UGC means University Grant Commission. As its name suggest, that its is an educational institution (under the MHRD) which grants the permission to university to conducts its courses. No university in India has the right to be operational unless they get a valid certificate from UGC. UGC only gives a certificate to validate the university. Now, coming on to another one. DCE is Distance Education Council (under the MHRD). It is consistent with the duty of the university that takes all such steps as it may seem fit for the promotion of the open system and distance education systems. For an IT course, remember one thing; there is not a single college in India which offers you a certificate of B.Tech or M.Tech in IT course or computer Science. If they are offering, its fake. Your university should be recognised from UGC and your course should be approved from AICTE (All India Council of Technical Education). Otherwise, you can never get a job in any big company and may have negative consequences for your degree.
