What is 1516?

We are Indians, we live in a land of tremendous opportunities, yet, many of us find ourselves in a fix. We don’t get the jobs we want, we don’t have the right information, we face obstacles in the form of wrong guidance by university/government officials and what not.

This is why we created 1516.

1516 is a place where we help to create and collate all the information we need to get clarity on things that matter to us.

How is B.Sc Agriculture eligible without ICAR accreditation? You are not eligible for admission into any program in our university.

…or something like this:

Your degree is fully valid as it is approved by UGC, you need not be disheartened.

Meaningless distractions to your career. Something that could be a small matter is made a big fuss by a huge load of bureaucracy. As a job seeker, you have enough woes, this website is an attempt to reduce your woes as much as we can by citing information that is vetted and has proper citations.

P.S. If you are wondering about the ICAR accreditation of a degree issued by Rai Technology University (RTU) which does not have ICAR, we file an RTI and got an official response. ICAR accreditation is a purely voluntary process. Yay!
