What is a Bakal Degree?

Bakal (also spelled bachelor) is a degree that is awarded to students who have completed their undergraduate studies in a specific field. In many countries, the bakal degree is considered to be equivalent to a bachelor's degree.

In some countries, such as India and Pakistan, the term "bakal" is used specifically to refer to a degree in engineering or technology, while in other countries, such as Malaysia and Singapore, it is used more broadly to refer to any undergraduate degree.

The word "bakal" is derived from the Arabic language, and it is thought to have been introduced to the Indian subcontinent by Muslim scholars during the medieval period. Today, the term is widely used throughout South Asia and other parts of the world with significant Muslim populations.
