Title: PhysicsWallah and Yashwantrao Chavan Maharashtra Open University Collaborate to Offer Online UGC-Compliant Degree Programs

PhysicsWallah, a leading education company, has partnered with Yashwantrao Chavan Maharashtra Open University (YCMOU) to launch online, UGC-compliant degree programs. The initiative includes Master of Business Administration (MBA), Master of Computer Applications (MCA), Master of Arts in English (MA English), and Bachelor of Computer Applications (BCA) programs [1].

The programs will be delivered using the UGC-compliant Four-Quadrant MOOC model, which combines self-paced learning, online sessions, assessments, and learner support. This approach aims to provide a flexible and accessible learning experience for students [1].

YCMOU will be responsible for academic approvals, compliance, and degree issuance, while PhysicsWallah will manage the technology platform, student engagement, and content delivery. This collaboration is part of both institutions' efforts to expand access to formal higher education, particularly for learners who may be geographically or economically disadvantaged [1, 2].

Aditya Agrawal, COO - New Initiatives, at PhysicsWallah, stated, "This partnership with YCMOU will support our journey towards building scalable, digitally-enabled pathways for learners to help access structured degree programs. We aim to focus on delivering programs that are accessible, compliant, and aligned with industry expectations" [1].

Prof. Sanjeev Sonawane, Vice Chancellor of YCMOU, added, "This collaboration with PhysicsWallah continues to enhance our digital academic delivery. We are working towards ensuring that learners are receiving flexible education backed by academic rigour and regulatory alignment" [1, 2].

The partnership is designed to create a digitally inclusive academic model that supports learners in pursuing recognized qualifications regardless of their location or background [1, 2].
