Can I get job abroad if I done my B.Tech from UGC recognised university (LPU) but not AICTE approved.

Question

ParmSidhu · Answer

Yes. A B.Tech degree from LPU, which is a UGC-recognised university, can be used when applying for jobs abroad. The fact that a university is not required to have AICTE approval for its degree programmes does not automatically make the B.Tech degree invalid for international employment. In India, universities established under state legislation and recognised by the UGC can have the authority to conduct and award degrees under the applicable regulations. For employment abroad, what matters is usually whether your degree is recognised and whether it meets the requirements of the particular country, employer, professional body or immigration authority. Some employers may ask for an educational credential evaluation to verify the Indian qualification and its equivalence to a degree in that country. Countries and professions can have different requirements. For example, regulated engineering professions may require professional registration, accreditation or additional assessments even when the university degree itself is recognised. Your chances of getting a job abroad will therefore depend not only on the university but also on your B.Tech branch, technical skills, work experience, internships, English/communication skills and the requirements of the employer and destination country. For fields such as software, IT and many other private-sector engineering roles, employers generally focus strongly on skills and experience in addition to the qualification. So, not having AICTE approval by itself should not be treated as a barrier to working abroad. It is better to check the specific country and job requirements before applying, particularly if you are planning to work as a licensed or registered engineer.

Let me be honest right now because of the recession. The software industry has decreased the number of jobs for foreign countries. However, the highly skilled Software engineers are able to secure a foreign placement, but for that you need to be from an elite university, such as NIT, IIT or BITS as generally students from private or tier three colleges are not able to secure foreign or international placements on campus. As a fresher, my suggestion would be focused on DSA improve your skills. SOLVE good leetcode Problems, participate in coding, competitions on cold chef code, forces, and coding, ninjas and keep working hard. Try to grab above average fresher placement on of campus and then after experience of year or 2 Apply for FAANG companies i'm not saying that it is completely impossible for you, but I am being a realistic and practical because even only 5-10 students from IIT or NIT or BITS get International placements So in that aspect your competition is really high even more than JEE. So keep working on your skills and with extreme hard work skills and a little amount of luck. You might be able to secure foreign international placement of campus because I just saw your college placement brochure. No Companies are there that do not provide international placements for on campus drive

Yes, you can get a job abroad after completing B.Tech from a UGC-recognized university like LPU, even if the programme is not AICTE approved. For most foreign employers and universities, UGC recognition and degree validity matter more than AICTE approval, which is mainly relevant within India. Abroad, employers focus on your skills, experience, projects, internships, and performance in interviews. For higher studies, credential evaluation agencies usually check university recognition, not AICTE. However, for government jobs in India or some regulated professions, AICTE approval may matter. Overall, global opportunities depend more on competence than approvals.

Goes without saying that a B.Tech degree from Lovely Professional University-a university under UGC-can help secure jobs abroad, even without a stand-alone AICTE approval for its programs. Under Punjab Act, LPU is a bona fide state university and, on the basis of Supreme Court ruling (e.g., Bharathidasan University vs. AICTE), does not need an AICTE approval, while degrees become globally valid via UGC equivalence. Such degrees will also be approved by WES for Canada/USA immigration and are accepted by Amazon, Cognizant, and Microsoft, which recruit graduates of LPU CSE for international roles (e.g., ₹64 LPA packages). Many LPU alumni move overseas and find placement in tech hubs that are strongly parameters supported toward accrediting CSE programs through the NBA; NAAC A+, and NIRF rankings: more focus on skills-internship and GATE/GRE for visas versus AICTE.

Dear Narain, LPU is not recognised by AICTE, because universities need only UGC approval. The colleges need AICTE approval to run engineering programmes as per rules and regulations. For more details, you may refer to the UGC website, I hope this helps Thanks!

Hello dear, AICTE is a body which regulates the AFFILIATED colleges who are under the affiliation of various universities but not the universities themselves. Coming to Jobs overseas: First of all if you are seeking a job in India then you must be aware of the fact that more than 650 companies visit the campus and hire thousands of students through over 900 placement drives. A huge number of former students work in government sector in India as well as many other countries. So there is no problem of any job after graduating from LPU. I hope this will help you.

Dharamveer Dheer · Answer

LPU has been established by Punjab Vishan Sabha Act passed in 2005 u/s 2F of UGC Act 1956. It is recognised by UGC, member of AIU and for all the regulated programs by the relevant authorities. AICTE is a body which regulates the AFFILIATED colleges to various universities not the universities themselves. Coming to Jobs: More than 700 companies visit the campus and hire thousands of students through over 900 placement drives. A huge number of former students work in government sector in India as well as many other countries. So there is no problem of any job after graduating from LPU. DVD.
