The so-called "diploma workshop", also known as a fake university, refers to a school that enrolls students privately without the approval of the Ministry of Education and local education departments. The most common "diploma workshop" is to pretend to be a branch school of a university or a branch school somewhere. They mainly rely on fake networks, fake the official website homepage of a real university, and various publicity means such as telephone calls, emails, text messages and leaflets to deceive candidates and parents. They don't consider students' study and exam results at all, and enroll students all over the country for profit. Therefore, they will use all means to send admission notices to candidates in a fake way, so that students can register on their websites and pay tuition fees. Once students register and pay fees, they are likely to disappear and then contact without a trace.
In recent years, the Ministry of Education has published six fake university lists, which can be searched online to help the majority of candidates and parents quickly identify and avoid being victimized. You can also identify it in the following three ways: first, look at the domain name of the website. The suffix of the domain name of official website in regular colleges and universities is generally "edu.cn". Second, the newsletter and announcements of fake university websites are generally not updated all the year round. The third is the list of colleges and universities announced by the Ministry of Education and the list of newly approved schools.
The list of fake universities announced by the Ministry of Education this year is as follows:
The majority of candidates and parents can refer to the above table to exclude the above fake universities when filling in their volunteers. In addition to identifying "diploma workshops", we should also guard against "internal indicators" and forge fraudulent means such as "independent enrollment" to recruit students for the college entrance examination in case of being deceived.
