Hello,

Yes, As per the current rules and regulation of UGC (University Grants Commission), the student can now do two degree courses at the same time which is applicable for a regular course as well as a distance course.

This is such a welcome move. For all practical purposes, even an engineering student can now pursue a degree in economics or any other subject for that matter. UGC has approved a proposal to allow students to pursue two degree programme at the same time. One of the degrees has to be in the regular mode and the other either in open and distance learning or online. A student can pursue two degrees in different streams as well as from different institutions.

All the best!

Hope it will help!

Thank you!
