India’s University Grants Commission has recommended Indians citizens against travelling to Pakistan for the purpose of seeking higher education, according to a public notice issued on Friday.
The notice said that any Indian national or overseas Indian citizen who intended to take admission in any Pakistani educational institute or degree programme would not be eligible for employment or higher education in India.
However, it added that migrants and their children who had received higher education in Pakistan would be eligible for seeking Indian employment, provided they were granted citizenship and obtained security clearance.
The current deadlock in Pak-India relations can be traced back to 2019 when on Feb 26, Indian jets trespassed into Pakistani territory and dropped their payload in Balakot, bringing two nuclear-armed nations to the brink of war.
