The Accreditations or Approvals required by Indian Universities to start Online and distance learning programmes are: -
• University Grants Commission (UGC) Approval: Indian universities, whether traditional or open, need to obtain approval from the UGC to offer online courses. The UGC had issued specific regulations for open and distance learning, which also apply to online education. These regulations specified the norms and standards that institutions had to adhere to while offering online programs.
• Compliance with Distance Education Regulations: In addition to UGC regulations, universities offering online programs also had to comply with the Distance Education Bureau (DEB) regulations, which governed open and distance learning programs.
• Approval from AICTE: The AICTE primarily focuses on technical education, including engineering, management, pharmacy or applied sciences and Indian Universities specifically do not require AICTE approval to start online courses. Its role is to regulate and promote technical education in India. These regulations are mainly applied to traditional universities and institutions that offer online or distance education programs.
• Quality Assurance: Indian universities are required to maintain the quality and standards of education in online programs. This often involves regular assessment and accreditation by bodies like the National Board of Accreditation (NBA) or the National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC).
• Rankings: The National Institutional Ranking Framework (NIRF) is a ranking system for higher education institutions in India. It was launched by the Ministry of Education in 2015 to assess and rank Indian universities and colleges based on various parameters. NIRF rankings aim to provide prospective students and other stakeholders with valuable information about the quality and performance of educational institutions
