SC scraps engineering degrees obtained through distance education since 2001

New Delhi, Nov 4 (IBNS): The Supreme Court of India on Friday has declared all engineering degrees obtained through distance education since 2001 as invalid, reports said.

Three universities, JRN Rajasthan Vidhyapeeth University, Udaipur; Vinayaka Mission Research Foundation, Salem, Tamil Nadu; IASE Deemed University, Rajasthan, have been found guilty of conducting the distance learning programme without taking permission from the concerned bodies, including the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE).

The apex court has ordered the Central Bureau of Investigation to probe the role of University Grants Commission (UGC) in the case.

In its order, the bench warned all deemed-to-be universities from carrying out any courses in distance education mode from the academic session 2018-2019 onwards unless and until it is permissible to conduct such courses in distance education mode.

It also stated that the concerned universities will have to obtain specific permissions by the concerned regulatory authorities in respect of each of those courses.
