This Undergraduate Programme is one among the approved Programmes.

The Board of Studies, a statutory academic body of the University, consisting of the versatile scholars, eminent teachers including both internal and external, well- acclaimed industrialists, outstanding alumni, and prospective learners as members, has designed the robust curriculum of this Programme. The curriculum is overhauled to be more suitable to the socio-economic and scientific needs in the modern era based on the emerging trends in the discipline at State and National as well as International level and accordingly, modified to our local context. Moreover, the whole syllabi of this Programme have special focuses on promoting the learners to the modern learning environment.

With a Credit System / Choice Based Credit System (CBCS), this Programme is offered in semester/ non-semester pattern. The Self-Learning Materials that are the mainstay of pedagogy in the Open and Distance Learning (ODL) have been developed incorporating both the traditional and the modern learning tools, like web-resources, multi-media contents, text books and reference books with a view to providing ample opportunities for sharpening your knowledge in the discipline.

At this juncture, I wish to place on record my deepest appreciations and congratulations to the Chairperson and the Members of the Board of Studies concerned for having framed the curriculum of high standard.

I would also like to acknowledge the Director, the Programme Co-Ordinator and the members of staff of the respective School of Studies for their irrevocable contributions towards designing the curriculum of this Programme.
