Why exactly is Pak worried about what Indian UGC thinks of Pak universities?



Pakistan deplores the “public notice” jointly issued by the University Grants Commission of India (UGC) and All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE), advising Indian students against pursuing higher education in Pakistan, the Foreign Office said on Monday.


The UGC and AICTE had warned native and overseas Indian students planning to pursue higher studies in Pakistan that they will be denied employment as they do not recognise the “degree courses done only in online mode without prior approval”, Indian media reported.


The FO issued a statement to rebuke the move on Pakistan’s behalf. “The tone of the ‘public notice’ is not only threatening towards the students but it also reeks of tyrannical authoritarianism. It is regrettable that driven by its incurable obsession with Pakistan, the Government of India is unabashedly coercing the students in order to deter them from pursuing quality education of their choice,” the statement read. It stated that the contents of the advisory have further exposed the BJP-RSS combine’s deep-seated “ideological animus and chronic hostility” towards Pakistan.



It is deplorable that as part of its mission “Hindu Rashtra,” the Indian government has resorted to such moves in order to stoke hyper-nationalism in the country, the FO statement read. A clarification has also been sought from the Indian government on the “public notice.” The FO said Pakistan reserves the right to take appropriate measures in response to this openly discriminatory and inexplicable action by India.

I know many Indian American Muslims 2nd generation who've gone to Pakistan for Medical school.

This advisory is harmful to the reputation of Pakistani schools globally.

Like Indians are lining up to get education in Pakistan?

Redundant statement, I'm not sure how many Indians will chose Pakistan for higher studies.
I think a handful of language students and a 100 something odd Kashmiri medical students who like many of their peers from the rest of India fail to qualify for NEET and look for cheaper options elsewhere.

I get it’s the cheapest/feasible option for some of them — considering proximity, halal gender segregation(?) etc — but it’s also really stupid. The situation is so flaky and things change on a daily basis. Not sure what quality they expect to graduate with studying in such an uncertain environment.

The xenophobia and hatred for Pakistan is unmistakabe and clearly manifested...
Didn't they knew hatred devors people and nations.



Another Indian student who finished his MBBS degree in Pakistan two years ago expressed similar concerns. “The order is not clear,” he told TOI. “We studied in Pakistan in the past. Does it bar us from government jobs and higher education as well?”

“Also, there are many students who took admission before this order was passed. What about them? The government must reconsider its decision,” said the student.

“There are hundreds of students enrolled in different medical colleges of Pakistan and they have no idea now what to do,” a Twitter user wrote. “It’s very unfortunate when students have spent many years in Pakistan to complete [their] medical degree, suddenly UGC issued this notification from nowhere, when they know students still have valid visas to travel to Pakistan.”

Responding to qualifications obtained in the past, UGC chairperson M Jagadesh Kumar has clarified that the new order will not be enforced on a retrospective basis.
