Students often come across terms such as UGC recognition, UGC-DEB entitlement and accreditation while researching universities.
These terms serve different purposes. UGC-DEB relates specifically to the regulatory framework and eligibility for offering Online and ODL programmes, while accreditation evaluates aspects of an institution under the relevant accreditation framework.
Before admission, students should understand both the university’s status and the specific programme’s eligibility.

ShikshaPaath Tip: Don’t just check the university. Check the programme and mode of delivery too.
