Considering India’s target to achieve a GER of 35% by 2025, there was a need to allow more quality-driven institutes to harness the power of online learning. Changes in textbooks and syllabus cannot keep pace with the rate at which technology is evolving which makes online learning imperative and not just a catalyst in the fast-changing environment.
Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman announced in her Budget 2020 speech that the top 100 educational institutions in the National Institutional Ranking Framework (NIRF) will be offering full-fledged degree programmes online, the focus was on providing quality education across the spectrum, more specifically to the deprived sections of the society. UGC had floated the norms for online degrees and said universities that are accredited by the National Assessment and Accreditation Council with at least a score of 3.01 on a scale of 4, or those who have found a place in the top 100 list of the National Institutional Ranking Framework can apply for offering fully online programmes. Fully-online degrees are an extension of India’s larger plan to open up and liberalize higher education
What is Online degree
An online degree is an academic degree that can be earned primarily or entirely through the use of an Internet-connected computer, rather than attending college in a traditional campus setting. Improvements in technology, the increasing use of the Internet worldwide, and the need for people to have flexible school schedules while they are working have led to a proliferation of online colleges that award associate, bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral degrees.
Advantage of an online programme is that it democratises education, which means more people will now find access to good institutions. For many students, online degree courses are cost-effective and so can be very helpful for those who do not have the financial capability to study in expensive colleges. Online Learning is an ideal option to gear every learner’s career goals from their comfort zones without putting the future on hold.
Online degrees are treated at par with regular degrees. With many high-quality institutions now offering online degrees, employers are more positive than in the past and are accepting online degrees.
New technologies are spreading tentacles in growing job market so working professionals are expected to remain updated with the latest skills. Also, the affordability of the internet over the last few years has given birth and popularity to the non-traditional method of acquiring education through online degree programs. The online degree programs are crafted to suit the requirements of working professionals who want to enhance skills through time and cost-effective programs.
Some of the benefits of Online Degree programs are:

Online vs regular education
Obtaining degree online is more convenient than obtaining it by regularly going to campus for the same. Especially for people with jobs, families, and other commitments that make it difficult to move or maintain a regular schedule.
| Basis of comparison | Online Education | Regular/Traditional Degree |
| Flexibility | Online degrees allow one to study as per your convenience. This is ideal and beneficial if you have working professional and also have to maintain work life balance. | Lesser flexibility is there in case of traditional campus method as you have to follow the regular fixed schedule. |
| Price | Online degree will be priced at lower or same price as the on-campus version when it comes to tuition fees, but being able to complete it from home has one big advantage: fewer living expenses. | Regular degree in comparison of online degree is far more expensive to obtain as residential expenses are added in case you go for residential degree and also cost for regular degree is at higher side. |
| Choice | The adaptability of online degrees works both ways. You have full liberty to choose any course from all round the world irrespective of distance.
If you wish to study something niche then an online degree can be a great way to do so. |
You have to see all constraints to select the course. There is limitation in |
| Social life | Studying by yourself at home for hours on end can isolate you from another aspect of the university experience and making friends | A group environment can be very motivating, helping you see things from a different perspective or get help when you’re stuck. |
| Independence | One of the biggest things young people in particular miss out on by studying online degrees is the opportunity to move away from home. This might sound unimportant, but actually it forms what is, for many people, one of the most valuable parts of the university experience | Students who study abroad, in particular, learn life skills like adaptability, resilience and initiative that are difficult (though not impossible) to get when you’re attending lectures from your own home. To use an oft-quoted cliché, it pushes you out of your ‘comfort zone’. |
| Resources | There are some things you simply can’t study at home. Maybe you need specialist equipment, tools or materials to really become an expert on your chosen subject. | Universities have a host of top-notch resources for you to use that you typically can’t find off campus. |
