Hi Hareesh,

Yes, You can now pursue 2 degrees at a time but not now. It is not officially released from UGC. But A notification will soon be issued.

For those with a thirst for knowledge, getting degrees in more than one subject no longer means completing one to pursue the other. The University Grants Commission recently approved rules for the dual degree programme that allows students to enrol in two universities simultaneously for different degree programmes. A notification will soon be issued. Rules until now did not allow a student to be enrolled with more than one university at a time.

Vice President of the UGC Bhushan Patwardhan told The New Indian Express that one of the two degrees has to be pursued as a regular scholar and the other must be obtained through distance learning or via online classes. “Dual Degree is a student-centric initiative. For instance, if a student enrols in X university, and wants a second degree which is available at Y university, she can opt for it,” said Patwardhan.

The UGC has set up a panel headed by its Vice Chairman Bhushan Patwardhan to examine the issue of pursuing two degree programmes simultaneously from the same university or different universities either through distance mode, online mode or part time mode.

But an official notification to be released .

So wait for it, after that you can definitely can get 2 degrees at a time.

Thank You.
