MUJ looks good, but as always, there is a catch.

Holders of degrees awarded by non-Indian universities will need to submit an Equivalence Certificate obtained from the AIU (Association of Indian Universities). 

And this will only work for B&M degrees.... since the AIU states in its info brochure:

DEGREES AWARDED BY THE FOREIGN UNIVERSITIES FOR STUDIES UNDERTAKEN THROUGH OPEN/DISTANCE/CORRESPONDENCE / ONLINE/VIRTUAL MODE etc: 61. As of now, the AIU does NOT accord Equivalence to such foreign degrees that have been obtained for studies undertaken through open/distance/correspondence/online/virtual modes(s) etc ;

So unfortunately, until the AIU changes its policy, people with online bachelors degrees are SOL.

Of course, the only way to know for sure with these kinds of things is to actually submit a Big Three or UMPI degree for evaluation and see what they come back with.

Maybe I'm missing something, but if you live in the United States and you get a degree from Manipal, couldn't you just submit your records to a NACES evaluator like you would with any other foreign degree in order to establish validity?

In order to study at Manipal in the first place, you have to get your degree evaluated by the Indian equivalent of WES. And we don't know if they'd accept a degree from TESU or the like, with all of the alt credit, in the first place.

The Indian (for AIU) site is super sketch; they don't have the fees listed anywhere I can find unless/until you create an account with them. But it looks like the fees are (according to other sites) about $200USD.
