University Grants Commission yet to issue equivalence certificates after taking over role from TU
Summary
Students seeking equivalency certificates from the University Grants Commission in Nepal face delays due to incomplete legal procedures and lack of staff, affecting their academic and professional futures.
Key Points
- The University Grants Commission has taken over the responsibility of issuing equivalency certificates from Tribhuvan University but has not yet issued any permanent certificates.
- Over 1,000 students have applied for equivalency certificates since the service began on July 22, but delays remain as required regulations have not been approved.
- The commission lacks leadership and a fully established decision-making structure, hindering the approval and issuance process.
- Temporary letters are being issued to students with urgent needs, but these do not replace permanent equivalency certificates, causing uncertainty among students.
