I Provisional Recognition

The Distance Education Council (DEC) gives provisional recognition to Universities/ Institutions who apply to DEC for offering programmes through distance education mode. Provisional recognition is accorded to Institutions that satisfy the minimum criteria prescribed by DEC for starting or for offering programmes in distance mode. Provisional recognition certifies or provides the authority to offer programmes in distance mode.

The DEC maintains that all programmes are to be approved by the statutory bodies of the university and also by other regulatory bodies in the country, wherever required. Further it is the responsibility of the Institution concerned to take any such approval.

Provisional Recognition is an interim measure provided to the institutions for a period of one year.

II Continuance of Provisional Recognition

Such Institutions which are given provisional recognition and subsequently apply to DEC for Regular recognition are given continuation of the recognition till the Expert Committee visits the Institution, and the decision is taken regarding its regular recognition. III Post Facto Recognition

Post facto recognition is accorded to ODL Institutions that were offering programmes in distance mode prior to the establishment of DEC and before the introduction of the Recognition Scheme by DEC in 2003. Post Facto recognition is accorded to such institutions who apply to DEC seeking post facto recognition. For such institutions, Post Facto recognition is accorded in view of the demand from their students and also from the employers in the light of the Gazette Notification No. 44 of the Govt. of India dated 1st March 1995. The Post Facto recognition is accorded to such institutions only from 1st March 1995 or from the date of commencement of Distance Education programmes which ever is later.

IV Regular Recognition

It is mandatory for all ODL Institutions to apply to DEC for regular recognition of their Institution as well as their programmes offered through distance mode. The regular recognition is valid for a minimum period of 3 years and a maximum period of 5 years.

V Territorial Jurisdiction

The Distance Education Council at its 35th Meeting held on 10th March, 2010 noted that the distance education and online education cannot have the Territorial jurisdiction. It was decided that in case of Central Universities and the State Universities, the Territorial Jurisdiction will be as per their Acts and Statutes for offering programmes through distance mode. The Territorial Jurisdiction in case of Deemed University will be as per UGC which mandates its prior approval for opening Centres/off Campus outside the Headquarters. The territorial jurisdiction in case of Private Institutions (other than Universities) will be as decided by the Joint Committee.

VI Study Centers

The Distance Education Council accords recognition to the Universities for offering programmes through distance mode and no separate recognition is accorded to study centres of any university. The DEC does not allow any study centres by the universities either directly or through franchise.
