The DEC is a statutory body under the Ministry of Human Resource Development, Government of India, that accredits distance education institutions and courses offered by them. Institutions seeking DEC accreditation must meet certain quality standards and follow specific guidelines and regulations set by the council.
As RVDU has not yet received DEC certification, it is not recognized by the University Grants Commission (UGC) of India as a valid university. This means that degrees awarded by RVDU may not be recognized by employers or other educational institutions in India or abroad.
Students who are considering enrolling in RVDU for a BTech degree should carefully consider the university's accreditation status and the potential impact it may have on their future career prospects. It is advisable to research and compare different universities and courses before making a decision about where to study.
