According to the new set of regulations, which are set to be released next month universities will be able to offer diplomas and online degrees in the non-technical courses.
According to the sources, the new set of regulations is a part of government's attempt to increase the Gross Enrolment Ratio (GER) and reach the desired target of 20% by 2022.
When questioned about the concerns of quality and students evaluation, Javdekar said 'the ministry was not looking to replace brick-and-mortar education and that only educational institutions with either a grade of A+ and A++ awarded by the National Assessment and Accreditation Council or a score of 3.26 and above will be permitted to offer online courses.'
He further said that students will be evaluated through exams which will be based on the lines of GMAT exam.
