UGC will now be responsible for giving recognition to foreign degrees in India. This will be very helpful for international students who study from different countries and decide to come back to India to do jobs. An equivalence certificate will be offered by UGC to students who pursue a valid degree outside India. This certificate will help companies and recruiters draw a parity and the recruitment process will become much easier.
Presently All India Universities are the apex body which is responsible for granting the equivalent certificate. UGC has been granted the power very recently and many students are expecting some changes in the process.
