Earning an international degree online from India

Guidevera lists 5 international and premium online programs that Indian students and working professionals can join without moving abroad, from executive programs at IIM Kozhikode to online degrees from universities in Canada, the USA, Switzerland and Europe.

An international online degree can strengthen your profile for global roles and multinational employers. Before you enrol, check the university's accreditation and whether the degree will be accepted for your specific goal in India, such as a government job or further study.

Check accreditation

Look for recognised accreditation in the university's home country and for the business or technical program itself (for example ACBSP or AACSB for business schools).

Know how it is recognised in India

Indian government jobs and some higher-study routes may need an AIU equivalence certificate, which is generally not issued for foreign degrees earned online or by distance. Private employers usually judge the university and its accreditation.

Plan for fees in foreign currency

Fees are often quoted in USD, EUR or CAD, so the rupee cost can change. Ask about instalment plans and any fees for exams or graduation.

Check time zones and live sessions

Find out when live classes and exams are held in Indian time, and how much of the program is self-paced.
