What Is DEB-ID?

Students planning admission in an Online or Open and Distance Learning (ODL) programme should understand the UGC-DEB learner-registration process. One of its key requirements is the DEB-ID.

DEB-ID Is Part of the UGC-DEB Learner Process

The official UGC-DEB portal states that learners seeking admission in ODL or Online programmes must create a DEB-ID. Students should still separately verify the exact HEI, programme, mode and academic session.
