During the period of institutional recognition, the University was required to offer programmes approved by the statutory bodies of the University, after seeking approval of the concerned Regulatory bodies, wherever required. Seeking approval from the respective Regulatory bodies was the responsibility of the university concerned. At present, institutional recognition is not given by UGC and only programmewise recognition is given.

The degree(s)/diploma(s)/certificate(s) are verified/validated by the issuing authority i.e. concerned university/institution only.
