Some people here have posted queries about the online LLMs at Columbia, King's etc. Certainly, the courses and profs at such places are better than what one will get in India, while the costs are cheaper than going abroad. Working professionals also have flexibility. But the UGC notification means that such degrees will probably not be recognised here. The Indian government obviously wants to save foreign exchange and promote "Study in India", so they want to make people enrol for online courses in India. They would prefer if one enrols for an online LLM any Jindal or an NLU (those that offer online LLMs)
You may agree or disagree with the UGC's decision, but in view of this development I think people should only enrol for online LLMs in India. If you don't want to spend on Jindal, wait a few years and I am sure all the top NLUs will start one and offer courses at prices cheaper than Jindal.
