prevalence of degree mills and fake universities issuing unlawful certifications
The urgent need for centralized, real-time verification mechanisms at Bar Councils and courts
What Actions Are Being Taken?
Based on these findings:
Complaints have been filed with relevant Bar Councils for debarment.
FIRs and cybercrime reports are being prepared against repeat offenders.
Submissions are being made to the University Grants Commission (UGC) and the Bar Council of India for blacklisting institutions.
Public awareness campaigns are being launched to educate law aspirants on identifying genuine LL.B. programs.
Education Fraud Check Calls for:
Mandatory university verification for all legal professionals during enrollment
Strict penalties for those found practicing with fake credentials
Transparency from universities and public access to alumni verification
Collaboration with international authorities to flag fraudulent lawyers working abroad
Full List of 100+ Advocates with Suspect LL.B. Degrees
This list is not just about exposing wrongdoers—it’s about restoring public faith in legal education. The courts are meant to be a sanctuary of justice, not a place where fake degrees flourish. We urge the authorities to act swiftly and the public to remain vigilant.
