 Important Notes Before You Apply
✔ UGC recognition is the baseline requirement for degree validity in India — SIU meets this. 
❗ Professional regulatory approvals (like AICTE for engineering, PCI for pharmacy, BCI for law, NCTE for education) are not consistently confirmed online — you must check approval status for your specific program directly with the university and relevant council before admission.
❗ NAAC accreditation, a quality indicator for universities, is currently not present.

If you’d like, I can help you check specific course accreditation or eligibility requirements (e.g., MBA, engineering, law) for SIU. Just tell me which program you’re interested in!
