​

Q. What is recognition in global academic scenario?

A: Recognition in global scenario is of two types: Academic and Professional.

•Academic recognition is used for higher study. This specifically mean, getting recognition/accreditation from regional authorities only. When accepting application for higher study from foreign students, each Higher Education Institution (HEI) has its own criterion for a particular degree or diploma. The reputation of the country and presence of Multinational Companies (MNC) impact the recognition. Accredited degrees from Asia might not be viewed in the same way as compared to accredited degrees from developed countries. Even non accredited degrees from world top ranked institution are accepted by world's most prestigious institutions and global employers.  

•Professional recognition means for employment and practice. Non-regulated professionals in most cases don't need any academic recognition and acceptance for job is at the sole discretion of the employer. Regulated professions require both academic and professional recognition. Rules are more stringent to hold a license for public practice. For regulated profession, respective government decides the process of recognition. Regulated professions include teachers, doctors, lawyers, architects, engineers, accountants and others.

•Candidates are awarded with UK Government recognized awarding body certification leading to global recognition for job, profession and higher study.

•In Germany, recognition of degrees (except regulated profession and nationality) is not required. 

•In India, Chartered and Professional Societies don't come under the purview of University Grant Commission (UGC) and All Indian Council for Technical Education (AICTE). CIHE, India is offering various programs from certificate to post graduate diploma to its members. In fact, many universities and Higher Education Institutions (HEI) get accreditation by Chartered and Professional societies for global acceptance. In fact, this is the norm in UK since very long time. Chartered and Professional societies are standard setting bodies worldwide and advice various governments for policy decisions. 

•In India, it is up to the concerned academic institution/university to recognize the qualification including certificate, diploma, degree, etc. for the purpose of academic pursuit, i.e. continuing education for acquiring another academic qualification, with it. As regards recognition of academic qualifications for the purpose of employment, it is the prerogative of the concerned employer to take a view on the recognition of the certificate, diploma and degree. 

•For all occupations in Australia, the employer decides who they will employ. The Department of Education, Skills and Employment does not assess qualifications for study and migration. The education institution, such as a university, higher education provider or registered training organization, assesses overseas qualifications for admission. In all occupations, the employer decides who they will employ.

•In US, accreditation is voluntary, there is no federal agency for accreditation. “Accreditation” is used extensively for universities and colleges affiliated to a particular university. Accreditation can be granted by any agency without any restriction of location and set of rules. However, accreditation in general means accreditation by US Department of Education approved/recognized accreditation agencies. Most higher learning institutions, immigration authorities and corporate refer to this US Department of Education approved accreditation. US being a matured economy, both accredited and non-accredited programs are gladly accepted by leading corporations.

•In Sweden, private institutions without public funding may operate legally without approval or quality assurance by the Swedish authorities.  

•In Singapore, there is no central authority that assesses or grants recognition for degrees obtained from overseas universities. The reason is that the employer should be the one deciding whether a degree-holder has the qualities desired for the job and the qualification most relevant to his needs. The employer is in the best position to decide how much value he will assign to a person’s qualification.

•In Poland, foreign school certificates, diplomas or other educational documents may be recognized in Poland automatically
