Graphic Era University Online, Graphic Era Deemed to be University: Latest Update 2025

The University Grants Commission (UGC) has introduced a new admission process for students enrolling in Open and Distance Learning (ODL) and online programs.

• All candidates must register on the UGC Distance Education Bureau (DEB) web portal, which will generate a unique DEB-ID for each applicant.
• This decision follows the UGC's 581st meeting on June 25, where it was found that some institutions admitted students into unrecognized ODL and online programs, putting students' futures at risk.
• The UGC has urged all higher education institutions to adopt this new process and actively promote it to prospective learners.
