My daughter enrolled in a distance learning fashion designing program through the International School of Design (INSD) in Pitampura, Delhi, affiliated with Mahatma Gandhi University (MGU) in Meghalaya. She completed her final exams in August 2014, but despite repeated follow-ups over the past 15 months, she hasn’t received her bachelor’s degree from MGU. Instead, INSD has issued their own diploma certificate, effectively jeopardizing her career prospects.

Your daughter’s situation highlights a potential breach of the agreement between INSD and MGU. As MGU is a recognized university in India, INSD’s issuance of a diploma certificate instead of a bachelor’s degree may be considered a violation of the student’s rights and the university’s regulations. You should seek legal advice to pursue redress from both INSD and MGU, including the possibility of filing a complaint with the University Grants Commission (UGC).
