Dear aspirant ,

UG is the course you do after passing your 12th board. In India, the Graduation system is classified into two parts: Undergraduation (UG) and Postgraduation (PG). It takes three or four years to complete an "undergraduate" degree. After passing the UG course you become a graduate. UG Course include B.Sc ,BA, BTech ,BE, BCom, MBBS etc.

After that only, you can do the post graduate course. It is a course of generally 2 years. i.e , M.Sc,Mtech ,MA, MCom etc. are some examples of PG courses.


Hope this helps!

Hello,

UG stands for Under Graduation. It is the course that your take after completion of you 10 + 2 or 10 + diploma. UG involves bachelor's degrees like B.Sc, B.E, B.Tech, B.A, etc.

PG stands for Post Graduation. It is the specialization in any of your desired subject. It is done after completion of your Under Graduation. It involves degrees like M.A, M.Sc, M.Tech, M.E, MBA, etc.

UG is more of giving overall flavor and knowledge of your domain while in PG you specialize in particular course.

Best Wishes.
