The National Information Center of Mongolia (NIC) fulfills the national mandate to verify and register higher education qualifications obtained abroad. These functions support transparency, quality assurance, and the mobility of students and graduates.

Inbound Students – Verification and Registration of Mongolian Qualifications

1. Registration in National Systems
   Bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral degrees earned by inbound students are recorded in the Higher Education Information Management System (HEMIS), administered by the Ministry of Education.
2. Institutional Data Submission
   Admission and academic officers of higher education institutions (HEIs) enter diploma and transcript information into HEMIS.
   o Authorized bodies are granted controlled access.
   o MNCEA and NIC rely on HEMIS as the official source for validation and documentation of qualifications.
3. Verification Process
   When inbound students request a Qualification Verification Certificate, NIC verifies the qualification through:
   o the MNCEA platform containing accredited and recognized programs, and
   o the HEMIS database.
   This ensures accurate confirmation of program quality and authenticity.
4. Issuance of Verification Certificates
   Upon completing all verification steps, NIC issues an official Qualification Verification Certificate confirming the legitimacy of the qualification and the status of the study program.
