After all the recent changes, what's the possibility of doing undergrad from India?

[Supermind]

They might probably accept 1 year Master’s programs. Bcos the AIU degree equivalency rules stipulate that the duration of an online degree program must be ‘approximately close’ to the actual duration of degree programs in India. So, 1 year is close to 1.5. As you say, it is absurd that India is unwilling to accept proctored online exams. But there is a reason- we have many diploma Mills in India, and paying to get a degree certificate, or proxy-writing of exams are common offenses here. So, there is a lot of fear and skepticism.
I also noticed something else. University transcripts in India often carry the photograph of the student. When I produced my TESU & Walden transcripts in a Government office recently, the officer asked why this does not have my photo. I had to tell him that is not common in the US, and he did not question further. Perhaps, American universities should consider offering such photo-ID-verified transcripts — at least for Indian students. Also, there is the suspicion in india that online American universities never really get to see the student and know that they ‘really exist.’ TESU asked for a copy of my passport during enrollment as proof of identity and address; Walden asked for absolutely nothing. I was left wondering if my details are somehow already ‘in the system’, bcos I had previously earned a degree from an American university. GRE & TOEFL exams also ask for passport copies. The transcripts also carry my photo. So, why is this not followed in universities? This is another area of contention. I feel Online universities should require photo IDs, address proofs etc of international students during enrolment. And they should also have a few zoom video interactions with their students- just to allay concerns that they have never met their students even once. Proctor U or Study.com might have seen me; but no one at TESU or Walden has really ‘seen’ me.
