Hello aspirant,

As per a recent order, released by the UGC, aspirants will no longer be allowed to pursue distance courses in Hotel Management and Real Estate. The step had been taken after suggestions that had been received from different regulatory bodies.

In accordance with the new order, all Open and Distance Learning (ODL) programmes in Real Estate and Hotel Management will no longer be recognised by UGC from the 2019-20 academic session.

Nonetheless, admissions which have been undertaken in the Open and Distance Learning programmes at the time of recognition will retain their recognition till the completion of the programme, even in cases where the university does not receive the recognition for additional years. However, in these cases, the universities should abide by the norms mentioned by the UGC and territorial jurisdictions.

Hope it helps you..

Best of luck..
