Recognition and credit
Programs are delivered in India by The Bridge Education Services. Certificates and diplomas awarded by The Bridge are professional credentials and are not, on their own, degrees recognised under Indian regulations or aligned to the NSQF. Where a program carries credit from a partner university abroad, that credit is recognised by the awarding partner; its acceptance by any other institution is at that institution's discretion. Credit transfer pathways are offered in good faith and are subject to the partner university's admission requirements at the time of transfer. Ask an advisor for the current written terms before relying on any pathway.
