Degrees/diplomas/certificates awarded through Open and Distance Learning mode by Universities established by an Act of Parliament/State Legislature, or Institutions Deemed to be Universities, stand automatically recognized provided they are approved by the Distance Education Bureau, University Grants Commission.

Document Verification (DV) will be conducted by the User Departments/Organizations after declaration of the final result. Candidates must produce relevant certificates such as Mark sheets and Provisional Certificates as proof of having acquired the minimum educational qualification on or before the stipulated date.

Candidates who can prove that the result of the qualifying examination was declared on or before the cut-off date will also be considered to meet the educational qualification. Mere processing of the result by the Board by the crucial cut-off date does not fulfill the EQ requirement.
