Ans. The Certificate in Performing and Visual Arts is a UGC-sponsored add-on certificate course offered by Mahishadal Girl's College. The certificate is typically awarded by the college itself, as add-on courses are college-level programmes and not university degree programmes. However, since the college is affiliated to Vidyasagar University, the certificate may carry the college's name along with the university affiliation. Students should confirm the exact nature of the certificate (college-issued vs. university-issued) with the college administration at the time of admission, as this may be relevant for future academic or employment purposes.
