Online Degrees are as good as a regular degree provided you have completed it from a government-recognized university or institution. In India, the universities offering online courses are accredited by the National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC) and the University Grant Commission (UGC). These recognitions have increased the acceptance of online degrees among employers multiple times which is the ultimate goal of acquiring any degree.


As per a survey by the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) 2019, 91% of HR professionals have considered hiring a candidate with an accredited online degree. These statistics can be accounted for based on the improved realization among recruiters that online degrees are as high-quality as on-campus degrees. Moreover, the additional skills of time management and self-discipline of online learners make them get hired by recruiters of some top companies.

Yes, an online degree can hold significant value, particularly when earned from a reputable institution. Many employers recognize online degrees as equivalent to traditional degrees, especially when the program is accredited and the institution has a strong reputation. The key is the skills and knowledge gained through the program, along with the ability to demonstrate competencies relevant to the job market.  I hope this information is useful and clears your doubts, but if you still have any queries, you can visit College Vidya or connect with the counselor.
