The result was delete. Unconfirmable, signs point to a hoax, but at best not notable enough to draw the kind of coverage seen for other such entities. bd2412 T 21:51, 7 September 2017 (UTC)

This article is about a college for which I cannot verify the existence. The article was created by an editor who has previously placed false / hoax information in articles. This article appears to have been simply copied from RMRS PG College, including the references. According to the status section, this college is 12(b) and 2(f) but the reference link is dead. However, searching on the same site, I found a listing for all 12(b) and 2(f) colleges. It is this [http://www.ugc.ac.in/oldpdf/colleges/List%20of%20colleges%20as%20on%20%2030.04.2017.pdf pdf]. I cannot find this college in the list. The article also claims that the college is affiliated with Dr. Ram Manohar Lohia Avadh University. The university's web site has a [http://www.rmlau.ac.in/SearchByDistrict.aspx list of affiliated colleges]. Looking at the Ambedkar Nagar list, cannot find this college listed. Even if this college exists, I doubt that any of the information in the article is correct or true and WP:TNT would apply if evidence of this college were to actually be found.

Comment: There are similar "Status" sections in articles on multiple colleges, all claiming to have been assessed in April 2011 as Grade B (CGPA 2.17): two of these (:SLJB PG College, :Ramabai Government Women Post Graduate College) were established in the 1990s, so while the claim cannot be verified (dead link) it is at least credible, but this one and the other identified above were not established until a couple of years after the claimed assessment.

Delete: Per the research by {{u|Whpq}} above and my own observation about replicated text. The repurposing of text and references from pre-existing articles places the article credibility under severe doubt in which case, along with a lack of evidence from Indian media searches, the only safe outcome is erasure.
