UGC APPROVED LICENSE
What is UGC Approved License?
The University Grants Commission (UGC) is the statutory body that coordinates, formulates, and maintains the standards of higher education in India. The word ‘University’ cannot be used by any institution other than a university established by or under a Central or State Act or Provincial Act.
In order to be UGC recognized the University has to undergo an inspection by an expert panel designated by UGC. Only after the panel is satisfied with the vision of the management, infrastructure, faculty and staff, curriculum, policies, and procedures, etc., the University is recommended for recognition.
If not, then either the application is rejected right away, or the institute is given time to meet the compliance requirements. The status of UGC recognition and detailed report by the inspection panel for any University in India can be seen on the website of UGC.
Why this License is Required?
The UGC-recognized institutes would mean the fulfillment of minimum education requirements. Also, the degree awarded by them will be recognized.
