Higher education degrees from Pakistan to not be recognised in India: UGC, AICTE
Premium- UGC, AICTE has cautioned Indian students that pursuing higher education in Pakistan will not be recognised
University Grants Commission (UGC) and All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) advised Indian students not to travel to Pakistan for pursuing higher education while stating that such degrees wouldn't be recognised in India, according to news agency ANI report.
The Secretary of UGC and Member Secretary, AICTE in joint advisory said that any Indian national, overseas citizen of India who intends to take admission in any degree college or educational institution of Pakistan shall not be eligible for seeking employment or higher studies in India on the basis of such educational qualifications (in any subject) acquired in Pakistan.
However, migrants and their children who have acquired higher education degrees in Pakistan and were awarded citizenship by India would be eligible for seeking employment in India after obtaining Security Clearance from the Ministry of Home Affairs, the UGC and AICTE informed students.
There are many such institutes that are not good and the experience that has come with China and Ukraine after studying abroad, children get stuck after half of their education, that's why it is necessary to warn the students and parents, the All India Council for Technical Education Chairperson Prof. Anil D Sahasrabudhe told ANI.
Additionally, the AICTE said that after completing half of their education while coming to India, when the students would not get the benefit of that degree, the parent's money goes waste. "So, the purpose is to caution the students," he said.
