Questions and Myths often confuse students before taking admission. We have found and answered the top 8 most frequently asked questions related to Distance & online universities, just for you.
In the long run, do online university degrees have same value similar to a regular one that individuals receive from traditional universities? This is often the question people ask before applying to online universities. It is not hard to find the answer to their question, yes, online universities do offer an online degree program, but only if the university holds the right accreditation. Consequently, online university degrees have exactly the same reputation as the traditional ones.
Both Government and private organizations can offer good jobs to individuals with online university degrees. Having an online university degree is valued at the same level as a regular degree and can thus qualify individuals for high profile jobs with handsome salaries in startups and large corporations.
Those wondering whether the words “online” will appear on their degrees should know that they will. It makes no difference whether the degree has the word online on it or not, and it has the same value as any other degree.
Online Universities are surrounded by myths. It’s stated that online universities are not worth the time and effort, while another myth claims that they don’t have placement cells. This kind of rhetoric is based on false assumptions. As with regular universities, online universities have devoted placement cells, highly educated and trained professors, LMS, quality education, alumni connections, recorded lecture libraries, value degrees, popper approvals, and more. Education through online means is similar to education through regular means, only the way in which the information is delivered is different.
In the Era of the “New Normal”, this mode of education is taking on new meanings. Hence, every new approach comes with a lot of confusion and misperceptions. To clarify this one doubt, we have decided to discuss the differences between online education and distance education today.Â
The three primary differences are listed below.
- Approvals Required : Distance education is approved by the UGC-DEB, whereas online education is accredited by the NAAC.
- Examining Mode : In Online Education, both studies and exams are conducted online; in Distance Education, exams are conducted at the university center.
- Difference in the LMS: Online education comes with all the advantages, including live lectures and assignments, which are not available in distance education.
With online education, approvals play a vital role. Without the proper approvals (UGC-DEB, NAAC, etc), a university is just a fake and of no value. Neither will it provide quality education, an accepted online degree, the appropriate skills, and the benefits needed to achieve great heights in their careers.
It is not necessary for individuals to obtain any additional approvals in order to complete their higher education from abroad or to find employment there. The university must be approved by the DEB and provide a recommendation letter from the AIU.
Students register for online universities by visiting the university’s official website/portal, filling out the registration form with the correct information, and paying the enrollment fee. Indian Institute of Correspondence Education services are provided free of charge and students do not have to pay any fee or charge to use them. The University’s official website/portal is the place where the registration fee should be paid by students.
