Previous UGC Approved List had around 5000+ Journals out of which 88% of the Journals were predatory. Predatory and Dubious journals mean that the journals had fake ISSN Numbers, Fake Editorial Board, No Address on the website, No Operating History, No Peer Review System etc. When this came to the knowledge of the UGC, it re-evaluated and removed around 88% of the journals bringing down the number from 5000+ to 800 journals in the new list including all subjects. These claims were made by UGC Vice-Chairman in an Interview published here.
