Distance/Correspondence

Hello Dheena,
It is very heartening to know your desire for doing Diploma in civil engineering. You are working abroad and you are seeking to do Diploma in civil engineering in distance mode from KSOU. Is that right? Now KSOU is an authorised agency or university department and hence any certificate awarded by this institution is valid across India and abroad anywhere for all purposes, but perhaps while doing this you will need to come to India appear for the exam as I think even now the exams are not conducted online. There is one more method by which you can be an engineer, that is by obtaining associateship of the concerned institution like Institution of Engineers or institution of Civil Engineers. You can appear for their exams and that is treated as equivalent to graduation. But in all these cases, presently at least, exam centres are not abroad and you need to come to India to appear for the exam, but perhaps this is a very small price to pay for obtaining degree certificate or Diploma certificate.
Best wishes to your efforts.

In India, no university is offering B.Tech or BE degrees in engineering and technology. This type degrees in distance education has banned by government of India. Up to 2009 JNTU Hyderabad, Andhra university Visakhapatnam Nagarjuna university Guntur Karnataka university Mysore, and IGNOU New Delhi offered this type degrees. And, AMIE of institution of engineers Calcutta also offer this type. In this AMIE is only recognized by government of India and no other university in India having the recognition by HRD ministry.
So, please note no university recognized by government of India and UGC. But, this matter is under the consideration of UGC to allow the universities to offer the graduation and post gradation courses in technical education. If you do any such unrecognized courses those will not useful to get any government jobs and not eligible for higher studies. These are just waste of time and money.
