Affiliations & Approvals

What affiliation means for you

A degree from Nav Chetna is awarded by the affiliating university, not by the college. Your mark sheets, your degree certificate and your migration certificate carry the university's name. This matters when you apply for a job, a government post, a postgraduate seat or a visa — the recognition attaches to the university, and the college is the place where the teaching happened.

Which university awards my degree?

• Sri Dev Suman Uttarakhand University (Tehri) — Arts, Commerce, Science, Management, Computer Applications and Library Science programmes.
• Hemvati Nandan Bahuguna Garhwal University — a central university, for selected degree programmes.
• H.N.B. Uttarakhand Medical Education University (Dehradun) — Nursing, Physiotherapy and Allied Health Science programmes.
• Uttarakhand Board of Technical Education (Roorkee) — technical diploma programmes.

Why council approval matters separately

For professional programmes, university affiliation alone is not enough. A pharmacy diploma must be approved by the Pharmacy Council of India before its holder can register as a pharmacist. A B.Ed. must be recognised by the National Council for Teacher Education before its holder can be appointed to a school post. Nursing programmes must be approved by the State Nursing Council before a graduate can register and practise.

Nav Chetna holds all three. When you compare colleges, ask specifically about council approval for the programme you want — not about the institution in general.
