Can I pursue a distance course from a university which is barred from UGC but had got a high court stay order and is still UGC certified?

It is advisable to avoid it. It would be better to purse a course from a university that has recognition from UGC as this would help you in your career growth

There are some universities that provide degrees to students under the distance education programme which are considered illegal by UGC. So, think wisely.
