Sir Greetings! is it true that now UGC wont differentiate rather treats equally both regular and correspondence degree or PG. Even correspondence students are eligible and apply for both govt and private sector jobs. I heard even companies need to accept correspondence degree done in India. Sir please clarify without any ambiguity in this regard. This is Q has been bothering me for quite sometime

Ans: Anirvinna, The University Grants Commission (UGC) and other regulatory bodies in India have made significant efforts to ensure that distance education degrees are treated as equivalent to regular degrees. The UGC states that degrees obtained through distance or online education from recognized institutions are equivalent to regular degrees, applicable for both government and private sector jobs. The Distance Education Bureau (DEB) ensures the quality of distance education programs and oversees compliance. Distance education degrees are valid for all government jobs, professional courses, and private sector acceptance. However, some organizations may prioritize candidates with regular degrees for certain roles due to perceptions of classroom rigor or networking opportunities. The UGC has encouraged universities to offer quality online programs, reducing the stigma associated with correspondence education. To enhance career prospects, consider pursuing correspondence programs from well-reputed institutions with strong alumni networks and industry connections. All the BEST for your Prosperous Future.

Hello sir, Good morning. My son got btech admission in private deemed university in vit and amritha Please advice, about certificate validity from deemed or deemed to be universities. Can we apply govt jobs or higher posts like group 1 with these certificates and qualification. Also, are we eligible to apply for mtech or other higher studies in govt universities. Please advice about chances to pursue higher studies in abroad as some experts are not recommending to join in deemed universities like vit, amritha, srm, etc. I need one more clarification about approval like aicte, mhd ugc, are these universities are having such approvals as mentioned. Also, kindly advice sbout certificate equivalence of deened or to be deemed universities when compare with other govt universities like iit, nit, autonomous, etc. Kindly suggest. Thank you for ur time.
Ans: The first answer is a very positive YES. Yes, he can apply for M.Tech also. Others are unnecessarily confusing you. Study from abroad will cost you 80 Lakhs to 1 Crore rupees if you send your son to USA for an MS degree. Germany is much cheaper. Yes all those deemed and deemed to be universities are approved by AICTE, UGC etc. Certificate is equally valid, but IITs and NITs are always having brand names. That all of us must accept. I did my B.E. from NIT- Durgapur in 1986. Please don't be misguided by improper people. I am always with you. Any doubt, contact me. I counselled thousands of students and recommended hundreds of students to USA, UK, Australia and Italy. Just be relaxed. You are in safe hand. Be in touch with me, follow me here and join me in LINKEDIN also. Don't worry. Everything will be fine. GOD BLESS YOUR SON. Regards. Professor............................:)
