  • Valid for government jobs and competitive exams
  • Accepted for higher study: master's, PhD and UGC-NET
  • The same degree name as the on-campus programme
  • Many are WES-evaluable for jobs and study abroad

Questions parents ask

Will employers take it seriously?

A UGC-entitled online degree has the same legal standing as a regular one. Employers and government recruiters look at the university's recognition, not how classes were delivered.

Is it valid for government jobs?

Yes. UPSC, SSC, banking and state exams accept degrees from UGC-entitled universities. Every Indian university we list can be checked at deb.ugc.ac.in.

Is the fee payment safe?

You pay the university directly on its official portal, never into a personal account. Our help is free, and the fee is the same as applying yourself.

Can they study alongside a job?

Yes. Classes are recorded and live sessions are usually held outside office hours, so students can work, prepare for exams or help with a family business.

Before you choose

Is an online degree valid in India?

Yes. An online degree from a university entitled by UGC-DEB is treated as equivalent to a regular degree for jobs, government exams and higher study. Each university card on Gradonline shows its UGC-DEB status, and you can check any Indian university yourself at deb.ugc.ac.in.

Will you tell me if a cheaper university is better for me?

Yes. We recommend by fit: budget, goal and recognition. If a lower-fee university gives you the same outcome, we say so, and we will tell you if online study isn't right for you at all.

Do online degrees work for jobs abroad?

Many UGC-entitled online degrees can be evaluated by WES, and foreign online MBAs award the same degree as on campus. Check the university's details page for its WES status.

What happens after I share my number?

Our team sends your shortlist with exact fees and EMI options on WhatsApp, usually the same day. You decide if and where to apply.
