THE All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE), which was set up to regulate, monitor, plan and coordinate the technical education system in the country, has cautioned students to be wary of distance education institutions offering programmes in the open and distance learning (ODL) mode, which do not follow the stipulated norms and standards set by the joint committee of AICTE, University Grants Commission (UGC) and Distance Education Council (DEC).

For any programme run under ODL mode by deemed universities and others, an approval by UGC-AICTE-DEC Joint Committee is mandatory. Also note that Ministry of HRD has already announced (Gazette No. 44/March 1995) that all the qualifications awarded through Distance Education by the Universities are automatically recognised for the purpose of employment in central government offices and for all purposes of higher education, provided it has been approved by DEC.

Information related to Government of India approved off-campus(s), off-shore campus(s), constituent unit(s), institution(s) and programme(s) is available on the following websites: www.ugc.ac.in; www.dec.ac.in; and www.aicte-india.org

Here is the official notification by AICTE, which appeared in The Times Of India on July 2, 2010

No college has been approved to offer ME by Distance learning as the above notification clearly mentions. University18 is a private body.As on date it has the status of a coaching/ councelling centre. It has tie -ups with universities, whoose legal validity is right now under consideration of Hon Delhi High Court.

@ Jain Depu Sandeep. The ministry of HRD's view is clear. It does not approve of B.Tech Degrees by Distance Learning. But the notification by DEC has been stayed and there is a case pending in the delhi high court. If you are joining fresh, then wait for the verdict.
