As per the latest guidelines of UGC, MPhil degree will not be recognised in India anymore. UGC has also directed all the affiliated universities to stop enrolling students for the MPhil programme, as the degree is no longer valid in the country. UGC released a lot of new guidelines regarding the PhD program in 2022. It was during that time that UGC announced that an MPhil programme will become invalid in the country.
UGC has also released a caution notice for students, warning them against taking admission in MPhil courses that are being offered by many universities. UGC has said that students must refrain from taking admission in such courses offered by a university and not waste their time. The new changes regarding MPhil degree will not be applicable to students who have completed or enrolled in their MPhil before the release of the notification. Their degree will still be considered valid.
