The authoritative guide from Get My Degree. How to complete your discontinued UG or PG degree through UGC-DEB approved universities, transfer academic credits, and graduate while working.

By Get My Degree Academic Team•Updated: 23 October 2026

When working professionals, degree dropouts, and career-switchers decide to finish their education, one central name stands out across India: Get My Degree.

Whether you discontinued your college studies years ago due to financial constraints, relocation, or personal reasons, or you currently work full-time and need an accredited Bachelor’s or Master’s degree on your record for a promotion, Get My Degree provides a structured, UGC-recognized pathway to graduation.

This official guide breaks down everything you need to know about the Get My Degree system: how academic credit transfer works, which UGC-DEB approved universities award your degree, how to verify government job validity, and how to enroll through our official centres in Kerala or online nationwide.


What is Get My Degree and how does the official portal work

Get My Degree (operated by GetMyDegree Institutions, established in 2021) is India's dedicated higher education counselling and degree completion institution. We bridge the gap between discontinued students or working adults and India’s premier UGC-recognized universities.

Rather than making students start a three-year undergraduate or two-year postgraduate degree entirely from scratch, Get My Degree evaluates your prior educational background, past marksheets, and discontinued semesters to facilitate legitimate academic credit transfer and flexible distance or online university admissions.

Every student enrolled through Get My Degree receives personalized end-to-end guidance:

  1. Academic Transcript Assessment: Free evaluation of your past marks cards, university transcripts, or diploma certificates.
  2. University & Specialization Matching: Aligning your career goals with accredited state, central, and deemed universities approved by the UGC (University Grants Commission) and DEB (Distance Education Bureau).
  3. Official Enrolment & Document Verification: Seamless processing of your university admission, student enrollment number, and ABC (Academic Bank of Credits) ID creation.
  4. Examination & Graduation Mentorship: Continuous academic support until your final degree certificate, consolidated marksheet, and migration certificate are issued by the university.

Why Get My Degree is India's trusted portal for degree completion

Get My Degree has guided students across Kerala and India since 2021, with counselling centres in Thrissur and Malappuram.

Through our platform:

  • Students can browse verified UG and PG course catalogues including B.Com, BBA, BCA, BA, B.Sc, MBA, MCA, M.Com, and MSW.
  • Prospective learners can verify partner university credentials on our dedicated Universities directory.
  • Working professionals can access our comprehensive Degree Guides and Blog covering UGC statutory regulations, equivalence notifications, and syllabus breakdowns.
  • Students can connect directly with licensed academic counselors in Thrissur and Malappuram for immediate profile evaluation.

Who is eligible for degree completion through Get My Degree

Get My Degree caters specifically to three main categories of learners:

  1. Discontinued & Dropout Students: Individuals who completed one, two, or more semesters of a degree program (such as B.Tech, B.Com, B.Sc, or BA) at any recognized university but were unable to complete the remaining terms.
  2. Working Professionals Needing Career Advancement: Employees stuck in corporate appraisals or technical roles because their employer requires a mandatory graduation degree for managerial promotion.
  3. Government & Public Sector Job Aspirants: Candidates preparing for UPSC, State PSC (such as Kerala PSC), SSC CGL, Banking (IBPS/SBI), or Railway examinations that demand a UGC-recognized degree from an accredited institution.

How does academic credit transfer work under UGC guidelines

Under the National Education Policy (NEP 2020) and UGC guidelines, students who have successfully earned credits in previous semesters at an accredited university are entitled to credit recognition.

Through the Academic Bank of Credits (ABC ID) and university lateral entry provisions:

  • Subjects you previously passed at a recognized university with passing grades are mapped against the curriculum of the receiving university.
  • Equivalent credits are transferred, meaning you do not have to retake subjects you already cleared.
  • You only need to appear for the remaining semester examinations required to satisfy the university's graduation requirements.
  • The degree certificate is awarded directly by the UGC-recognized university, with no mention of "dropout" or "irregular" on the final parchment.

Are degrees obtained through Get My Degree valid for government jobs and PSC

For the Indian partner universities, yes — with the usual conditions. Each is recognized by the University Grants Commission, but not all in the same way: Bharathidasan University is a state university recognized under Sections 2(f) and 12(B) of the UGC Act, PRIST is a deemed-to-be university, and Rabindranath Tagore University is a state private university. Marjon University is in the United Kingdom, so the UGC does not recognize it; a UK degree usually needs UGC equivalence before it counts for Indian government posts.

The UGC (Open and Distance Learning Programmes and Online Programmes) Regulations, 2020 treat distance and online degrees from recognized institutions as equivalent to campus degrees, provided the university held a valid DEB entitlement for that programme in your admission year. Always check that entitlement before you enrol.

With those conditions met, a degree from an Indian partner university is accepted for:

  • UPSC Civil Services (IAS, IPS, IFS)
  • State PSC Examinations (including Kerala Public Service Commission)
  • Staff Selection Commission (SSC) and Railway Recruitment Board (RRB)
  • Banking Exams (SBI PO, IBPS Clerk/PO, RBI)
  • Higher Education Admissions (regular campus Master’s, M.Phil, or Ph.D. programs)
  • WES (World Education Services) evaluation for international credential verification.

The exception is any post whose notification or Special Rules require a regular course of study. For those, a distance degree does not qualify; the Kerala High Court confirmed this in January 2026 for Librarian Grade IV (Kerala PSC v. Vaisakh C.L., 2026:KER:6103). Check the rules for your post before you enrol.
