Subject : Recognition of Degrees/Diplomas of Open Universities
Dear Sir,
The Standing Committee at its 237th meeting held at Utkal University and the 68
th
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,
