Education Made Easy

Updated on: Saturday, September 17, 2011

Lovely Professional University (LPU) announced the launch of study centres for distance learning programmes on September 15.  LPU has opened a total number of two study centres in Kolkata to provide both academic as well as administrative support to students.

Ashok Mittal, chancellor, LPU said, “Distance education courses are an efficient way for the students to enhance learning and to expand access to higher education.” Mittal further added, “By opening the LPU Study Centres for Distance Learning, we are ensuring that an innovative pedagogy is developed to help students get education which is flexible, economical, convenient and effective by all means.”

Under LPU DE, students are provided with study material, contact classes and various online resources to facilitate student learning. An advanced teaching has been developed and designed specifically for every course of distance education. This is to help students develop analytical, application, presentation and communication skills, and to involve the students in the courses, so that they spend the required time on the courses, not as a matter of compulsion, but due to the generated interest.

All the study material including books of all subjects will be provided by the university, free of cost. The students can collect the books from the study centres. With the help of LPU’s online software - Learning Management Solutions (LMS), students will be able to see their assignments, study material, fees deposited, and curriculum and they can also give their mock test online.

LPU DE programmes are recognised by the Distance Education Council (DEC), an apex body for the Open and Distance Learning (ODL) system in India, and Joint Committee of UGC-AICTE-DEC for running distance education programmes. The recognized distance education programmes are considered equivalent to their corresponding regular programmes and are valid for employment and higher studies. Students can apply for various job openings themselves as well.
