    The M.Phil degree is now invalid after the University Grants Commission (UGC) of India declared it as discontinued. Students cannot pursue an M.Phil degree from government colleges as it is no longer recognized. 

    Only the students who wish to pursue an M.Phil in Clinical Psychology and M.Phil Psychiatric Social Work programs can pursue it since they have been allowed an extension till 2026.

    However, some private colleges and institutes continue to offer MPhil in other specializations as well, and students still pursue an M.Phil despite the orders and warnings from UGC.

    Hope this helps you.
