• Digital Library through Books24x7 Online Reference ware.

Self Instructional Printed Material (SIM)

Printed materials are the primary form of instructional materials. Improvement in quality is ensured through SIMs because no single text book can cover the course content appropriately. Also SIMs are designed to make the subject matter self-explanatory and easy to understand. These are supplied to the learners in the form of Books. Each book is divided into blocks consisting of several units. Each unit is sized in such a manner that it can be studied in a session of about 4 to 6 hours.

Personal Contact Program

Online Personal Contact Program (PCP) supports the self learning study material. PCP’s are conducted over web. These sessions are conducted during the semester and attendance is mandatory. Schedules for these lectures are intimated at the beginning of the semester to candidates. These are forums for interactive education and enrich learners’ knowledge by directing it to practice. PCP carries 10% weightage towards End-Term Examinations.

Project Work

Very central feature of this program is that it is planned around project work. The objective of the project work is to help the student develop the ability to apply the concepts learned and to bring about an improvement in the work environment.
