Why Are Ugc Decisions Taking So Long? Inside the Growing Backlog of Pending Approvals
By Chloe Bennett
How long does UGC foreign degree equivalence verification take?
Standard processing generally spans 60 to 120 days. The primary cause of delay is the time required for foreign institutions to verify academic credentials and transcripts directly with the Indian regulatory clearinghouse.
What should I do if my JRF fellowship disbursement status shows pending?
Check first with your university scholarship nodal officer to confirm whether your monthly continuation certificate was uploaded before the 15th of the month. If institutional compliance is complete, register a grievance on e-Samadhan citing your Canara Bank scholarship portal beneficiary code.
Can I visit the UGC headquarters in New Delhi to resolve a pending status?
Direct in-person visits to the Bahadur Shah Zafar Marg headquarters rarely grant access to processing desks. File your claim online through the e-Samadhan portal, escalate via RTI, or visit your regional UGC office during scheduled public grievance hours.
