Online vs Distance Education: What's the Difference?

Online programmes are delivered through a digital learning platform with structured sessions, digital material and online assessments as prescribed by the university.

Open & Distance Learning relies more on self-study material with scheduled support, and examinations are conducted as per the university's prescribed pattern.

Which one suits you depends on how much structure you want, how you prefer to study and which mode your chosen university offers for that programme.

Recognition and entitlement are always tied to the university, programme, mode and academic session — check the current status before enrolling.
