UGC Notification, Mphil degrees are not recognised
way2barak, Dec 27: The University Grants Commission (UGC) has issued a notification instructing universities across the country to cease admissions for MPhil courses for the 2023-24 session, citing its non-recognition as a valid degree.
Apart from this, UGC Secretary Manish Joshi also cautioned students not to get admitted to any MPhil programme offered by universities in India.
“It has come to the notice of the UGC that a few Universities are inviting fresh applications for M.Phil. (Master of Philosophy) programme. In this regard, it is to bring to the notice that the M.Phil. degree is not a recognised degree. Regulation No. 14 of the UGC (Minimum Standards and Procedures for Award of PhD Degree) Regulations 2022 clearly states that Higher Educational Institutions shall not offer M.Phil. programme,”
