B.Sc

Distance learning in B.Sc/ M.Sc. Is one of the most preferred options for students who are unable to attend regular classes due to several factors such as geographical restrictions, health issues, and time & financial constraints. Many major Science specializations in India are approved by UGC, which can be offered in distance learning mode. However, courses such as B.Sc. Agriculture, Horticulture, Sericulture, and associated courses are not available in distance learning/ online distance learning (ODLP) mode due to the nature of its course which involves practical learning and experimentation. In recent years, UGC has also given approval for online B.Sc. Courses where the students are provided with online study materials and contact sessions. The exams for online B.Sc. Courses are conducted online where all the questions will be objective or MCQ-based. Before seeking admission distance or online B.Sc. Courses, it is advisable to check the UGC recognition of the respective universities. In fact, UGC has recently approved that a student can pursue two dual degrees simultaneously with the condition that one of the degree programmes must be in the distance learning mode. Moreover, the 2020 pandemic situation has further urged students & aspirants to take up online distance learning programmes on priority. While there are many top Distance Learning Institutes in India that offers courses in various streams, this article focuses on B.Sc. Online Distance Learning Programmes.
