Indian degrees to get equivalency in UAE
- 01 April, 2019
The United Arab Emirates (UAE) government is set to issue equivalency to all Indian degrees that match their respective criteria. Indian ambassador Navdeep Singh Suri called the UAE education minister Hussain Bin Ibrahim to discuss the problems faced by Indian nationals following the rejection of equivalency of some Indian degrees due to lack of clarity of internal and external marks. A press release issued by the Indian Embassy of Abu Dhabi stated that the embassy was happy to inform the Indian community that the Ministry of Education of the United Arab Emirates had no objection to equivalence of those degrees that meet all the other certificate equivalency criteria.
The UAE education ministry reviewed the information provided through the ‘Action Plan for Academic and Administrative Reforms’ that was issued by the University Grants Commission where they clarified the word ‘external’ in mark sheets to reflect the method of evaluation and not a place of study.
"Those applications that have been rejected previously, will be reviewed and equivalency letters would be issued after meeting all other certificate equivalency conditions," the release stated.
The Ministry of Education of the UAE further informed the Indian Embassy official that it is working on all such applications gradually.
