Your bachelor's degree from the UK or Ireland can be recognized in India if it meets certain criteria set by the University Grants Commission (UGC). The degree must be awarded by an institution accredited in its home country and completed through regular, in-person study. Degrees earned solely through distance learning or unaccredited online platforms may face additional scrutiny. To have your degree recognized, you will need to apply for an equivalence certificate through the UGC portal, submitting the required documents for review. Professional courses like Medicine, Pharmacy, Nursing, Law, and Architecture have separate recognition processes through their own regulatory bodies.
