Before you pay any fee

How to check an online degree is valid

An online degree from a university that is entitled by UGC-DEB for that programme and session is treated as equivalent to the same university's regular degree. Check these every time:

  • The university is on the UGC-DEB list of entitled institutions on deb.ugc.ac.in
  • Your exact programme is named for your admission session (July or January)
  • The university is not on UGC's list of fake universities
  • Your DEB-ID can be generated at admission
  • NAAC grade and placement support, if they matter to you
Ask us to verify a university

Who it suits

Is an online degree right for you?

  • Working professionals who want an MBA or MCA without leaving their job
  • Students preparing for NEET, UPSC, SSC or bank exams who want a degree alongside
  • Students who couldn't get the regular college they wanted this year
  • Anyone who needs to study from home or a smaller town
Are online degrees valid for government jobs?
Degrees from UGC-DEB entitled universities are generally accepted where a "degree from a recognised university" is required. Always check the specific job or exam notification too.
Will my degree certificate say "online"?
It depends on the university. Many issue the same degree as their regular programme. We'll confirm this for the university you choose.
Can I do an online degree along with a regular course?
UGC allows two degrees at the same time in certain combinations, such as one regular and one online/distance. Check the university's rules before enrolling.
