Whether UGC /DEB approved universities online mode of examination for Post Graduation is accepted by all states in India as compulsory or all states have their own level of recognitions except UGC/DEB

Ans: HI DRD,
After COVID, many of us have grown comfortable with working from home and online education. While there are numerous advantages to this shift, there are also some disadvantages. The current Indian government is promoting add-on online courses to regulate the curriculum, and they have established regulations through the UGC (University Grants Commission), which is a national body. If a course is recognized by the UGC, there shouldn't be any issues. However, it’s important to remember that knowledge and skills are crucial—simply obtaining a certificate is not enough; you must actively engage in the learning process.

So, to answer your question: YES.

Online postgraduate degrees that are recognized as equivalent to conventional degrees from UGC-approved universities (including those under its Distance Education Bureau) are generally accepted across all states in India for various purposes such as jobs and further education. This equivalency eliminates the need for state-specific recognition. A UGC-recognized online degree typically meets essential educational requirements.

The key requirement is that the university offering the online program must be UGC-recognized, and the course itself must not fall under prohibited categories, such as engineering or medicine, which cannot be offered in an online format. Therefore, you should verify that the specific postgraduate program you are interested in is permitted to be offered in an online mode

BEST WISHES.

Does Indian employers honor overseas free online certification or Diploma courses offered by international institutes for recruitment?
Ans: Hello,

First and foremost, thank you for getting in touch with us. As an answer to your query, I would like to tell you that the acceptance and recognition of overseas free online certification or diploma degrees earned from foreign institutions for the purpose of employment differs to a great extent throughout India. Remember, these certifications, if earned particularly from respected schools or universities or cover key skills, are valued by certain companies in India, who view them as beneficial enhancements to a candidate's qualifications. Nevertheless, not all businesses or industries will recognize these certifications.

The way Indian employers' perceive these credentials are heavily influenced by variables viz., the standing of the university that offers the certification, the particular knowledge or skills acquired, and the applicability of the certification to the job position. I would like to tell you that while online certifications earned abroad may be highly valued by certain companies, others might favor credentials that are more conventional or regionally recognized.

Although the significance of online certifications is gaining global recognition, the particular employer's viewpoint as well as the nature of the sector or industry under consideration, play a crucial role in deciding whether or not they are accepted in India's employment market. To determine the importance given to these qualifications, I would recommend that you conduct an extensive study on the business and industry you intend applying to.

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............................:)
