Match your prior qualification and subjects to the selected programme's entry rules. Confirm the duration, exit award, assessment and any practical work. For further study or employment, check the receiving institution's or employer's requirements rather than assuming equivalence from a similar title.
Mode and session: for a proposed university-level ODL or online award, use the UGC-DEB student precautions and prohibited-programme list. Do not assume that a course is allowed in that mode. Record the current notice URL, session, eligibility, total fee and practical requirements before payment; ask the institution to clarify missing details.
