Students who are enrolled in Mumbai University’s distance education program were stranded when they came to know that the university they have enrolled in for distance education is not officially recognized for by the UGC for open and distance education. UGC is an official government body which provides recognition to the Open and Distance programs run in the country.
On October 3, 2018, the body released a list containing names of the institutions and universities which are recognized by the commission for the academic year 2018-19 and onwards for Open and Distance education.
