Dear All Parents

It is requested not to spoil your child's future by admitting your child in this fake Learning Centre which is not authorized by Ministry of Higher education in KSA and AICTE-(All India Council for Technical Education).

The certificates are not attested from Saudi Consulate also.

Better prefer for any local University or your home country University which has education campus.

Best regards
Ali

SMU is already Recognised by AICTE-(All India Council for Technical Education) and not only SMU even IGNOU and AGU certificates are not attested by Saudi Embassy and Cultural Mission, So Do you want say IGNOU is a fake University ? Just some research before labelling some one fake.

The reason behind Saudi Embassy's refusal to attest IGNOU, SMU Certificates is because their courses are based on Distance Learning Mode. They are fully aware that IGNOU is a Govt. University and it is recognized by UGC, AICTE but still it is their internal process and discretion to decide whether they would like to attest it or not. I am an IGNOU student, i believe the quality of Education we get from IGNOU is worth excellent and it is far more better than their saudi's regular university. But, they have a traditional mentality which makes them feel that one can only gain qualitative education through regular universities only. If SAUDI is not accepting IGNOU, SMU degrees that that is their loss, not yours. They are actually loosing the highly skilled foreign manpower which could help to raise their economy. Anyways, you can still try for other countries who are broad minded and not narrow minded like Saudi'sssssssssssss... SImple. But, please think and reasearch more before labelling someone fake, even tommorow's your family member may say he doesn't recognize IGNOU, SMU degrees but that doesnt mean it is fake. Claiming IGNOU, SMU degrees as fake is a huge stupidity coz you won't get any other better Universities which are highly recongized by different bodies like UGC, AIU, AICTE and many more...THanks

SMU degrees are not recognized...interesting topic. This is a traditional problem with Indian mentalities, how can it be same.

Yes, why should it be recognized, u crazy people sit at home and sometimes not eligible to get a reguler admissions in India and don't pass any entrance test to get admission like the way we hardworking professionals earn.

If you think by passing a degree from SMU, u r same like regular student from a reputed institution, be in your own dreams.

One, more crazy aspect people bring is, they say SMU is same like Manipal University, Karnatatka, it is not and there is no comparison between chock and cheese.

So work hard and do reguler education for u r professional growth .

Dear All,
SMUDE was recognized till 2012 by DEC but after that their recognition was not renewed and subsequently DEC has been dissolved and taken over by UGC & DEB. Meanwhile, the central confusion of students & parents towards SMUDE is justified because SMUDE like many other state universities in India (e.g. karnataka State Open University) has been reduced to nothing but a diploma mill. Forget about quality education and all, they are highly indulged in illegal practices of earning money in the name of education.

Legal perspective here is: a recognized state university has the jurisdiction of its state only. Any study center of a state university in another state is illegal and degrees obtained from such study centers will be deemed fake in an ideal situation. But since the thread is full of attitudes and ego, ignorance of above said fact will be at your own responsibility.

Best regards,

Naim

Dears, It is true that for KSA the agents are telling you that SMU degrees are not attested but that is not always true. I did my B.Sc IT(2006) and later MCA(2013) from SMU. I got the professional work visas for UAE (2009) and later KSA (2011 and 2015) (KSA Delhi Embassy and SACC attested attached degree and visa pic) on the basis of my SMU-B.Sc-IT degree. I opted for DE course as I was working full time since I completed my Diploma in IT and DOEACC O-A after my 10+2. For working professionals, the best option to certify their knowledge which is acquired on job, by self study and through consulting classes or by professional mentors and workshops are far more superior than getting the same in classroom by old faculties hired by university many years ago only. However for fresher's I don't prefer DE professional courses myself. Believe me if your degrees are genuine and your knowledge is good and acquired by hard-work and not by buying the degrees from degree shops then you need not to worry. In my 10+ yrs professional career, I never faced rejection on the ground of DE degrees. For all genuine SMU degree holders, my advice is to visit the SMU Gangtok and get your degree attested there first by university and state HRD. (I got that done in just 2 days). Then visit to Delhi MEA/HRD to get that attested. Then submit it to agent for attestation, they may refuse but don't give up, make them submit and follow. ( On embassy rejection, I took appointment at vasant kunj office and went myself with all my papers, admit cards, assignments, projects and degrees and phone number of SMU VC office, I spoke to the staff and convinced him that my degree is genuine and they accepted).

Dear i believe that, before doing HRD, any way we need to take university verification & if it is there then why we need to convince then regrading guniness of degree. provide there should be policy of full time only.

SMU DE degree is of no value. They sell it for money. IGNOU itself is not accepting degree bscit from smude. Even UGC under rti says it not valid. Now still the university advertise heavily through electronic media -monster.com etc. Even they ask existing debt students to get new ones by paying commission to them. Beware.
