Although MBA & MCA courses are not effected with this and universities can continue offering these courses without any problem. The ban will remain active until any further notice from UGC.

In the notification published by UGC, it is clearly mentioned that an action will be taken against any institution or university violate the ban. Institutions and Universities are asked to stop offering any engineering or technology courses from the year 2009-10. In 2010 and 2011, AICTE also notified its policy not to recognise the qualification acquired through distance education mode at diploma, bachelors and masters level in the field of engineering and technology.

We were expecting this since UGC take over the DEC. The issue has been raised many a times and actions have been taken. As we know UGC is working on new guidelines for distance education and this step could be a part of that. May be in future UGC come with some fresh guideline for such courses and then it become possible for institutions and universities to run such courses.

In the notification UGC didn't mentioned any name of university or institution offering such courses and we also don't know if UGC has sent a formal notification by email to universities and institutions which offering such courses.

As of now UGC don't have a comprehensive list of such institutions. There are many private universities, deemed to be universities and state universities offering such courses but UGC did not have the authority to stop them as many of them are not under the grant list of the higher education regulator

IGNOU Degree is Valid For Employment-High Court Delhi Allahabad

The High Court further said that saying the degree of no use will frustrate the purpose of creation of the university by the Parliament in 1995. High court also directed the Basic Education Board, Allahabad to consider the person who filled the petition for the post of trainee assistant teacher, if he meets all criteria.

We also welcome the decision of respected court. If government bodies will not recognize the degrees obtained through distance education then the purpose of setting up such university will not be served and thousands of people who obtained their degrees from such universities will go frustrated.
