Approval status by university
Amity University OnlineUGC-DEB ENTITLED
Our initial research flagged a discrepancy: this specific undergraduate program — "Bachelor of Arts (Journalism and Mass Communication)" — did not appear by name on the UGC-DEB's published "Entitled Online" list (AY 2025-26, dated 1 Oct 2025), which only listed the postgraduate "Master of Arts (Journalism & Mass Communication)" for Amity. This has since been directly verified and confirmed with the university, resolving the gap between the published list and the program's actual entitlement status.

Frequently asked questions
Is Amity's online BA JMC UGC approved?
Yes. An earlier check of the UGC-DEB's published Entitled Online list didn't show this specific undergraduate program by name — only Amity's postgraduate MA JMC appeared. That gap has since been directly verified and confirmed with the university.
What exactly was the discrepancy found for online BA JMC's UGC approval?
The UGC-DEB's published Entitled Online list (AY 2025-26, dated 1 Oct 2025) only named Amity's postgraduate 'Master of Arts (Journalism & Mass Communication)' — the undergraduate BA JMC program didn't appear by name. This has since been directly verified and confirmed with the university.
Should this past discrepancy make me doubt Amity's online BA JMC today?
No — the gap has been directly resolved with the university since our initial research. We're flagging the history for transparency about our verification process, not because a live concern remains.
