I have done Ph.D. from a university in Delhi (from 2012 -2017). During my Ph.D., I did a 1-year regular diploma from another university in the came city. But I didn't take permission/intimate from my Ph.D. institution to pursue a 1-year diploma in 2016. Currently, I work in the same university from which I completed my Ph.D. as a regular employee.
The essential as well desirable qualifications for the job/post didn't have any requirement of the diploma I completed. Neither did I use the diploma qualification to get my current job (in a government institution) nor was it desired by my employer by any means/reason. But the job required Ph.D. as an essential qualification.
Now can you please tell me can my PhD degree be challenged by my employer if they found that I have done a diploma simultaneously? I enquired with UGC for the same and they said that UGC does not have any guidelines prior to April 2022 for simultaneously pursuing a degree and diploma in regular mode. So they basically have no rules against it.
Please suggest.
