Hi

Along with your regular BA you can do another degree in distance mode as  UGC has given its approval that one can go for pursuing two courses at the same time, the only condition is that one cannot pursue both these courses in regular mode i.e for both the courses to be legal, one  course can be in regular mode and other course in distance mode from Open University or online but it  cannot be BE/Btech because BE/Btech is a technical degree and as per AICTE now it cannot be offered in distance mode.

For example,

Earlier IGNOU which is the most reputed open university in India used to offer BE/Btech  but then it stopped as now AICTE doesn't recognises distance BE/Btech as valid.

For this you can refer to our page the link for which is given below

In short,

Along with your BA regular you can definitely pursue one more degree in distance mode from an Open University but you need to choose degrees other than BE/ B tech in distance mode.

Thank you
