electronic payment. In case the fees need to be refunded (for a reason of University not

relatives who may have earlier taken such programs earlier. The University wishes
to encourage the students to take soft copies of the study material and encourage
the students to use the pre-owned books for conservation of trees which are crucial
to preservation of environment. The amount of the discount will be shown on the
screen while filling up the online application form. You are urged to choose option
to this effect while filling the online application form.
After completing the typing of all the details asked by the system, you will be prompted
to upload scanned documents to the system as per the details submitted by you.

payment (debit card or credit card or MMID or internet banking). Please see our booklet
on how to make payment online available on the website.
In case you do not have electronic payment methods available to you, chose the option of
“Electronic Challan” on the system. You can print a Payment Deposit Slip and after two
working days go to the branch of SBI or other banks mentioned in the website and pay
the fees by cash. Remember to check that the transaction number is written at the
appropriate places in clear and legible handwriting.

University Grants Commission Resolution (2004)
Fl-52/2000(CPP-II) '
The Registrar / Director
Of all the Indian Universities
(Deemed, State, Central Universities /
Institutions of National importance)
5 MAY 2004
Subject: Recognition of Degrees awarded by Open Universities.
Sir/Madam,
There are a number of open Universities in the country offering various degrees/diploma through the mode of non-formal
education. The Open Universities have been established in the country by an Act of Parliament or State Legislature in
accordance with the provisions contained in Section 2(f) of University Grants Commission Act, 1956. These universities are,
therefore, empowered to award degrees in terms of Section 22(1) of the UGC Act, 1956.
A circular was earlier issued vide UGC letter N.F.I-8/92(CPP) dated February, 1992 mentioning that the Certificate, Diplomas and
Degrees awarded by Indira Gandhi National Open University are to be treated equivalent to the corresponding awards of the
Universities in the country.
Attention is further invited to UGC circular No.Fl-25/93(CPP-II) dated 28th July, 1993 (copy
enclosed) for recognition of degrees and diplomas as well as transfer of credit for courses successfully completed by learners
between the two types of universities so that the mobility of learners from Open University stream to traditional Universities is
ensured without any difficulty.
The UGC has specified the nomenclature of degrees under Section 22(3) of the UGC Act, 1956 to ensure mandatory requirements
viz. minimum essential academic inputs required for awarding such degrees. A copy of Gazette Notification regarding specification
of degrees issued vides No.l-52/97(CPP-II) dated 31st January 2004 is enclosed. The details are also given in UGC Web site:
www.ugc.ac.in
May, I therefore request you to treat the Degrees / Diploma / Certificates awarded by the
Open Universities in conformity with the UGC notification on Specification of Degrees as
equivalent to the corresponding awards of the traditional Universities in the country.
Yours faithfully
(Dr. Mrs. Pankaj Mittal)
