Question

► took admission in B.Sc. from Magadh University in 2021 and completed it in 2024. Due to delay in the university session, my B.Sc. Part-I examination was held in August 2023. During my B.Sc., I also took admission in another undergraduate course at North-Eastern Hill University, Shillong. I appeared for the first semester examination in June 2023, but after that I stopped attending classes and did not continue the course. My admission there was automatically cancelled 8 9 months after i stopped and I did not obtain any degree from that university. After completing my B.Sc., I took admission in a 5-year BA LL.B course at the Central University of South Bihar (2024–2029), which I am currently pursuing. Will this situation, including my temporary enrollment and discontinuation of a course at NEHU during my B.Sc., affect my eligibility for judiciary or other government jobs? And can recovery of salary happen in this case

Answer 1

Dear Sir,

For judiciary exams or other government jobs, authorities are mainly concerned with (i) whether your final educational qualifications are valid, and (ii) whether there has been any suppression of material facts or use of false documents. Temporary enrollment in another course, followed by discontinuation, does not by itself disqualify you. However, if any application form specifically asks for details of all enrollments or educational history, you should disclose this honestly to avoid any allegation of concealment.

The issue of “simultaneous degrees” arises only when a candidate is pursuing two full-time regular courses at the same time in violation of rules laid down by bodies like the University Grants Commission. Even in such cases, the usual consequence is cancellation of one of the degrees if both are completed improperly. In your case, since you discontinued the NEHU course and did not obtain any degree from it, the risk is significantly lower.
