Is the degree from Dubai universities really worth it if I come back to India after five or six years in UAE for a Master's?

Yes, a master's degree from a reputable Dubai university can be valuable if you return to India after five or six years.

Dubai universities offer internationally accredited programs that can strengthen your qualifications and employability. Many institutions are recognized by UAE authorities and also by Indian bodies such as the University Grants Commission (UGC).

However, the value of your degree in India depends on:
- UGC recognition: Ensure your chosen university and program are listed with the UGC for degree recognition in India.
- Accreditation: Select universities with strong reputations and official accreditation in both the UAE and India.

If you need help confirming recognition or choosing the right program, connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.
