In recent times, online education has gained tremendous popularity, and the University Grants Commission (UGC) has taken steps to make it more accessible and efficient. However, it's important to note that only UGC-approved universities are allowed to offer education in the online and distance modes. These universities must meet certain quality standards to ensure that students receive a high-quality education.

The UGC has made amendments to streamline the process and ensure that universities adhere to specific provisions. These provisions include:

  • Entitlement and Eligibility Criteria of the University: Universities must meet certain criteria to be eligible to offer online programs.

  • Permissibility of Proposed Programs: The UGC checks whether the programs proposed for online delivery are suitable for this mode of education.

  • Adherence to UGC Notifications: Universities must follow UGC notifications, including the 2014 Degree Specification and its amendments.

  • Regulatory Authority Approval: If required, universities must obtain prior approval from the relevant regulatory authority.

Universities are only entitled to offer online programs if they meet certain criteria, including compliance with NAAC and NIRF rankings as per the University Grants Commission (Open and Distance Learning Programmes and Online Programmes) Regulations of 2020 and its amendments.

Any university wishing to start or discontinue online and distance programs must inform the UGC. Even if a program is discontinued, enrolled students must be allowed to complete their studies according to the regulations outlined in the University Grants Commission (Open and Distance Learning Programmes and Online Programmes) Regulations of 2020 and its subsequent amendments.

In essence, these regulations are in place to ensure that online education maintains a high standard of quality, and only UGC-approved universities are permitted to provide such programs. This approach aims to safeguard the interests of students and promote the credibility of online education.
