Agencies
NEW DELHI, May 15, 2019: The Secretary of University Grants Commission (Ministry of Human Resource Development, Government of India), Prof. Rajnish Jain has issued an advisory cautioning students from taking admission in unapproved Institutions in Pakistan Occupied Kashmir (PoK).
Since Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK) is an integral part of the Union of India and the educational institutions including universities, medical colleges, technical institutions and other educational institutions situated in PoK were neither established by Government of India nor recognised by Statutory Authorities such as University Grants Commission (UGC) and All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE), Medical Council of India (MCI) etc.
Therefore, students have been cautioned/ advised against taking admission in any college/ university/ technical institution in any territory under illegal occupation of Pakistan including the so-called AJK and Gilgit Baltistan which were currently not recognised in India.
