Dear Concerned,
Symbiosis Center for Distance Learning claims to be DEC approved where as on the website of dec www.dec.ac.in .. Symbiosis only has the provisional recognistion which lasted from 05-08. whereas after that it does not have any more continuance of recognition after '08. Its a highly organised fraud. BEWARE. from the Symbiosis distance learning mugs.
don't believe me check out the www.dec.ac.in, click on ODL Universities, Institues approved by DEC. Was this information helpful? | 
I have also verified on the website & Symbiosis does not have DEC regular Recognition.
