The UGC released draft guidelines for recognition of degrees from foreign institutions and left out degrees obtained under online or distance education mode.

About Draft Guidelines for recognition of degrees from foreign institutions:

  • Recognition of Degree: A degree from a foreign higher educational institution will be recognised and granted equivalence only if a student physically attends an institute recognised by the home country. 
  • Eligibility: Entry-level requirements for admission to the programme must also be similar that of a corresponding programme in India.
  • Creation of Online Portal: A dedicated online portal to receive applications for granting equivalence to qualifications received from foreign institutions will be created for a smooth movement of students to the Indian setup.
  •  Franchise Agreement: Programmes completed under a franchise arrangement will not be eligible for recognition.
    • Those in offshore campuses will only be recognised if they satisfy the accreditation requirements in their country of location and respective home countries.
  • Affiliations from Foreign Boards: Any education from schools affiliated to foreign boards and offering a foreign system of education abroad will be recognised and granted equivalence only if the education has been pursued in a regular mode.
University Grants Commission
