Yes, if the university is entitled by UGC to offer that programme online. Under the UGC (Open and Distance Learning Programmes and Online Programmes) Regulations, 2020, degrees earned online from entitled universities are treated as equivalent to regular degrees. Every programme listed on Gradify is from a UGC-entitled university.
ValidityIs an online degree valid for government jobs?+
Generally, yes. Recruiters such as UPSC, SSC and state public service commissions ask for a degree from a recognised university, and a UGC-entitled online degree meets that requirement. Always read the eligibility section of the specific job notification, as a few posts set extra conditions.
ValidityIs an online degree equal to a regular degree?+
Yes, for UGC-entitled programmes. UGC has clarified that degrees earned in online and distance mode from recognised universities are equivalent to degrees earned in regular mode, for jobs and higher studies.
ValidityDo companies accept online degrees?+
Most Indian employers accept UGC-entitled online degrees, and many working professionals use them for promotions or role changes. What matters most is the university’s recognition, your specialisation and your work experience.
ValidityIs an online degree valid abroad?+
It depends on the country and the employer or university abroad. Many accept degrees from recognised Indian universities, but some evaluation bodies and universities treat online degrees differently. If you plan to study or work abroad, check with that institution or credential evaluator before you enrol.
ValidityWhat is the difference between online and distance education?+
Online programmes run on a learning portal with recorded lectures, live sessions and online proctored exams. Distance (ODL) programmes rely mainly on study material, with exams usually held at centres. Both are regulated by UGC, and the university must be entitled for the mode you choose.

Total fees for the UGC-entitled online MBAs listed on Gradify range from about ₹62,200 to ₹2.25 lakh, depending on the university. Compare fees by university.
Fees & EMIWhich is the cheapest UGC-entitled online MBA?+
Among the universities on Gradify, Andhra University Online has the lowest listed MBA fee (₹62,200 total), followed by GLA University (₹1.05 lakh). The cheapest option is not always the best fit, so compare approvals, specialisations and support too. Compare side by side.
Fees & EMICan I pay in EMI or take an education loan?+
Many universities offer no-cost EMI through finance partners, subject to lender approval, and education loans can also be used for online degrees. Your counsellor can share the current EMI plans for your shortlist.

Usually a bachelor’s degree in any discipline from a recognised university, typically with 50% marks (45% for reserved categories). Exact criteria vary by university, so check the programme page or ask a counsellor.

Most online degree admissions are based on your previous marks, without a national entrance exam. A few universities may run their own test or interview for specific programmes.
Study & examsCan I do an online MBA while working?+
Yes. Online programmes are designed for working professionals, with recorded lectures you can watch anytime and live sessions usually held on weekends. See online MBA for working professionals.

CareersIs an online MBA worth it in India?+
It can be, especially if you want a promotion or a role change without leaving your job. The value depends on the university’s recognition, your specialisation and how you use the skills and network. Compare the fee against your career goal before you choose.
