(b) whether India and China have signed an agreement to recognize each other`s higher education degrees and if so, the details thereof? |
ANSWER |
MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF HUMAN RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT (SHRI E. AHAMED)
(a) : There is no specific information available in this Ministry regarding Indian students with Chinese degrees facing problems in finding employment in the country due to non-recognition of their Chinese certificates. Equivalence of qualifications of various countries is provided through a bilateral mechanism. Absence of information from Chinese side has prevented establishment of equivalence of qualifications with China. Presently the largest number of Indian students in China are the Medical Students. While MBBS degrees from Chinese universities are not directly recognized by Medical Council of India (MCI), as per the MCI’s policy, Indian students studying Undergraduate Medicine (MBBS) in designated universities in China can appear for the Screening Test conducted by the MCI; after clearing which, they are qualified to practice in India, take up a job, as well as enroll for Postgraduate studies.
(b): No, Sir. |
