The students intending to pursue their higher studies in UAE should ensure that the course / universities are recognized in India. For this they can contact Association of Indian Universities, New Delhi.
Attention of students is also invited to various guidelines issued by UGC from time to time barring State Universities/State Private universities to operate Distance Education centres outside the territorial jurisdiction of the state. Students are, therefore, advised not to pursue higher studies at distance education centres claiming to be affiliated to any of the state university in India. It is also important to note that the Ministry of Education, UAE does not recognise degrees obtained through Distance/ Private mode of study.
