When I came to London to do my Masters, I had my BEng degree from Goa 
University with me as a pre-requisite qualification. We were the 1991 class, 
the second batch after the University was formed.
The first question I was asked was 'Does Goa University actually exist'? A few 
inquiries later, they had confirmed that it actually existed!
We had fought, years earlier, against the private college scheme being planned 
in Goa and got lathi charged myself on this, but then we had won.
All these universities, if they can be called so, will only dilute the standard 
of the Goa University and the reputation it now has worldwide, as private 
universities are mostly for those who can't get degrees by merit, so they use 
money instead as leverage to get the qualification job done.
But then, the end product is not the same...

This means that genuine institutions like Goa University will have its  
certifications suspect because you can be guaranteed that among the new ones 
there will definitely be fake degrees, unauthorised demands for money, poor 
standards and the like which is bound to tarnish the reputations of the ones 
with some minimum standards.

Even as Goa decides to have so many universities.....

New universities and higher-education institutions being planned or set up in 
Goa (beyond the existing Goa University, Indian Institute of Technology Goa, 
and National Institute of Technology Goa):

  1.  Parul University Goa – a new private university campus established in 
state.

  2.  WPU Goa – a proposed fully residential transdisciplinary university 
(awaiting government clearance).

  3.  Cluster universities – plans for university clusters in North and South 
Goa under NEP, transforming affiliated colleges into autonomous 
multidisciplinary universities.

  4.  Several other private university proposals have received in-principle 
government approval (land/permissions pending) such as expansions by 
institutions like Skill Development University groups, Sunaparanta University, 
and others noted in government replies on private universities (proposals from 
Parul, Skill Development University of Jaipur, Entrepreneurship Global 
Foundation, MIT Group/World Peace University), though final establishment is 
pending.

Official plans are evolving with policy changes under the National Education 
Policy 2020 and the Goa Public Universities Bill, so the exact list and 
timelines may expand as approvals progress.
