The Distance Education Bureau ID or DEB ID is an initiative by the University Grant Commission which is mandatory for every student enrolling into any distance education programme in universities. So if you are planning for IGNOU admission , creating an IGNOU DEB ID is compulsory at the time of admission. The UGC DEB ID is useful in case anyone plans to change their university where they can easily transfer their accumulated academic credits to the new university. This new ID also helps the universities keep a track on students especially at the time of assignment submission or result. If you have any queries on what is DEB ID , feel free to check this article I've mentioned. You are welcome to ask any doubts in the comments below. Hope this helps.

Hi there! Thanks for reaching out to Careers360 with your question about DEB ID.

DEB ID stands for Distance Education Bureau Identification. It's a unique ID assigned by the Distance Education Bureau of the University Grants Commission (UGC) to students enrolled in distance education programs.

To answer your question - no, not every student needs to create a DEB ID. It's only required for students pursuing distance education or online programs approved by the UGC-DEB. If you're studying in a regular on-campus program at a university, you don't need to worry about getting a DEB ID.

Is there a particular reason you're asking about this? Are you considering a distance education program? If so, I'd be happy to provide some more information or suggest some good options if you let me know what subject you're interested in.

Let me know if you have any other questions!
