Second, the Association of Indian Universities (AIU) recognizes Irish degrees, which is important for students returning to India.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The post-study work permit in Ireland is governed by the<a href=\"https:\/\/www.irishimmigration.ie\/my-situation-has-changed-since-i-arrived-in-ireland\/third-level-graduate-programme\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> Third Level Graduate program<\/a> run by Immigration Service Delivery (ISD).
