Hi,

"UG" stands for undergraduate, which refers to programmes or seats for students who are pursuing their first degree, typically right after high school (Class 12), such as a bachelor's degree. "PG" stands for postgraduate, referring to advanced programmes or seats for students who have already completed an undergraduate degree and are pursuing further education, such as a master's or doctoral degree. In summary, UG is for initial degree programmes, while PG is for advanced studies after completing an undergraduate degree.
Hope this helps.

UG stands for Undergraduate. UG course is generally three or four years programme that is done after completing class 12th. On the other hand, PG stands for Postgraduate which is generally for one or two years. To be eligible for postgraduate programmes, candidates must have obtained Bachelor degree.

PG is postgraduate course which can be done  done after Undergraduate course(UG) .

Ex:- MBA, Mtech, MSC.

UG is Undergraduate course which is done after 12th.

Ex:- BSC, BA, B com etc . But These are are not professional degrees.

Btech, BSC agriculture, MBBS are professional degrees. Which are also under Undergraduate course.

UG is Under Graduate course which is done after doing 10 +2. And PG is post graduate course which can only be done after doing UG course.

Look. Its simple and easy.

UG is under graduation. Its the first degree you opt for after your 10+2 that is after 12th std.

In commerce its B.com

In arts its B.A

In engineering its B.Tech or B.E

In medical field its MBBS, BDS, BAMS, BHMS, BUMS

It can B. Phar also

When you get your graduation degree you can go for further studies and its called Post graduation or PG.

Its M.com in commerce.

Its M.A in arts

Its M.Tech or M.E in engineering

Its M.D or M.S in medical field.

And M. Pharm also

PG seats refers to Post Graduate seats which mostly starts with word "M" like MBA, M-Tech, M-Com etc. and for becoming eligible for PG courses you need to have a UG degree.
And UG seat refers to Under Graduate seats which mostly starts with word "B" like B-Tech, BBA, BCA, B.Com. You are eligible for UG courses only if you are 12th pass or studying in 12th or if you have completed diploma.

UG stands for Under Graduate. The degree you pursue after the completion of your 12th examination all comes under the category of UG. For further understanding any bachelor's degree is considered as Undergraduate, like B.Tech, B.Sc, B.Com, BBA or any such.

PG stands for Post Graduate. The degree you pursue after completion of you bachelor's degree all comes under the category of PG. For further understanding any masters degree is considered as PostGraduate, M.Tech, MSc, M.Com,MBA or any such.

PG means post graduation which is also masters degree

UG means under graduation which is bachlors degree

PG means post graduate , while UG means Undergraduate.

when you are pursuing B.E degree, at that time you are in UG.

After completion of B.E degree and you are going for masters it is under PG.

Ug seats are for undergraduate courses that can be applied for after 10+2 like B sc.,  B. Tech, M. B. B. S,  B. P. T, B. D. S, etc.

Pg seats are for post graduate courses that can be applied for after ug courses. Some pg programs are M sc.,M.Tech,M.D, M. D. S, etc.

Hope that helps you. ND
