Sub: RECOGNITION OF DEGREES AWARDED BY OPEN UNIVERSITIES

Sir/Madam,
There are a number of open Universities in the country offering various degrees/diploma through the mode of non-formal education. The
Open Universities have been established in the country by an Act of Parliament or State Legislature in accordance with the provisions
contained in Section 2(f) of University Grants Commission Act, 1956. These universities are, therefore, empowered to award degrees in
terms of Section 22(1) of the UGC Act, 1956.
A circular was earlier issued vide UGC letter N.F.1-8/92(CPP) dated February,1992 mentioning that the Certificate, Diplomas and Degrees
awarded by Indira Gandhi National Open University are to be treated equivalent to the corresponding awards of the Universities in the
country.
Attention is further invited to UGC circular No.F1-25/93(CPP-II) dated 28th July, 1993 (copy enclosed) for recognition of degrees and
diplomas as well as transfer of credit for courses successfully completed by students between the two types of Universities so that the
mobility of students from Open University stream to traditional Universities is ensured without any difficulty.
The UGC has specified the nomenclature of degrees under Section 22(3) of the UGC Act, 1956 to ensure mandatory requirements viz.
minimum essential academic inputs required for awarding such degrees. A copy of Gazette Notification regarding specification of degrees
issued vide No.1-52/97(CPP-II) dated 31st January 2004 is enclosed. The details are also given in UGC Web site : www.ugc.ac.in
May, I therefore request you to treat the Degrees/Diploma/Certificates awarded by the Open Universities in conformity with the UGC
notification on Specification of Degrees as equivalent to the corresponding awards of the traditional Universities in the country .
Yours faithfully,
Sd/-

Subject : Recognition of Degrees/Diplomas of Open Universities

Dear Sir,
The Standing Committee at its 237the meeting held at Utkal University and the 68th Annual Session of the AIU and in December, 1993
at the University of Delhi have decided in principle that the Degrees of the Open Universities be recognized in terms of the flowing
resolutions:
“Resolved that the examinations of one University should be recognized by another on reciprocal basis, provided that the entrance
qualification, duration of course and the general standard of attainment are similar to those prescribed by the recognized university.”
“Further resolved that in case of Degrees awarded by Open Universities, the conditions regarding entrance qualifications and duration
of the course be relaxed provided that the general standard of attainment are similar to those prescribed by the recognized university.”
The decision is brought to the notice of the Universities for favour of appropriate action in the matter. The additional information, if required
in this behalf, may kindly be obtained from the Registrar of the Universities direct.
Thanking You,
Your faithfully,
