New Delhi, April 23:
In a joint notice, the University Grant Commission (UGC) and the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) have warned students not to pursue their higher education in any specific subject or courses in Pakistan.
If a person goes to Pakistan for higher education, he/she won’t be able to seek employment in India regarding that same course of the subject, making an exception for Pakistani migrants with Indian citizenship, the two education regulatory bodies have said.
The notification reads, “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.”
UGC and AICTE further added, “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.”
This comes just a few days after the authorities asked Indian students not to migrate to China for their studies. This advisory was issued after the Chinese government denied visas to Indian students who were already seeking education in the country.
