If I work abroad for two years and then return to India, how is my foreign degree and experience accepted?
Yes, your foreign degree and work experience can be accepted in India, but there are guidelines to follow.
- Foreign degree recognition: The University Grants Commission (UGC) recognizes foreign degrees if the awarding institution is recognized in its home country and the program matches Indian standards.
- Equivalence certificate: You may need to apply for an equivalence certificate through the UGC’s online portal to confirm your degree’s validity in India.
- Foreign work experience: International work experience is valued, especially for global exposure and cross-cultural skills, but its impact on job prospects and salary depends on your industry and the relevance of your experience.
