Academic Delivery

The methodology of instruction is learner-oriented, and the student has to be an active participant in the teaching-learning process. A multi-channel approach is followed for instruction. It comprises a suitable mix of:

• Customized Self Instructional Material (SIM) for self study
• Online Classroom Sessions: The interaction is live and uses high quality video, audio and data at any place of convenience
• Continuous evaluation in the form of Assignments are an integral part of learning
• Online Digital Library

Self Instructional Material (SIM)
SIM 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 SIM is designed to make the subject matter self-explanatory and easy to understand. Each SIM 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.

Faculty led PCP Sessions
PCP or 'Personal Contact Programs' support the self learning study material. These sessions are conducted through out the year and attendance is mandatory. Schedules for these lectures are intimated at the beginning of the semester to candidates. These sessions provide opportunity for interactive education and enrich learners' knowledge by directing it to practice.

Assignments
The main purpose of assignments is to test students' comprehension and value addition from the study material they receive from the delivery and also to help them successfully complete the courses by providing feedback to them.

Digital Library
As part of the curriculum, students will have access to online resources and reference material that will help them in their learning process. Archived class sessions are also available online for reference purposes.
