University Grants Commission has recognized 14 new Higher
Education Institutes (HEIs) that can provide courses through distance
education. This list is in addition to the 82 institutes that were recognized
by the UGC for providing distance education in May this year.
Earlier Distance Education Council was the regulator of Distance
Education programmes. Department of
Higher Education, Ministry of Human Resource Development, dissolved the
Distance Education Council in December 2012 and transferred regulatory
functions to the University Grants Commission. A state-wise list of these 14 new
higher education institutes and the courses that have received recognition from
the UGC can be accessed through this link: http://bit.ly/2Teu3Fh
