UGC and AICTE directs students to not pursue any higher study course from Pakistan

The University Grant Commission (UGC) and All India Council of Technical Education (AICTE) have advised students not to pursue any higher study courses or degrees from Pakistan, as the degree will not be valid in India.

The reports state that all concerned are advised not to travel to Pakistan to pursue higher education. Any Indian national/Overseas Citizen of India who intends to take admission to any degree



college/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 a higher education degree in Pakistan and have been awarded citizenship by India would be eligible for seeking employment in India after obtaining a Security Clearance from MHA.
