Recognition for distance and online learning can change from one academic session to the next. Open the UGC-DEB portal and confirm that the institution, the exact programme and the 2026-27 session are listed.
Pay fees only through the institution's official channel and keep every receipt. A programme approved in an earlier year is not automatically approved this year.
This guide is general information. Dates, eligibility and fees change every session, so confirm them with the institution or the official portal.
