Distance Learning is where you don't need to attend the classes on a daily basis. But instead you have to attend for the classes only on Sundays.
With in that one day in a week, you will be imparted subject knowledge. So, due to this, you may or may not understand the subject.
You have to prepare yourself of the respective syllabus for various subjects which are under your chosen course and have to get through final examinations. So, self motivation, dedication, self feed back is very much essential for the candidate to finish a particular course through Distance Learning.
In contrast to this, in case of Regular Learning, the candidate has to attempt for the classes on a daily basis in the where he has joined to pursue a particular course.
Due to this kind of learning, there are number of benefits for the candidates.
-Can clarify any doubt as there is direct interaction with the Lecturers
-chance to participate in various activities with other classmates like
-Group Discussions
-Mock Interviews
-JAM
-Market Makers
-Quiz
-Seminars etc.
As there is direct interaction for the candidate with other classmates, he can discuss various points with his friends and they too can share their ideas. So, Collective work is being generated and good subject knowledge is being attained to the candidate.
You did not mention the course which you want to join.
Its always better to join any course in Regular Learning than Distance Learning. But for job holders and for the persons who are engaged with other important activities, it is not possible to pursue the course in regular learning.
For them, Distance Learning is the right choice.
