One year foreign masters degree set to be recognised in india

The Association of Indian Universities (AIU) is going to start giving equal importance and weightage to the one-year foreign master’s degree offered abroad. This means that the Post Graduate courses of two years will be equivalent to the One-year master’s degree program offered abroad, hence benefiting students graduated or currently pursuing such programs in the UK, Australia or Ireland. Further discussions are also being held by the University Grants Commission (UGC) on this issue. As of now, Indian students with one-year post graduate degree cannot appear for NET or UGC.

FOREIGN DEGREE EQUIVALENCE

According to sources, the AIU is working on the equivalence part and will go ahead once confirmation comes from all sectors. It is presently working on the duration conversion to credits and on the number of teaching hours in the European and Australian universities. 15 hours of class attendance is taken as one credit point in India.

“If the credits are equal to what we are providing, then we will be able to give recognition.”– Pankaj Mittal, AIU Secretary General

PREVIOUS UGC INITIATIVES PROVIDED

The Indian universities were ready to provide an eight-month bridge program between the Indian and foreign education for the students who were interested in returning to India.

JU’s Vice Chancellor Suranjan Das welcoming the initiative, presented the comments- “So far as the one-year British courses are concerned, I am really happy because they are very well designed and intense and students have to work really hard for that.”

“A course should be very well designed and very intense. And if it is that there is no reason why that should not be recognised.”

STUDENTS ABROAD- HOPEFUL

Students abroad are equally hopeful as they consider this initiative to be promising and can now appear in entrance exams and make a career in India.

INCREASING INEQUALITY

But there’s a negative side to this. Not everyone approves of this initiative as of now. Students and teachers both feel that giving recognition to the one-year programs might widen the already existing gap in the academic community.

“The inequality within our society is always there. In order to break that, the government has to come out with policies that break the class divisions in our society.” – Aishe Ghosh, President, JNU.

Client Testimonial

MBBS Abroad is a big decision and your success depends upon the honesty of your consultant. It is a long process starting from choosing the right college to reaching there at college door step and finally studying there for next 5-6 years. You are in a new country without many old friends. We were sure to approach a consultant who is based out of our district only so that not only during admission but for next 6 years, we can have smooth interactions. So, we approached GKWorks as they have a branch in Saharanpur. As we anticipated, there are lot of things to be done during admission process that goes for 3-4 months. At every step, it was useful for us to have our consultant who was only 20 minutes’ drive from our home. We were able to discuss everything face to face any day and thus were able to have easy process.

Best thing about Vivek Gupta Sir is his selfless counselling. As I am already a BSC/ MSC, he suggested me to go to Philippines as I was able to get straight admission into MD and this finishes my entire course in 4 years flat. In any other country, it would have taken by 5.5-6 years. Ms Kanimojhi in Chennai office of GKWorks was equally supportive in coordination regarding documents, departure and all other formalities.

We live 100 Km’s away from Varanasi. The internet connection in our town is very weak and my parents are not that educated. For us, understanding the word RTGS was also very difficult. Thanks to Amit Pandey Sir, who is Gkworks Varanasi incharge, he helped us to do all small things. Going with us to get forex to helping us doing RTGS for fee payment, he was always there with us. He only helped us to apply for passport online and went with us to passport office Varanasi. Such support at ground level was provided by GKworks team both in Varanasi and Delhi.

My parents were not very comfortable to send me abroad especially my mother as I am the only son of my parents. I really wanted to become a doctor and thus approached Hemant Mishra Sir, director of Bareilly branch of GKWorks. He went out of his way to convince my mother. He would have come 5 times to my home, invited us to his office and home 10 times before my mother was finally convinced. It is only due to Hemant Sir in Bareilly that I am pursuing my course today. I wish GKworks and especially Bareilly branch all the very best to help many more students for their life dreams.
