When comparing online-degree providers, weigh these factors in order:

1. UGC-DEB entitlement — non-negotiable for a valid degree 2. NAAC / university accreditation — quality assurance 3. Brand and employer recognition — how the degree reads on a CV 4. International recognition (e.g. WES) — if you may study/work abroad 5. LMS quality, mentorship and support — completion and experience 6. Fees, EMI and scholarships — total cost of the degree
