Hi.

 The Degrees Are Officially Recognised in India

DPGU is a legally established private university in India:

• It is recognised by the University Grants Commission (UGC) — which means degrees awarded by the university (e.g., BBA Hospitality) are valid and legitimate academically. 

• The university also has accreditation from NAAC with an A+ grade and NBA — both of which are quality and academic credibility indicators. 

This recognition means:
 Your degree is valid for higher studies and employment in India.
 It meets Indian statutory education standards.

What “International Recognition” Means

Here's the important nuance:

Recognition of the degree itself

Because the university is UGC‑recognised and accredited locally, your qualification is academically valid and legitimate, and can be used for:

• Applying abroad for postgraduate studies

• Credential evaluation by foreign credential agencies (e.g., WES)

• Job applications overseas

However, international recognition isn't automatic. External institutions or employers abroad usually check:

1. Whether the degree is from a recognised/legit Indian university — in this case, yes (UGC recognised). 

2. Evaluation by foreign credential agencies — e.g., WES (World Education Services) in the USA/Canada, UK NARIC or comparable bodies in Europe, and others.

These credential evaluation services typically assess:

• Equivalence of the Indian degree to their local standard

• Whether the Indian university appears in official recognised lists

Since DPGU is UGC‑recognised, such evaluations are generally acceptable to these agencies — but the level (tier/ranking) of the university may influence evaluation outcomes and competitiveness.

Hi.

Yes,   Dnyaan Prasad Global University (DPGU), under which the School of Hospitality & Tourism (SHT) operates, is recognised by the University Grants Commission (UGC).
DPGU is a UGC‑recognised private university established under the Government of Maharashtra Act, and its degrees are considered valid and legitimate in India.

What This Means

 Being UGC‑recognised means the university as a whole is authorised to award degrees under the UGC Act of 1956.
 All programs offered by the university — including those in the School of Hospitality & Tourism (such as BBA Hospitality, Integrated MBA Hospitality Management, and Ph.D. programs) — are covered under this recognition, as they are part of a UGC‑recognised university.
