ASSOCIATION OF INDIAN UNIVERSITIES
Association of Indian
Universities (AIU) is a special body in India to evaluate the
courses, syllabi, standard and credits of foreign Universities
and to equate them in relation to various courses offered by Indian
Universities.
The AIU is mainly
concerned with the recognition of Degrees/Diplomas awarded by
the accredited Universities in India and abroad for the purpose
of admission to higher courses at Indian Universities. The AIU
is also an implementing agency for the agreements signed under
the Cultural Exchange Programme executed between India and other
countries in the field of education, in so far as it relates to
the recognition of foreign qualifications (except for medicine
and allied courses).
This information
was given by the Union Minister of State for Human Resource Development,
Dr. Vallabhbhai Kathiria in written reply in the Lok Sabha today.
