A distance degree is only worth having if it is recognised. These are the questions we answer before you pay any fee.
Yes, when it comes from a university that is recognised and approved to offer that programme in distance or online mode. Under UGC regulations, degrees earned through approved open and distance learning (ODL) and online programmes are treated as equivalent to degrees from regular programmes. We help you check the approval before you enrol.
There are no daily classes. You study from home with study material and online resources. Some universities hold optional or short contact sessions, and exams are held at exam centres or online, depending on the university and programme.
Yes. The National Institute of Open Schooling (NIOS) and state open schools offer Secondary (Class 10) and Senior Secondary (Class 12) courses for learners who left school, are working, or need flexibility. We guide you through eligibility, subject choice and admission.
