I am doing lateral entry MBA from Punjab Technical University. I already did my PGDM through an AICTE approved institute but later came to know that you can’t get into academics without a MBA degree (PGDM is Diploma, Period!!!)

Hence I enrolled in lateral entry MBA through PTU in Sep 2009 (with a fees of Rs.20,000). Two weeks before, a colleague of mine in a casual discussion poured doubt over the eligibility of lateral entry program for consideration in UGC-NET. He asked me to file a RTI and I curiously filed it on 4th March 2010. Today I received the response to my letter and I am totally flabbergasted after reading it.

Here’s the reply in two parts

To conclude, you can’t get a UGC-NET certificate and can’t go into academics with a distance education degree NOT recognized by ‘Joint Committee’. As per the DEC website, only these universities are recognized by ‘Joint Committee’.

If you are enrolled (in a distance education program) from any of these universities, then you should start worrying about the recognition of your degree.

I feel duped and cheated but I know I won’t get any respite from anywhere. Pass it on all people concerned.
