Is M.Tech Distance Learning Valid?

M.Tech distance learning is pursuing a master of technology degree in distance mode of education. In distance learning, students have the facility to study remotely on their own without visiting campus for lectures. In M.Tech distance learning students receive study materials either online or printed so that they can study at their own pace. This course provides flexibility to students, people who have other commitments can pursue this course. However, M.Tech distance education is not a valid course because it is a technical degree therefore it cannot be delivered in online or distance mode as it is not approved by the Supreme Court, University Grants Commission (UGC), and All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE). Instead of this professionals or students who have other commitments like jobs can pursue this degree as M.Tech for working professionals or M.Tech in flexible timing.
