Distance Education Programme

Distance Education is an umbrella term which describes all the teaching learning arrangements in which the learner and the teacher are separated by space and time. In fact it is a mode of delivering education and instruction to learners who are not physically present in a traditional setting of a classroom. Transaction of the curriculum is effected by means of specially prepared learning materials which are delivered to the learners at their doorstep through various print & electronic media and Internet. Also a technological medium replaces the inter-personal communication of conventional classroom based education that takes place between the teacher and the learners. Communication between the institution, teacher and learners is mainly through electronic media such as teleconferencing, videoconferencing, email, webinars etc. Also, face to face contact sessions are held at various study centres which are set up by the University closer to the learners' home.
