UGC-Approved Online Degrees & Kerala's First RPL Program

Earn a 100% genuine, UGC-approved online degree or convert your 2 years of work experience into a degree in just 6 months through Kerala’s first-ever Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) program.

Who Is TIMS - Tecswan Institute for Management Studies?

TIMS (Tecswan Institute for Management Studies) is one of India’s leading education facilitation institutes and we help working professionals and students across Kerala to earn 100% UGC-approved online degrees in management, technology, commerce, science, and arts. We are also the first institute in Kerala to introduce RPL – Recognition of Prior Learning, a government-backed, NEP 2020-aligned program that lets eligible working professionals complete a full degree in as little as 6 months by converting their work experience into degree credits.

If you’re planning to study while you work, upgrade your qualifications, or fast-track your degree using your professional experience, TIMS is here to support you.

100% Online UGC-Approved Degree Programs

All programs are offered through UGC-DEB-recognized universities. Your online degree carries the same legal validity as a conventional campus degree and is valid for government jobs, private employment, competitive exams, and further studies.

Kerala's First RPL Program - Turn 2 Years of Work Experience Into a Degree in 6 Months

Millions of working professionals in Kerala have spent years building real expertise, managing businesses, handling accounts, working in IT, and running operations without a formal degree to show for it.

TIMS changes this with Kerala’s first RPL (Recognition of Prior Learning) program, a UGC-backed, NEP 2020-aligned process that converts your documented work experience into university degree credits. Instead of studying all 3 years of a degree from scratch, you only need to complete the final year online.

The result: a fully recognized, UGC-approved degree in as little as 6 months.

How the TIMS RPL Degree Program Works

STEP 1

Experience Assessment

Your 2+ years of documented work experience is formally assessed and mapped against the academic curriculum of your chosen degree program.

STEP 2

Degree Credit Transfer

Your experience is converted into academic credits for Years 1 & 2 (Semesters 1–4) of your 3-year degree. You don't re-study what you already know.

STEP 3

Complete in Online

Study only the final year of your degree, which is 100% online, at your own pace. This typically takes 6 months to 1 year depending on the program.

You receive a fully recognized, UGC-approved degree from a partnered university, which is valid everywhere globally.

Life happened, and you couldn't finish your degree earlier. But your professional experience has more than filled the gap.
