Is degree from deemed university in India a recognised degree for immigration pu

[Nit4canada]

Hi all,

I am a masters degree holder in bio medical genetics ( a specialisation in biotechnology) from the VIT ( Vellore Institute of Technology) University, Tamil Nadu, India. The VIT University comes under the " deemed University" status under the UGC, India. I am wondering can a degree from an institution with deemed university status be a fully recognised degree for canadian immigration purposes?

I have heard from the forum in some cases the immigration authorities are refusing the application on the ground that the degree is not from a recognised institution. Is there any official list of recognised education institutions/ Universities, which the Canadian Immigration rely on? Where can i get that list? Please share information, if anybody has idea about such a list. Thank you very much

is your degree recognized by aicte. i read recently in the forum that if it is recognized by aicte then it would be recognized by cic.

UGC in India should mentions the list of approved and recognised institutes/universites on its website, CIC uses this resources for verification purpose.

Thank you very much Rupeshhari and Nimmiboy for your quick responses. I hope since the VIT is there in the deemed university list in UGC, there would not be any problem. Thanks and take care..
