Is Online M.Com UGC approved? Validity explained

Last reviewed: August 2026
Verified directly against the official UGC-DEB "Entitled Online" list (deb.ugc.ac.in) — a primary government source, not a university marketing claim.

Approval status by university

Manipal University JaipurUGC-DEB ENTITLED
Listed by exact name ("Master of Commerce (General)") under Manipal University, Rajasthan on the UGC-DEB Entitled Online 2025-26 list.

Listed by exact name under Sikkim Manipal University on the same list.
Amity University OnlineUGC-DEB ENTITLED
Important, real finding: Amity's M.Com (both Financial Management and Fintech specializations) is entitled under a DIFFERENT Amity legal entity — "Amity University, Uttar Pradesh" — than the entity that grants Amity's BBA, B.Com, BCA, MBA, and MCA ("Amity University, Rajasthan"). It's listed there by name as "Master of Commerce (Financial Management/ Financial Technology)." Neither of Amity's own M.Com program pages names which legal entity actually awards the degree — don't assume it's the same entity, or the same NAAC score, as Amity's other online programs.

Frequently asked questions

Is an online M.Com from MUJ, SMU, or Amity UGC approved?

Yes for all three, though Amity's M.Com is entitled under a different Amity legal entity (Amity University, Uttar Pradesh) than most of Amity's other online programs (Amity University, Rajasthan) — both are genuine UGC-DEB entities, but it's worth knowing they're not the same one.

Does Amity's M.Com share the same NAAC grade as Amity's MBA or MCA?

Not necessarily — since Amity's M.Com is entitled under a different legal entity (Amity University, Uttar Pradesh) than Amity's MBA/MCA/BBA (Amity University, Rajasthan), its NAAC accreditation should be checked separately rather than assumed to match.

Does the different legal entity affect the validity of Amity's online M.Com?

No — both 'Amity University, Rajasthan' and 'Amity University, Uttar Pradesh' are genuine, separately UGC-DEB entitled entities, so your degree's validity isn't affected either way.

Does Amity's own M.Com program page name which legal entity awards the degree?

No — neither of Amity's own M.Com program pages (Financial Management or Fintech) names which legal entity actually awards the degree, which is why this required independent research to confirm.
