Which India-France agreement, discussed at the meeting, decides whether a degree earned in one country is accepted in the other?

  1. A.Mutual Recognition of Qualifications Agreement
  2. B.Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement
  3. C.Migration and Mobility Partnership Treaty
  4. D.Strategic Space Cooperation Accord

Correct answer

A. Mutual Recognition of Qualifications Agreement

Explanation

The correct answer is the Mutual Recognition of Qualifications Agreement, usually shortened to MRQ. A revision of this agreement between India and France is currently under way and the two ministers took it up during their talks. Its importance for students is direct, because recognition determines whether a qualification obtained in one country can be used in the other for higher study or for a job. Option B is wrong because a comprehensive economic partnership agreement deals with trade and investment, not academic degrees. Option C is wrong because a migration and mobility arrangement concerns the movement of people and visas rather than recognition of qualifications. Option D is wrong because space cooperation between the two countries runs on separate arrangements and was not the subject here.
