Guwahati: The University Grants Commission (UGC) and the All-India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) in a joint notification encouraged Indian students not to seek higher education in Pakistan.
Students are urged not to travel to Pakistan for higher education by both the UGC and the AICTE.
Any Indian person or Indian overseas citizen who seeks further education in Pakistan will be ineligible for employment or higher education in India, according to the Council and Commission.
The notice issued by the Council and Commission on Friday reads, “All concerned are advised not to travel to Pakistan for pursuing Higher Education. Any Indian national/Overseas Citizen of India who intends to take admission in any degree college/educational institution of Pakistan shall not be eligible for seeking employment or higher studies in India on the basis of such educational qualifications (in any subject) acquired in Pakistan.”
However, the organisations have granted relief to migrants and their children who have obtained a higher education in Pakistan and have been granted Indian citizenship. After receiving Security Clearance from the MHA, such candidates are eligible to seek work in India, according to the notice.
