- 1
Check eligibility
Confirm you meet the qualifying-degree and marks requirement for the specific university and admission year.
- 2
Compare universities
Weigh entitlement status, total cost, specialisation availability and examination format side by side.
- 3
Select the programme
Choose the course and specialisation; some universities lock the specialisation at admission.
- 4
Submit the application
Register on the university's official admission portal and complete the application form.
- 5
Upload documents
Provide marksheets, certificates, identity proof and photographs for verification.
- 6
Complete admission
Pay the applicable instalment, receive the enrolment confirmation and LMS access.
Documents required
- Graduation marksheets (all years or semesters)
- Degree or provisional passing certificate
- Class 10 and 12 marksheets, where the university asks for them
- Government photo identity proof
- Passport-size photograph
- Signature specimen
- Category certificate, where a category benefit is claimed
- Subject-eligibility or equivalence proof, where the university requires a related undergraduate subject
Universities add their own requirements — a migration certificate, a gap-year affidavit or a declaration form, for example. The exact checklist for each university is published on its admission page and on the university-course pages linked below.
Intake windows and application routes by university
Online degrees in India run on two admission cycles a year — a January session and a July session — and each university closes its window on its own date. The practical risk is not eligibility but timing: register after a session closes and your degree completion slides by six months.

Online MA FAQs
It is a Master of Arts studied through a university's online mode, in a discipline such as English, Political Science, Public Administration, Psychology, Sociology, Economics, History, Journalism & Mass Communication or Education. Classes, study material and assessment are delivered digitally, and the degree is awarded by the university itself.
Validity depends on the university and on the regulatory entitlement or approval that applies to that specific programme for your admission period. Verify the status for the exact university, discipline and academic year before enrolling.
Recognition is programme-specific, not universal. Check the university's UGC entitlement status for the online mode, for the MA and discipline you want, and for your admission year, on the university's official page.
Two years across four semesters in most programmes. Some universities publish a maximum permissible duration that allows completion over a longer period.
A bachelor's degree from a recognised institution is the common requirement, in any discipline for most specialisations. A few universities prefer a related undergraduate subject for disciplines such as Psychology or Economics — check the specific programme's rule.
Fees are set by each university, so the range is wide and also varies by discipline. The university comparison on this page shows the published figure for each programme in our dataset, and marks anything we could not verify as "Not specified".
Not sure which Online MA to pick?
Compare the universities above on fee, entitlement status and specialisation, or talk to a counsellor who will walk you through the shortlist. No cost, no obligation.
