List of Universities/Institutions approved by Distance Education Council (As on 26/2/2009)

* DEC in its 28th meeting held on 23.03.2007 had taken a decision to replace earlier practice of approval of programmes with that of institutional recognition. Therefore, the DEC does not give the approval to programmes but institutions and their programmes that are approved by statutory bodies of the university. In case of technical/professional programmes offered by them, approval from the concerned apex/regulatory bodies in the country is required to be obtained for which responsibility vests with the university concerned
S.No University / Institute Name Level of Approval Period of Approval Whether ex-post facto approval given if Yes, period of approval / Continuation of Recognition
