Digitalization has brought a transformational change into an education industry. Among the many changes, it is the distance learning education that has seen a dramatic shift in the mainstream of the institutional education. With traditional education channels taking a back seat, it is the online education programs and the distance learning courses that are setting the new trends in the education system of India. Almost every big educational institute now offers post graduate distance education courses.

The rise in career oriented learning programs and choices of vocational courses have made distance learning programs a preference among many professionals. The reasons of their increasing demand can be:

· These courses offer better career prospects to the earning professionals

· They have low fee structure as compared to regular, full-time courses

· They offer flexibility which is a great learning advantage

· The value of these programs is now being considered equivalent to those of regular degree courses.

The above mentioned points have played a major role in making distance education a new trend in higher education industry. Although this trend is surely going to enrich our future generation only but it is very important to thoroughly check the syllabus and structure of the course before actually enrolling for it. As, this trend is becoming the main part of mainstream education, even institutions have already started redefining structures for it. In order to provide quality learning experience, educational institutes are already researching and developing better faculty and facility base. Apart from this, even educational analytics are also working in order to provide better efficiencies so as to reduce the overall costs and increase the accessibility of these programs.

Being a whole new method of learning which is not restricted under location or time constraint, it is now very necessary to set some strict regulations for it. This trend is surely going to build a whole new era of education that will serve better education experience to the learners. But, as if for today it still needs to penetrate on the grassroots levels of India.

If estimates have to be believed, then in next few years majority of learners will start ripening the benefits of distance education learning programs. And soon this trend will become the mainstream of education in India which will further make the complete education service ecosystem more balanced and managed.

Internet technology has been a major driving force for the transformational change in the education industry. With so many distance learning courses in India, it is really very difficult to choose the post graduate distance education courses. But with small research and right guidance now anyone can pick the best program for their academics as well as career.
