Ans: Kings Cornerstone provides an international curriculum from day one, whereas other institutions typically offer Indian qualifications before transferring credits abroad. Our teaching and learning approach is entirely international, focusing on practical assessments, projects, and interactive learning. In contrast, the traditional Indian system emphasises theory, exams, and memorization. This difference ensures that Kings Cornerstone students are better prepared for global academic and professional environments.

Ans: Yes, India now recognises UK and Australian degrees. A recent Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on Mutual Recognition of Qualifications (MRQ) was signed by the Australian and UK governments, confirming that degrees obtained in these countries will be officially recognised in India, with the agreement reciprocating recognition in the other direction as well.
Ans: Yes, engineering degrees from our partner universities in Australia, the UK, and the USA are recognised in India under the Washington Accord agreements. The Washington Accord is an international agreement among engineering accreditation bodies, including Engineers Australia, the Engineering Council in the UK, and ABET in the USA. These organisations ensure that the engineering programs meet global quality standards. The National Board of Accreditation (NBA) in India, a signatory of the Washington Accord, recognises engineering degrees accredited by these bodies, ensuring they are valid and accepted for professional practice in India.
Ans: The Association of Indian Universities (AIU) is responsible for granting equivalency for international degrees and awards. At KCIC, we can assist you with the application process for AIU if you need an equivalency certificate for employment or other purposes in India. Our students have successfully obtained bachelor equivalency for their HND and Bachelor degree qualifications obtained from the UK and Australia. (Sample of our students)
