Background: why this record matters

Private universities that award degrees are regularly asked to confirm how they verify qualifications. The RTI Act gives citizens a route to ask. How a university responds — with information, or with procedure — is itself part of the public record.

This record is Singhania University's reply to an RTI dated 07/01/2026. The reply does not reproduce the questions, so this page does not describe them.

What employers and students should know

A procedural reply is not a statement about the quality or validity of any Singhania University degree, and this page draws no such conclusion. It does mean that no official information came out of this application.

Anyone verifying a Singhania University qualification should approach the university directly and keep a written record of the request and any response.

ACTION STEPS FOR AFFECTED PEOPLE
  1. For your own RTI to Singhania University, check the RTI Rules and online procedure on the university website before filing.
