Sir,
Jammu University/ in its Syndicate decission taken in Sep 2005, that degrees/ Diplomas done through Distance mode after 2005 other than IGNOU/DOEACC is not recognised by it. On the same grounds J&K Service Selection Board has issued the notification for appointments of Teachers/ Account Assistants and other posts. It also implemented the decision of in toto.
My point is, I have done Masters degree though Pondicherry University in 2007. It is a renowned Central University, estb. under HRD and UGC Act and providing number of degrees through distance mode.
Now if I want to apply for the same my degree would not considered.
Kindly advise whether Jammu University/ J&K Govt. can refuse to entertain my degree. How come they took such decision by their own. Did they have any authority given by HRD Ministry/ UGC to take such decision.
Please suggest the way out.
Regards
Jagbir
