Section T.2

New Delhi-1, the 20 November, 1970

Subject:- Recognition of Degrees/Diplomas awarded by I.I.Ts and Institutions deemed to be


universities under the U.G.C. Act regarding.

Sir,

I am directed to state that the Degree/Diplomas awarded by (i)Universities in India


incorporated by an act of the central or state Legislature in India, (ii) Educational Institutions
established by an act of Parliament and (iii) Institutions deemed as Universities under section
(3) of the University Grant Commission’s Act(1956) stand automatically recognized by the
Government of India for purpose of employment under the Central Government. No formal
orders recognizing such Degrees/Diplomas are issued by the Central Government. A copy of the
Ministry of Home Affair’s O.M.No.26/4/52-CS dated 30th September, 1952 as amended by their
O.M.No6/7/63-Estt.

(d) dated the 4th July, 1962 and their O.M.No.6/1/64-Estt. (e) dated the 19th April, 1964 issued
in this behalf is enclosed.

2. The following is the list of Institutions set up under an act of Parliament and Institutions
deemed as Universities under section (3) of U.G.C. Act (1956), which are awarding Technical
Degree and Diplomas.

(a) Institutions set up under an act of Parliament

1. Indian Institute of Technology, Hauz Khas, New Delhi


2. Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur
3. Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur.
4. Indian Institute of Technology, Madras
5. Indian Institute of Technology, Powai, Bombay.

(b) Institutions Deemed as Universities under U.G.C.


1. Birla Institute of Technology and Science, Pilani
2. Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore
3. Indian Institute of Mines, Dhanbad.

In view of the above orders of the Ministry of Home affairs the Technical Degrees and
Diplomas awarded by the above I.I.Ts and the Institutions deemed to be Universities under the
U.G.C Act stand recognised by the Central Government equivalent to Technical Degrees and
Diplomas in the corresponding subjects awarded by the recognised Indian Universities for
purpose of employment under the Central Government. This is recognition is enjoyed by all the
Ministries and Departments of the Government or Union Public Services Commission,
autonomous public organizations/undertaking etc. under the Central Government.

4. Cases have been brought to the notice of this Ministry that certain Departments
of the State Government such as Electricity and Public Works Departments did
not accept the degrees of the I.I.Ts and the holders of the degrees were asked to
produce sufficient evidence about the recognition of their degree by the U.P.S.C.
and the Central Government. This was an embarrassing situation and put the
degree holders in very much inconvenience. Their employments were delayed. A
large number of students joining and the Institutions deemed to be Universities
hail serious States and after completion of their degrees seek employment under
state Government Departments. In short that the holders of the degrees from
I.I.Ts and Institutions deemed as Universities are not put to any inconvenience in
future for the employment to State Services, it is requested that the contents of
this letter, the recognition of the degrees by the I.I.Ts, the Institutions deemed to
be Universities are brought to the notice of all Departments of the State
Government.

Yours faithfully,

(H.S. Kapoor)

Assistant Education Officer (T)
