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, online degrees do hold real value, especially if you're someone juggling work, family, or other responsibilities. You must choose a program from a recognized and accredited university. You need to check approvals like UGC-DEB, AICTE, or international accreditations like AACSB, AMBA, and EQUIS before getting admissions. These ensure your degree is not just valid, but respected globally.


The thing that matters most is how relevant the course is to your career and how well it helps you grow. If you’re serious about upskilling without putting your life on hold, a good online degree can be just as powerful as a traditional one.

The three major differences between distance and online education include:

  1. Online education involves real-time or recorded sessions where students communicate with the teacher in real-time, whereas distance education involves minimal interactions, and students attend physical classes
  2. Online learning utilises online written materials and assessment that can be delivered through the internet, whereas distance study is often through actual material supplied by post.
  3. With online education, assessment is usually done online, and there will be provision of resources at once, but distance education could have assignments handed in offline or at local centres, where there will be less immediate teaching and more self-pacing.

Online degree programs hold the same value, image, and reputation as offline and regular degree programs. As per the UGC guidelines, students pursuing an online degree from a well-accredited institution, that degree will be considered valid and will hold value in the industry and market. 


As per the skills and knowledge, students are provided with the same skills, concepts, learning, and modes similar in the offline degree. Along with this, the profitable point of the program is that students can pursue the program from their comfort zone and are provided with the best live learning experience.

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.
