Indian higher educational institutions (HEIs) must follow University Grants Commission’s (UGC) latest regulations for twinning and dual degree programmes with foreign universities, the Commission has ruled.
Currently, 230 Indian and 1,256 foreign HEIs are eligible to offer twinning, joint degree and dual degree programmes, as per the new regulations.
Under the twinning programme, Indian HEI students may study partly in India and in foreign institutions but the Indian HEI will award the degree.
