What a foreign degree is worth in India, stated before you pay.

Equivalence decides whether a foreign qualification counts for Indian government posts and university admission. The rules changed in 2025 and most sellers hope you never read them. Here they are in plain words, and here is how we apply them to every programme we recommend.

Branch campus in IndiaFull equivalence. The degree is delivered physically in India by the foreign university's approved campus.

TwinningFull equivalence possible. Start online or in India, finish on the foreign campus. The on-campus tenure meets the residency requirement under current AIU practice.

Fully onlineCase by case under UGC's 2025 regulations. Strongest where the university holds full home-country accreditation and the credits map closely to the Indian equivalent. We assess the realistic position for each programme before you pay.

Professional fields such as medicine, law, engineering, pharmacy, architecture and nursing are excluded from online and hybrid equivalence. We never offer them through this route.

How to use this page

If your goal is a government post or an Indian university admission, choose a route that ends in full equivalence: an Indian university, a branch campus in India, or a twinning pathway completed on campus.

If your goal is a global or private sector career, an accredited fully online foreign degree can serve you well. We map its recognition position in writing, per programme, before any money moves.

If someone promises equivalence for a fully online degree as a certainty, they are selling past the regulation. The 2025 rules make it an individual assessment, never automatic. Ask them for it in writing and watch what happens.
