[2022] 375+ UGC-Approved Online Degrees from India’s Top Universities
Since 2020, Indian Universities can offer online degrees. Now, they have grown to 375 degrees from 40+ universities.
In 2020, Indian Universities were for the first time able to offer fully online degrees. While this could be seen as a response to the pandemic (which increased interest in online education and Class Central), India’s online degrees were made possible by regulations approved by the University Grants Commission (UGC) back in 2018.
In the last 30 days, Class Central received more traffic than we did in 2019. These users were also more engaged.
One number in particular stands out to me – clicks to the provider (Go To Class button clicks on our course pages). They increased significantly, 4.4m vs 2.5m. pic.twitter.com/UGvcaBcEFj

In July 2020, when we first compiled this list, we found 50 degrees in total. Which in May 2021, grew to 250. Now this number has grown to 375 degrees from 40+ universities across India. @suparn and I (@dhawal) spent over 100+ hours tracking down the degrees, collecting their prices, and reading through UGC’s various regulations and notices.
UGC Online Degree Regulations
In India, the UGC is charged with “determining and maintaining standards of teaching, examination and research in universities”.
According to the UGC (Online Courses) Regulations, 2018, to be eligible to offer online degrees, a university must:
- Have existed for at least five years.
- Be accredited by the National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC).
- Be a top-100 university in India according to the National Institutional Ranking Framework (NIRF) for at least two of the last three years.
This changed in September 2020, when UGC published University Grants Commission (Open and Distance Learning Programmes and Online Programmes) Regulations, 2020.
Under the new regulations, UGC granted automatic approval to universities that satisfy certain criteria. Here’s the direct quote:
“Higher Educational Institutions having NAAC score 3.26 and above or having rank in Top-100 in University category of National Institutional Ranking Framework, at least twice in three preceding cycles (at the time of application), shall be permitted to start full-fledged Online programmes without prior approval of the UGC.”
SWAYAM
Before these regulations were introduced, students in India could complete up to 20% of their degree online via SWAYAM, India’s official MOOC platform. SWAYAM’s academic credit system is detailed in the framework introduced by UGC in mid-2016.
On March 25th, 2020, UGC published the University Grants Commission (Credit Framework for Online Learning Courses through Study Webs of Active Learning for Young Aspiring Minds) Regulations, 2021. Under this new regulation, UGC increased the number of credits that can be earned online to 40%.
Universities offering online degrees in India can offer them through SWAYAM or other learning management systems that fit certain criteria.
In December 2018, 3,800 students flocked to exam centers across India to sit their exams for courses they’d taken on SWAYAM. To learn more about SWAYAM and its credit system, check out Class Central’s comprehensive report.
Online Degrees in India
In 2020, UGC published a list of 37 programs from 7 Indian universities that have been approved for online delivery. IIT Madras, India’s top technical institute, also announced a stackable online BSc in Programming and Data Science for ~₹242,000 (~$3300) from IIT Madras.
According to IIT Madras, 7,116 students were admitted in its first cohort.
These programs range from certificates to master’s degrees. We researched each one to find details such as cost, duration, credits, and website.
Here’s a quick summary of the different type of programs:
| Program | Duration | Median Price |
| Certificate | 6 months | ₹3,000 (~$40) |
| Diploma | 1 year | ₹120,000 (~$1600) |
| Bachelors degree | 3 years | ₹90,000 (~$1200) |
| Masters degree | 2 years | ₹73,500 (~$980) |
The duration specified is the minimum time to complete the program.
At Class Central, we’re big fans of low-cost online degrees like Georgia Tech’s Online Master’s in Computer Science (OMSCS), which costs $7000.
But India’s new online degrees are priced lower than that. The most expensive ones, like IIT Madras’ BSc or Amity University’s MBA, cost half as much as Georgia Tech’s online degree. And the cheapest bachelor’s degree, IGNOU’s Bachelor of Tourism, costs ₹10,200 or about $135.
Most recently, O.P. Jindal Global University announced three new online degrees on Coursera. Two of them cost $6000, while an MBA in Business Analytics costs $7,500, making it the most expensive online degree offered by an Indian university.
Some of these prices are still too high for a large segment of the Indian population. But on a global scale, where many online degrees cost tens of thousands of dollars, they’re very affordable. Certain Indian universities like IITs and IIMs are also well known around the world. This makes me wonder if in the long term, India could become an exporter of higher education?

We will keep updating this article as new ones are announced. If you find something missing, let us know in the comments.

As of now, UGC approved HEI’s ranked with in top 100 according to the National Institutional Ranking Framework (NIRF) and those with NAAC “A” Grade or with a valid minimum score of 3.26 on a 4-point scale. But most of these universities are not yet ready with IT infrastructure required for this offering. IGNOU, JSS Academy of Higher Education, Bharati Vidya Peeth, D Y Patil Vidya Peeth are few universties from the list launched online courses.

Amity University is private University. It was established in 2005 by an Act of the State Legislature of Uttar Pradesh. The university is recognized by UGC under Section 22 of the UGC Act and accredited by the NAAC with grade ‘A+’.
However the laws and regulation aorund the university establishments and course approvals are subject to change and there are lot of other options for B.Com from Public State Universities to consider which are much better and safer in long term.

What do you recommend for my case, what should I do? is there any program suitable for me?

Falih, if you can pay exam fees and get to a testing center, you can earn a high school equivalency diploma or GED by examination. With a GED, you can enroll in a university.

If you have completed 12th certificate you can do a UG course and I can see you are keen on business management. There are many universities now offering online programmes. Check for their approval status in UGC DEB website and enroll. Online degrees are equivalent to on campus degrees.
Thanks

Hi,
I am from Bangladesh and I am over 15 years experienced in IT ( focusing on System, network and security). Although it doesn;t matter whether I got an academic degree or not as I have been taking vendor certification.
But it’s somewhat gives satisfaction to have a academic degree in the relevant field.
Hence, I’d like to take a course Bsc computer science or something like that, I saw IIT madras is offering online Bsc in DS. Hence, can anybody confirm me whether the course is valid and the university got the required affiliation.
Thank you.

Please suggest suitable course whether to do it in computer science or in marketing /management field.
Please guide.
Jagdish Seegolam
Most of the Universities listed above do not offer fully online master’s courses. On top of the costs of the courses mentioned do not reflect the reality.
Also, many Universities like Amity online hide too much vital information from potential students. For example they do not say that they do not provide supervisors for project works in the final year. Students have to look for their own supervisor.
Angus
It’d more appropriate to state tuitions in USD as for international students.
Suparn Patra
Since almost all the mentioned degrees are from Indian universities and currency is mostly in INR so we have listed it in INR.
For USD simply divide the price by 75 to get the approximate price in USD.
Btw, you may check https://www.classcentral.com/report/mooc-based-masters-degree/ ir do have prices in USD.

Hi, this is a great analysis. However, it currently includes only Tier 2/3 universities in India. It would be super useful to see the prices of UGC approved online degrees offered by the premiere schools in India like the IITs and IIMs.
Thanks
