Can a professional degree in cyber security obtained abroad be applicable in India as well?
Yes, a professional degree in cybersecurity from abroad can be applicable in India if it meets certain criteria.
- Accreditation: The foreign institution must be officially recognized in its home country.
- Program Structure: The degree should be earned through regular, in-person study (not online or distance learning).
- Entry Requirements: Admission criteria should be similar to those for equivalent programs in India.
These guidelines do not apply to fields like Medicine, Law, Pharmacy, Nursing, or Architecture, which have their own regulatory bodies in India.
To have your foreign cybersecurity degree recognized, you can apply for an equivalence certificate through the UGC's online portal. Recognition may also depend on specific employer or university requirements in India.
