Study a wide range of courses through distance learning

The students have the never before opportunity to study a wide number of courses to build a sound career. A number of recognized and highly ranked universities across the country offer distance learning courses in a number of disciplines from management to arts. Distance learning model of education has emerged as a bona fide alternative to the system of traditional education wherein the students are required to physically attend the classes in university. In a distance learning course the students need not fulfill the mandate of attending classes in universities. They can study from home and are merely required to clear the examinations as per the university guidelines with minimum qualifying marks. The students can also study various courses through an online mode in which the students are given access to an online portal designed by the university. The students are given online lectures through video conferencing, video lectures etc. The students are also given specially designed study modules and course materials which are designed to give the students clarity regarding the basic concepts. The students can also study from the study resources and student reviews on the online interaction portal.

The universities also run a regular exercise of conducting doubt resolution sessions from time to time to help the students gain knowledge and insight about their potential and skills. The students are also allotted mentors whom they can approach in case of doubts and queries encountered by them in their self study. 

The universities also provide the students with the opportunities such as campus placements and scholarships. The students can avail scholarships and enrollment rebates in many colleges and institutes for meritorious performance. The students can also hope to get employment across a wide range of sectors after pursuing various distance learning courses. Some of the most popular courses that are widely pursued by students through distance learning are MBA, MCA, BSC in IT, LLM etc. The students therefore have no dearth of courses to choose from. Most of the universities are equipped with ultra modern infrastructure and come with the best on campus amenities.  The students can even make use of the various on campus amenities such as libraries and research infrastructure. 

Distance learning is especially beneficial for students who wish to pursue further education along with their professional careers or alongside the other regular courses they are studying. Thus with this alternative model of education gaining ground, the students no longer have to make the impassive choice of having to choose between their studies or careers.
