In an advisory issued on Friday for Indian nationals and overseas citizens, the University Grants Commission and All India Council for Technical Education said that all "concerned" are advised "not to travel to Pakistan for pursuing Higher Education."

The regulators said, those intending to receive education in Pakistan, will not be eligible for employment or further education in India.

The advisory said: "Any Indian national/Overseas Citizen of India who intends to take admission in any degree (of) college/educational institution of Pakistan shall not be eligible for seeking employment or higher studies in India on the basis of such educational qualifications (in any subject) acquired in Pakistan."

It added that migrants and their children who "have acquired higher education degrees in Pakistan and have been awarded citizenship by India would be eligible for seeking employment in India," but only after obtaining security clearance from the Indian Home Ministry.

The Indian government had previously issued similar advisories for educational institutions in Pakistan-administered Kashmir.

Most of Indian nationals who pursue higher education in Pakistan are from India-administered Jammu and Kashmir region.

Narendra Modi to hold first Kashmir public event since security clampdown

The erstwhile princely state of Jammu and Kashmir has been a bone of contention between the two nuclear rivals since 1947, following the end of British colonial rule in the subcontinent.

The Muslim majority picturesque valley is held by Pakistan and India in parts and claimed by both in full. A small sliver of Kashmir is also held by China.

Since they were partitioned in 1947, the two countries have fought three wars-in 1948, 1965 and 1971-two of them over Kashmir.

Some Kashmiri groups in Jammu and Kashmir have been fighting against Indian rule for independence, or unification with neighboring Pakistan.
