"Central Government, as an Employer, had made its position clear in respect of academic qualifications; acquired through distance mode of education, for the purpose of employment under it, vide Gazette Notification No.44 dated March 1, 1995. A copy of this Gazette Notification is placed on the website.

It is clarified that the recognition of the qualification by Distance Education Council or All India Council for Teacher Education (AICTE) means the recognition of specific programme or degree and not merely the recognition or approval of the institution/university-offering programme through distance mode.
