The University Grants Commission will henceforth consider “any national identity with photograph” for online learners from foreign countries who wish to secure admission in Indian universities under the e-VidyaBharati (tele education) project.
The online learners will be exempted from the mandatory requirement of passport.
The UGC has amended its Act to introduce the proviso. The regulations will be known as “University Grants Commission (Open and Distance Learning Programmes and Online Programmes) Second Amendment Regulations, 2022.”
