UGC has invited applications from eligible universities and institutions to offer ODL and online programmes for the 2026-27 academic year. Approved courses will begin from August 2026 onwards.
The University Grants Commission (UGC) has invited fresh applications from eligible higher educational institutions seeking recognition to offer programmes through Open and Distance Learning (ODL) mode and online mode for the academic year 2026-27. The courses approved under this cycle will begin from the academic session starting in August 2026 and onwards.
The announcement has been made through a public notice issued by the UGC. Institutions planning to start or continue distance and online programmes will have to apply through the official portal of the Distance Education Bureau (DEB).
The move is expected to benefit universities looking to expand flexible learning opportunities for students who may not be able to attend regular classroom programmes.
