Is LLM through distance learning recognised by UGC, DEB and BCI ? Also, is this LLM valid for a lecturer job and M Phil?

Quick Summary

This discussion explores the recognition and validity of LLM degrees obtained through distance education in India. While some universities offer distance LLM programmes, it's generally not recognised by UGC, DEB, or BCI for further academic pursuits like M.Phil or for lecturer positions. Distance LLMs are primarily for personal knowledge enhancement rather than career advancement in academia.

Yes. Some universities are providing Distance Education for LLM, for ex: AU, Visakhapatnam.

LL.M earned through distance mode is not considered for further studies nor for any faculty position by the Indian universities. It is for those who only want to enhance their knowledge, that's all! If you are planning for an academic career, please go for full time LL.M.
