Directorate of Distance Education of this University was established within about two years of the inception of the University with the purpose of imparting learning in professional courses to all those candidates who cannot pursue higher education in regular mode for one reason or the other. The provision of education at the door steps has been the primary motto of the Directorate since its inception. The numbers of programme run through distance learning have been varying from time to time because of restructuring of the courses as per market requirements and at present 20 programmes are being conducted by the Directorate. The learning is directly by the Directorate of Distance Education. The core competency of the Directorate is to provide study material to the students in SIM format right from beginning and facilitating in class teaching known as PCPs conducted at the university level. The Directorate has been making ample use of ICT to strengthen its students support services. It has a dedicated website for student support services and system. I am happy to note that the Directorate has taken the initiative to start online admissions with effect from this year which, I believe, will be highly useful to the candidates seeking admissions. Through this write up, I extend hearty welcome to all the new entrants of distance education and wish that they make their careers by seeking admission to the courses as per suitability of their requirements. .
