Is the Subharti distance BLIS valid?
Yes — where your requirement asks for a BLIS from a recognised university, provided the BLIS's distance entitlement covers your session. Here is how to confirm it, and where it counts.

The short answer
The BLIS is awarded by Swami Vivekanand Subharti University, which states its UGC recognition on its accreditation page and is NAAC A accredited. Taken by distance, the programme also needs entitlement from the UGC's Distance Education Bureau for the session you join.
Where both hold, the UGC's September 2022 public notice settles the question of mode: degrees earned by open and distance learning from recognised institutions are to be treated as equivalent to the same degrees earned in a classroom.
BLIS is the professional library qualification that library assistant and librarian notifications commonly name.
The records to check for your session
| Record | Where to check | What it settles |
|---|---|---|
| UGC recognition | Subharti's accreditation page | That the university may award degrees |
| DEB entitlement | UGC-DEB portal | That the BLIS may run by distance for your session |
| NAAC grade | NAAC A | Institution-wide quality — not a programme approval |

Where a Subharti BLIS counts
- Library posts whose notifications ask for a BLIS
- Admission to an MLIS
In every case, the notification or prospectus you apply under has the final word. Read its eligibility clause rather than the job title.
Where to read the fine print
Library notifications sometimes add a minimum percentage or further qualifications. The notification is the rulebook.
Does AICTE approval come into it?
For a university's own degree taken by distance, recognition is settled by the university's UGC status and its Distance Education Bureau entitlement for the programme and session — the records in the table above. Those are the documents to ask for when you verify this degree.
What NAAC A tells you, and what it doesn't
NAAC grades the institution as a whole. An A tells you Subharti University was assessed and graded well; it is not an approval of any single programme, and it does not replace the DEB check for your session.
