Because of recent issues of unrecognized university admitting students, UGC introduced the standard admission procedure to safeguard student's future.

Yes, a DEB-ID is mandatory for all students (except foreign students) seeking admission to online and distance courses.

Students must register first on the UGC-DEB official website and create a unique DEB-ID using their Academic Bank of Credit ID. Further admission process remains the same.

On June 25, The University Grants Commission introduced a new admission process for students seeking admission in online/distance courses. This change will be effective from Sep 2024 enhancing transparency in the admission process.
