I let this go through without really checking it. What do we think?

 

Seems a tout.

 

- University was established under UGC act, accredited as grade "A" by NAAC, so meets the "evaluated as equivalent to an accredited US university"
- International student fee is $1400 for entire semester, which is good, and they have planned for international students, which is very good.
- Now the tough part - usefulness. The PG Diplomas will probably be evaluated as graduate certificates. How far they'll be useful in one's carerr - I don't know.

 

Bachelors equivalent perhaps?

PG has been suggested as equivalent to a BA,but completed in shorter time. What are your thoughts?

 

Also currently have to attend the Uni in Delhi once a year to do final test. So that's a non-starter for me.

They have stated that this might change and the student may be allowed to take the test online. When that happens I will look at it again.

 

I don't think that's how eval agencies treat it.

 

My thoughts are that this is not so.
