We are delighted to share an important development for the Optometry profession in India.
The University Grants Commission (UGC), through its Specification of Degrees notification dated 27 August 2026, has officially specified:
> B.Optom. โ Bachelor of Optometry Level: Bachelorโs Minimum Duration: 5 Years Entry Qualification: 10+2
The notification places Bachelor of Optometry among the degrees under the regulatory purview of the National Commission for Allied and Healthcare Professions (NCAHP).
๐๏ธ Why this matters
This is an important step toward standardization and recognition of the nomenclature of the Optometry degree at the national level.
For Optometry students, educators and professionals, the clear specification of โBachelor of Optometry (B.Optom.)โ is a significant development for the identity and academic recognition of our profession.
A proud moment for the Indian Optometry community. ๐ฎ๐ณ๐
๐ข OPTOBHARAT will continue to share important updates that shape the future of Optometry in India.
