Distance/Correspondence

No, you have to attend your classes regularly.

Yes, you can pursue, but not via distance mode. You have to do it in a regular mode because as per government rules, any pro course is not a subject of distance education.

You can study distance B.Tech in mechanical engineering from SSK College in Chennai.

Hello Evangel, These days many Universities are offering distance education. However the best I found is IGNOU. It has plenty to offer, course content is the best and enough time for submission of assignments. Go for this.

I guess you are asking what is better?
Well according to me, regular learning is far better than distance because you actually get to learn your subjects but whereas in distance learning, there is very less scope of actual learning and so I prefer regular learning. But this is just my opinion. It could vary from person to person.

In distance learning, one need not attend classes as regular students and vice versa for class learning. In degree level, regular courses have a ting edge over the distance learning courses because of numerous reasons. Surely, one can work with his distance education until and unless dates for exams don't clash with his office work.

As far as my knowledge goes, AIILSG doesn't provide SI course in correspondence mode, but only regular courses or holiday batches (i.e. Saturday, Sunday and other holidays).
