The last date for submitting applications for the online and other courses proposed under Open and Distance Learning mode for the February-March session has been extended by the University Grants Commission till April 30, 2021.

UGC has also invited all the universities and higher education institutions who are offering the online courses for the current academic year to continue receiving online applications from the nominees and upload the admission details on the UGC DEB web-portal by May 15, 2021.
