Imagine a student who enrolls in two degree programs simultaneously. After completing one year, he drops one program and finishes the other in three years. Is this considered misleading or unethical? How can he avoid any potential issues down the line?

Under Indian law, it is not illegal to enroll in multiple degree programs simultaneously. However, it is essential to inform both institutions of the dual enrollment and to formally withdraw from one program before completing it. This transparency avoids potential ethical concerns and ensures clear academic records.
