Quick Summary

This discussion addresses the validity of a graduation degree obtained while serving in the defence forces. The key concern is whether such a qualification is legally recognised by the UGC, especially when pursued without explicit prior permission. While opinions vary on departmental approval, the consensus leans towards the degree being valid if the institution is UGC-recognised, though adding it to service records might require post-facto approval. The querist's ultimate goal is to confirm its validity for future civil service applications.

You should have obtained the permission from your department for appearing in the examination.
Now request your department to provide post facto approval and add your qualification after success /receipt of certificate.

Yes. Departmental permission is compulsory for appearing examinations if any. so you may request your appointing authority to consider your case basing on ignorance of rules.

Was the College/Institution from where you obtained the Degree not recognised by the UGC ? If so, your degree is valid too. However, you have not stated as to what is precisely your problem please.

Unlike their civil counter parts, military authorities are very liberal in allowing military personnel to continue their education. They are very well aware of the legal position that there is no statutory provision which disallows an employee from continuing his education so long as it does not adversely affect his devotion to duty and performance thereof.

Not able to fully agree with Mr Venu

whether in military or in ciivl

govt servant following higher education without written permission is liable for disciplinary action irrespective of fact whether this tapered his duties s or not.

qualification so acquired cannot be added in service record and the person is not allowed to apply for any recruitment/ promotion/ deputation for which the said qualification is essential.

No response from the author implies there is no issue left over.

Unfortunate that most of the experts have been debating on questions which were not raised by the querist. Kindly revisit his query and see as to where & whether he raised such a problem as has been assumed by some experts!

P. Venu (Expert) 10 August 2020
The legal issue raised in the query is whether the graduation completed while in military service could be "valid on UGC or legal point of view". The only suggestion could be that, in the absence of valid law to the contrary, there is no legal infirmity attached to the educational qualification that that the querist has achieved and acquired.

Any suggestion as to the said educational qualification being inchoate or improper or even a misconduct entailing disciplinary (or court-martial) proceedings ought to be based on sound legal footing.

You completed your degree in 2012, instead of asking theoretical / academic questions, please state whether you have faced any problem, if so, what problem?
