Good to know before applying: You are advised to check if the course you are applying for is UGC-approved/AICTE-approved and specifically for the academic session of July 2023 onwards. While you are permitted to apply for two programs simultaneously, such as one degree and one diploma or two diplomas (refer to the FAQs on the official website), consider the fact that there may be a clash in exam dates and therefore best focus on one distance education program at a time. You could also check who are the faculty who have been engaged for the SDE courses under the 'student support' Tab on the official website.

For a subject that requires fieldwork, you will be given the required guidance.

Seminars may also be held during the holidays. As a student of the School of Education, you are required to follow the rules and regulations of the university, so check about mandatory requirements for attending contact sessions, when assignments need to be submitted, etc.Fees
