Know what is the new guideline of UGC for students?

The Covid pandemic changed the education system across the world. During the Corona period, when schools and colleges were closed in India, it became difficult for students to get an education. The online study became the only way for students to continue higher education. Thousands of students adopted online education instead of wasting one or two years of their time. As a result, it was seen that many types of programs started being conducted online. But now some of these courses have been banned.

UGC warning!

UGC has advised students to exercise caution before enrolling in distance learning (ODL) and online learning (OL) courses. Some guidelines have also been issued. To enroll in distance learning and online learning courses, the first and most important thing is to check the affiliation of the Higher Educational Institute (HEI) from which you want to do the course. There are two ways to check recognition: Is the institution recognized by the government of India? Is the institute allowed to conduct distance learning and online learning courses? Keep in mind that not all recognized institutions offer online courses. You can visit the UGC website (ugc.gov.in) to check whether your chosen college or university is recognized and allowed to offer distance learning and online learning.

Check by visiting the college website

Before enrolling in distance learning and online learning courses, students should carefully read all the information on the website of the university to which they want to be admitted. UGC says that all recognized colleges and universities must upload some important documents on their website. Like- application given to UGC, affidavit, government approval, regulatory approval, etc. The government has not permitted some institutions to conduct distance learning and online learning courses. Such institutions have been kept in the category of 'no admission' institutions.
