VERDICT
IASE had limited distance recognition and no permission for study centres or affiliation
Any IASE distance degree delivered through a study centre or franchise falls outside what UGC-DEB says was permitted. Individual degrees must still be verified with IASE.
Scope: Based only on UGC-DEB RTI reply F.No. 1-1046/2026(RIA)/175607 and its enclosures. It is not a ruling on any individual degree and alleges no criminal conduct.
