Recognizing Masters Degrees of UK in India
The one-year masters degrees given by the UK universities are not recognised in India
So discussion is under way for an agreement to mutually recognise these degrees
Why India didn’t recognize these degrees?
Because some of them come from less reputed educational institutions in UK which would hamper prospects of students in future.
