Why is UGC Approval Required for MBA?

Yes, as mentioned before, UGC approval is required for an MBA course in India. Moreover, getting an MBA from a school that is recognised by the UGC has many benefits. Some of these are:

It makes sure that your degree in management is recognised both at home and around the world.
The University Grants Commission (UGC) is in charge of both funding and managing, setting, and keeping standards in colleges and universities.
The UGC is also in charge of the Ministry of Education (UGC). So, in order for higher education institutions or institutes to offer graduation courses, they must first get permission from the UGC.
A university that has been approved by the UGC is likely to have all the facilities it needs - a good ratio of teachers to students, and well-organized academic processes.
