Online degree programs are a sunrise industry, bringing in a new era in India’s higher education landscape. Fueled by rapid digital adoption, shifting learner preferences, and evolving workforce demands, this sector is redefining how higher education is accessed and adopted. Online degrees are also getting strong recognition from employers/industry leaders, and academia alike.

4. How are online degree programs revolutionizing education in India, and what impact do they have on learners?
Online degree programs are transforming India’s education ecosystem by democratizing access to quality learning at scale. With internet penetration reaching over 55% and more than 800 million active users, learners from remote and underserved regions can also now access programs from top-tier universities. The National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 has also further given impetus to online degrees, promoting digital infrastructure and encouraging institutions to adopt flexible, multidisciplinary education models. These programs are not only cost-effective, often more affordable than on-campus alternatives, but also learner-centric, offering self-paced modules, real-time doubt resolution, and industry-relevant curricula. According to the ‘Internet in India Report 2024’ by IAMAI and Kantar, the country’s internet user base is projected to surpass 900 million by 2025, with rural areas accounting for a significant portion of this growth, hence enabling a huge TAM (Total Addressable Market) for online degrees. For learners, this revolution means enhanced employability, flexibility to balance work and study, and access to a global classroom with convenience. As employers increasingly accept online degrees, these programs are becoming a powerful equalizer, bridging skill gaps, boosting professional mobility, and laying the foundation for India’s future-ready, digital-first workforce.
