As per the regulation circulated by the University Grants Commission (UGC) an online and distance degree holds the same value and recognition as a regular degree program and is completely valid for private and government job opportunities.

However, a student is advised to check the approvals and accreditations of an online university before enrolling in it.

Yes, online university courses are normally accepted in the government and private employment, though, of course, the degree must be obtained at a well-known and registered university. In India, there exists an institution called the UGC (University Grants Commission) that verifies whether the university or the courses are legitimate. In case the online degree is from a UGC-recognized university, that too is deemed just as good as a classroom degree.


As an example, in case one wishes to appear in a government exam, such as UPSC, or wishes to take up employment in a private company, then a UGC approved online degree is perfectly acceptable. But, it is necessary to ensure that the course will be associated with the job, and the university should be credible. Therefore, prior to enrolling in an online course, it is good to confirm that the university is accredited and whether the course will be useful in the type of employment you desire in the future.

An online university degree can be valid for both government and private jobs, provided the degree is from an accredited institution. In many cases, government jobs require a degree from a recognized university, so graduates of accredited online programs are typically eligible to apply. However, it’s crucial to check the specific requirements of the job or agency you are interested in, as some may have preferences for traditional degrees or additional assessments. 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.

An online university degree is valid for both government and non-government jobs in India, but only subject to the fact that it is by a university that has been approved and recognized, together with the UGC and where it is applicable; the Distance Education Bureau. The online degrees are taken by the main government as equal to usual degrees when it comes to providing employment, such as on taking competitive tests like UPSC and SSC. Online degrees from legitimate institutions are also welcomed by most governments.


In the corporate world, it is commonplace to find employers accepting online degrees awarded by well-known and recognized institutions of higher learning, unlike in the past where the form of study did not authorize any employment depending on whether it was done online, in a distance learning mode or even in the traditional form of learning.
