Hello Amrita,

First of let me brief you about what UGC is and what it does? UGC stands for University Grants Comission. The basic role of UGC in laymen terms is to maintain the standards of higher education.

If your university has UGC approval then it will be a plus point for you. It generally means that your university is recognised and approved by many foriegn universities. So, as per your plan to study abroad, you need the UGC approved college. Nevertheless, if you don't have one then it's not that much off a deal but if your university has one than it would be good for you.

Yes, ofcourse you can do masters abroad.UGC is just a governing body. It provides recognition to universities in India and disbursements of fund to such recognised universities and colleges.

Hope your query is resolved.

If in nearby future, you need my assistance, do inform me.

I wish you best of luck in your future endeavor.
