Frequently Asked Questions
It means the university has been entitled by the UGC Distance Education Bureau (UGC-DEB) to offer specific degree programmes in online mode for a given academic year. Entitlement is granted programme by programme, not blanket for the whole university.
Check the official UGC-DEB portal at deb.ugc.ac.in. Search the university and verify it is entitled for online mode, for your exact programme, and for the year you plan to enrol. This page reflects universities we track, but the UGC-DEB portal is the authority.
Yes. Under the UGC (Online Programmes) Regulations, 2020, a degree earned in online mode from an entitled university is treated as equivalent to the same university's on-campus degree for higher study and most employment.
NAAC grade reflects institutional quality and is a useful filter, but the programme itself — curriculum, delivery, learner support and the specialisation you want — matters just as much. Use both together.
