Overview

The Institute conducts off-campus degree programmes as a means of continuing education for employed professionals as part of the human resource development programmes of specific organizations at various off-campus centres.

• Description of Programmes

  The Institute's Senate has authorized the Institute to run the off-campus degree programmes in every degree in which an on-campus degree programme is already run in the Institute. For the conduct of all these programmes, the basic requirement is the participation of the collaborative organization by extending physical and other facilities and by agreeing to integrate their work requirements with the academic requirements of the Institute for the pursuit of the degree programme. The Work-Integrated Learning Programmes Division operates all these programmes. In all these programmes, emphasis is on self-learning and the pedagogy attempts to incorporate as many modern technologies as desirable. While every one of these programmes requires collaboration of an organization, some programmes have a highly structured collaboration with planned classroom activities and some programmes may have less structured planning. While a number of degrees are offered through structured collaboration with many collaborating organizations, there are also degrees, which are available in an open manner as Work-Integrated Learning Programmes for a large number of organizations, each of which may sponsor only few students. For the sake of identification, the structured collaborative programmes are classified as collaborative programmes and other programmes as Work-Integrated learning programmes. It is possible that if any organization sponsors a large number of students regularly and provides facilities for a structured arrangement, then any of the programmes that are currently classified as Work-Integrated learning programmes can also be classified as collaborative programmes or it is also possible that some programmes appear in both classifications as of the current option. For all these programmes, faculty/resource persons are drawn from the Institute, the participating organizations as well as experts from other Institutions.
