Here's what you need to do to confirm:
1. Check the UGC website: The official UGC website is the definitive source. Search their database for Vinayaka Missions University and specifically look for whether they recognize their correspondence B.Tech program. Don't rely on third-party websites or university claims alone.
2. Contact the university directly: Ask the university's admissions or registrar's office for official documentation proving UGC recognition *for their correspondence B.Tech program specifically*. A general statement of university recognition isn't sufficient.
3. Check AICTE (All India Council for Technical Education): While UGC recognition is important for general academic acceptance, AICTE approval is critical for engineering degrees in India. Confirm if the correspondence B.Tech program has AICTE approval.
Regarding eligibility for jobs and further studies:
Even with UGC and AICTE recognition, the acceptability of a correspondence degree can vary:
* Some employers may prefer regular B.Tech degrees: Many companies prioritize candidates with full-time, on-campus education.
* Further studies: While some universities may accept a correspondence B.Tech for postgraduate admission, others may not. Always check the specific requirements of the university you plan to apply to.
In short: Don't assume anything. Thoroughly investigate the university's recognition status from the official sources (UGC and AICTE websites) and contact the university directly before enrolling in their correspondence B.Tech program. This will save you from potential problems with job applications or further studies later on.
