1. even though the permission letter was granted to some other university since the original university was closed the candidate had opted for a similar course in a different university and completed his course. however he should have informed the employer about his migration.
2. it is not necessary that the government has to deviate the rules or law to facilitate the candidate the government will follow due procedures of law
If Permission letter mentions distance engineering course has to be completed from Sardar Patel university Meerut and he has completed from another university permission letter would not be valid
2) he should have informed authorities that university has been closed and he has completed course from another university
3) degree would be accepted if general permission was given for distance engineering course and name of university not mentioned
After completion of degree, while submitting the year-wise mark-sheets & provisional certificate for entering in the service records of the employee, he informed the authorities in detail about his migration to other university and under what circumstances he did it. Whether the authorities consider his case ?
They may consider his case but chances of degree being accepted are bleak
Permission granted for distance mode degree from a particular university. Took admission and completed part of degree. Said university closed by statutory order. Remaining part of degree completed from other university. Obtaining degree from other university under the circumstances is valid as it is under unavoidable circumstances over which you don’t have any control.
Authority is bound to consider your case. There is no question of any rejection. if you failed to inform the authority, it is only a irregularity which does not invalidate the permission.
The purpose is to record the educational qualification in his records on the basis of genuine and authentic certificates.
Besides he had already obtained permission for pursuing higher education from his employer.
Since the government has passed an order to remove the distance education program from that university, he cannot afford to waste his time or lose his career.
Therefore it was not illegal to migrate to a different university to continue his disrupted educational career.
Besides since the new university after recognizing his qualifications and confirming his eligibility, permitted him to pursue his studies in continuation.
Therefore there's no illegality in this
Yes it will be considered as per above mentioned conditions
