I had posted a relevant article earlier on my blog, but repeatedly I have been getting query on this subject from people. I thought to produce it with concrete evidence. 

I want you to read my following article before reading this article (Please click)

Also, please click on following link too

Above two articles provide lot of required information and clarity on validity of distance education engineering, hotel management and architect programmes. 

Many private and deemed universities and few private degree selling agents of such private and deemed universities are openly selling engineering degrees. If you have read my blog multiple times and well, you must have realised now that there are 4 types of universities and out of that central universities are most reputed and valuable. Most corrupts and worst are private universities. Many students, including those pursuing full time courses from these private and deemed universities (private deemed universities) suffer a lot. They do not get recognition, they do not get placements and they do not become eligible for higher studies and job in India and abroad. It is their loss of money, time and they go under mental harassment from these private and private deemed universities. I have exposed these institutes time  to time. 

Now, let me clarify about these private and deemed universities offering distance learning engineering programmes. They are advertising through their agents, they are advertising on so called education websites such as India education, Shiksha, HT and so on. These are media run websites with the motive of making profit through advertisement. They never do due diligence before accepting advertisement of such institutes. 

I hope above statement makes it very clear. AICTE does not recognize above mentioned distance learning programme except MBA and MCA. Further, even though AICTE recognize distance MBA and MCA, they must be awarded as per other specified conditions including taking prior separate approval from AICTE, following territorial jurisdiction, taking all the exams in the campus only in case of private and deemed university and so on. 

I a,m sure, you must have few question after reading this article. I'll try my level best to answer those queries.

Now lets move to few questions and answers to provide you clarity

Yes. If you have completed it by 2009 then only you are eligible. Only following programmes had AICTE and DEC approval

B. Tech. in Civil Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical & Electronics Engineering, Electronics & Communication Engineering, Computer Science & Engineering 

2. Which other distance learning BE/ B.Tech are recognized then and under which conditions?

B. Tech. (Chemical Engineering)  BE in Civil Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical & Electronic Engineering, Electronics & Communications Engineering

Diploma in Power generation engineering 

Diploma in Power transmission engineering  

Birla Institute of Technology & Sciences Pilani

M.E. (Collaborative) – Industrial Development, Industrial Production, Project Engineering 

 MVS– Computer Operations & Applications, Information Management, Footwear Technology, Physician Assistant, Office Management 

 B.S. in – Pharmacy Operations, Technological Operations, Industrial Management, Engineering Technology, Information Systems, Process Engineering, Engineering & Industrial Technology, Optometry, Physician Assistant, Power Engineering, Nautical Sciences, Industrial Engineering & Technology, Manufacturing Engineering, Marine Engineering, Ophthalmic Assistant, Nautical Technology, Engineering Design 

 First Level Diploma in Computer  Applications, Instrument Servicing & Maintenance, Workshop Technology, Footwear Technology, Nautical Sciences 

 M.Sc. (Tech.)– Pharmaceutical Chemistry 

 M.S. in – Computer, Electronics & Control, Pharmacy Operations, Software Systems, Systems & Information, Technological Operations, Science & Technology, Computer Science, Pharmacy Operations, Physical Sciences, Electronic Sciences, Engineering Management, Habitat Technology, Life Sciences, Design Engineering, Management Systems, Biomedical Sciences, Industrial Production & Management, Consultancy Management, Medical Laboratory Technology, Consciousness Studies, Software Engineering, Micro-electronics, Quality Management, Manufacturing Management, Chemical Technology, e-Business, Pharmaceutical Operations and Management, Telecommunications and Software Engineering, Embedded Systems, Mechanical Systems Design, Science Communication, Systems Engineering, Pharmaceutics, Educational System Management

B.Tech

Diploma in engineering

Diploma in architecture

Bachelor of Architect

The condition was, they cannot offer any course beyond 2009. All the course, even if any one of the above university is offering after 2009 stands invalid.

I got the point. Now KSOU, RVD University (Janardan Rai Nagar Rajasthan Vidyapeeth University), IASE deemed university, Shobhit University, Technoglobal University, Manav Bharati University, EIILM University, CMJ University, C V Raman University, Chhatisgarh University, Swami Vivekanand University, Shridhar University  etc. are offering me quick engineering degree. Are they valid?

No, they are mostly fake and being sold with the nexus of the university officials. Out of these, few universities already shut down their shop or working low profile now. Avoid any such degree. You may be getting email from them providing easy degree, but you my lose your time and money both. 

BITS is a very reputed institute, but it also want to make money. Their programmes do not have AICTE as well as DEB approval after 2010 hence any such degrees are not recognized. You cannot bank upon this degree for higher education and public sector job, few universities may not accept the degree too, however, if you are working in a private sector and looking for a tag of a reputed institute, you may pursue it. Here is the transcript from one of my blog reader, who after a lot of research finally joined BITS Pilani.
