Do Not Travel to Pakistan For Higher Education: UGC, AICTE Advise to Indian Students
The University Grant Commission (UGC) and the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) have issued an advisory for Indian students asking them not to go to Pakistan for higher studies.
“All concerned are advised not to travel to Pakistan for pursuing Higher Education. Any Indian national/ Overseas Citizen of India who intends to take admitted 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,” the notification read.
“However, migrants and their children who have acquired higher education degrees in Pakistan and have been awarded citizenship by India would be eligible for seeking employment in India after obtaining Security Clearance from MHA,” it added.
The latest educational advisory comes less than a month after the regulatory authorities asked Indian students not to opt for studies in China.
