The Open-Distance-Learning (ODL) system is a unique and challenging mode of
education offered at the University level. This system provides ample
opportunities for those who desire to have University education at their
place of work or residence. This method is popularly known as Online
Distance Learning. It is perhaps the only way to meet the ever-increasing
demand for Higher Education especially in a developing country like India.
Online Distance Education programmes are specially designed for:
·
- Candidates who discontinue their formal education owing to
pecuniary or other circumstances. ·
- Candidates residing in geographically remote areas. ·
- Candidates who cannot get admission to a regular college /
Post-graduate department. ·
- Employed persons who cannot pursue their study as full-time
candidates. ·
- Individuals who wish to pursue learning for knowledge sake. ·
- Candidates who wish to update knowledge and skills.

Open-Distance-Learning (ODL) system is perhaps the only system that has
been planned in such a way that it is able to cater to all those who desire
to seek Higher Education in spite of the fact that they are in a
disadvantageous position due to social, economic, spatial and such other
reasons. Also to cater to the increasing demand for Higher Education,
flexibilities in terms of age, qualification, location, time, etc., have
