New DBA on Upgrad by ESGCI

[Kab]

It appears the school is recognized, but not for issuing these doctorates?

Maybe the BUSINESS is recognized.
Think that around the world the legal aspects are different from the ones in your own country.
You can have an education business but this is not the same as a University or an institution that can give university level degrees. Also think that each country(at least in Europe) have concrete names for the degrees and these are protected. Also the institution that can grant this types of degrees are in databases, and the degree themselves are also.

If they have the abilities to give a valid official degree they have a special recognition status which is protected by law. You can check it. This is different to an inscription as an educational business and completely different that only applying for it ( and still waiting to be or has been not granted).

A warning sign is that somebody is offering a piece of paper with a name that is not the official name of a recognized and protected degree.
Another big warning is that somebody says they do not follow the normal or official ways of the country.
