When we talk about the values and acceptance of the degree, officially there are no differences between a distance mode degree and regular degree, but my observation is that common people or recruiters have the belief that a student from a regular course is having more value education than of the distance mode course. It is also true that we have never come across any advertisement either in government or for private sector mentioning that the candidate should have a degree/ master degree from regular program or from distance mode, only they do mention the required degree should be from recognized university except in one  recruitment of PG Teacher advertisement in one Army school application form, we have noticed that they have asked the candidate to fill-up whether they have pursued their study in regular mode or from distance mode.

In many cases, the education in distance mode has become boon for deserving and aspiring students community who wants to pursue their education despite of many obligation for attending regular courses. Also for those who are already in job, they can pursue their education in distance mode or in correspondence mode to get career growth and promotion in the job. The common trend of pursuing distance mode education is at post graduate level whether it is MA or MBA or some other courses. One frequent question arises regarding the eligibility to appearing for NET or SET examination for lectureship after post graduate degree in distance mode. As on today, every post graduate with minimum required percentage are eligible to appear for NET/SET irrespective of their mode of study.
