Annamalai University (Distance Education), Tamil Nadu

 M.A. in Functional English is not offered from the Directorate of Distance Education, Annamalai University. Their distance education programs as of March 28, 2025, include the following M.A. options: English, Tamil, History, and Sociology.

They provision M.A. Functional in their official offering, because it is a specialised course that concentrates on the practical aspects of language. There is a standard M.A. English course, which would be only open to holders of bachelor's degrees. The fees are quite affordable, about INR 7,000-10,000 per year, and admission just needs an online application with requisite documents.

The BBA program offered by distance education at Annamalai University terminated its distance learning operation in September of 2024. 

The established examination centers organize traditional in-person tests for active students in the program. All candidates must decide their examination center while filing registration forms yet this selection becomes permanent after registration. Studying at the Personal Contact Programme (PCP) constitutes a mandatory requirement for students as non-attendance leads to withheld academic results.
