Frequently asked questions

YVU’s 2023 approval set ₹5,000 for the first year and ₹4,000 for the second, with processing, material and exam fees extra. No 2026-27 fee table is posted.
Does YVU offer a distance MBA?
Not one recognised for 2026-27. The CDOE site has MBA pages, but UGC-DEB’s list covers only six MAs, the M.Com and a BFA (Hons.).
Is there an entrance test?
YVU’s distance programme reports mention none. An MA needs any bachelor’s degree and the M.Com a degree with commerce.
Can I join from outside Kadapa?
YVU’s UGC-DEB application gives its distance jurisdiction as Kadapa and Annamayya districts, so ask the CDOE before applying from elsewhere.
Is YVU NAAC accredited?
Yes. NAAC graded it A with a CGPA of 3.13 in November 2022, valid to 8 November 2027.
If YVU CDOE isn’t the right fit
YVU teaches only MA, M.Com and BFA courses by distance. Acharya Nagarjuna University in Guntur has a distance MBA and MCA, IGNOU admits in January and July, and UGC-entitled private online MBAs start at ₹67,000 in total (Mangalayatan University, fee checked 17 October 2026).
