Is a one-year master's in management equivalent to a master's degree recognized in India?
27 Aug 2026 · Answered by Mahalakshmi K · 1 min read
No, a one-year Master's in Management from a recognized foreign university is generally not considered equivalent to a Master's degree in India.
The Association of Indian Universities (AIU) typically grants equivalence only to foreign Master's degrees that are at least two years in duration. While the AIU is reviewing the possibility of recognizing some one-year degrees if they meet specific credit and content requirements, this is not the current standard.
