Annamalai University, Directorate of Distance Education: 15 answered questions

Am I eligible to go for a Ph.D. after I do an MSc in Math through distance learning from Annamalai University? Is the Annamalai distance education UGC recognized?

Harsh Aggrawal

In December 2012, the Central Government directed that the responsibility for carrying out the regulatory functions of distance education be transferred from the Distance Education Council (DEC) to the University Grants Commission (UGC). Thus, the UGC is the country's sole regulating body for distance education, and it has granted approval to institutes to offer courses that must adhere to certain standards and guidelines.

The UGC compiles a list of approved Distance Education universities in India using a three-tiered process:

1. scanning institutional data, such as infrastructure, faculty, delivery systems, and student support systems.

2. expert visits to institutions; and approval of programs based on content, quality, and effectiveness.

3. The course's self-instructional nature.

Annamalai University is a distance education learning university. Students who have completed any post-graduate course recognized by the UGC in humanities, social sciences, computer science, electronics, and so on are eligible to apply for the NET/ JRF exam. They must have received a minimum of 55% on their post-graduate exams. So, if the distance learning program is approved by the UGC or the Association of Indian Universities, you can apply for the NET/ JRF exams with confidence.

How do I easily pass the Annamalai University DDE?

Any exam will become easier if you work hard with enough dedication, scoring good marks will not be difficult.

Firstly, start going through the notes from your first month onwards, only then you will fully get to utilize the contact classes.

According to the several students reviewing online, Annamalai University is comparatively easier to prepare for than IGNOU. Many of the students often come to University with their families and stay in a lodge to do the course.

IGNOU will be a good choice if you want your medium of language to be Hindi.

While writing the answers try to describe them more. The additional paragraphs will definitely be considered during evaluation.

You should be clear about the subjects and be familiar with your strengths and weaknesses. Spend more time in the preparation of those. You can also refer to the model paper which is available online. It is suggested that you just go through it and prepare for the exam accordingly.

Is Annamalai University's graduation degree in Distance Education not valid for admission in a PG from IGNOU? IGNOU rejected my admission due to this reason. What should I do?

Nandini Raichand

If a university issues a certificate to a student who passed a written examination in a state other than the university's territorial jurisdiction. For example, if a state university grants admission and conducts exams in another state, the results will be invalid under UGCC regulations.

For example, Andhra University (state university) should not conduct examinations outside of Andhra Pradesh.

If it is done in this manner, the certificate will be invalid. As a result, it is one of the reasons why IGNOU does not admit students with such certificates.

If there is a court case against the university that issued the certificate, IGNOU will not grant admission based on that certificate. As a result, IGNOU has stringent UGC admission requirements.

Which one is the best: an M.Sc in Applied Psychology from Annamalai University’s distance education or an M.A in Applied Psychology from Chandigarh University’s distance education?

It will be difficult to choose between Annamalai University and Chandigarh University, just as it is difficult to choose where to study when there are so many options. I recommend that you look into Chandigarh University's distance learning program. Chandigarh University's distance education department is relatively new, but it is very promising.

The Institute of Distance & Online Learning at Chandigarh University is UGC-DEB accredited, making it an approved distance learning program. Moving on, the facilities and support in distance programs are very helpful and student-friendly. First and foremost, you will receive all study materials and have free access to their online content, which includes videos, e-courses, SLM, and quizzes. Aside from multimedia and course materials, the CU LMS (Learning Management System for distance learners) includes features such as rubrics, teacher and instructor-facilitated learning, a discussion board, a course tracker, download and submit assignments, interact with faculty, and a virtual programming environment and e-library.

Furthermore, despite being a distance learner, you will be able to visit the campus, participate in numerous workshops and seminars, and gain first-hand experience with industry tools. With a curriculum that meets international and industry standards, you will also have access to the university's placement drive, which means you can even be placed via distance education.

How can I get a duplicate mark sheet from Annamalai University DDE if I lost it?

Taara Malhotra

If you have misplaced your mark sheet, you may contact or visit the appropriate department. Then you must submit a letter to the registrar detailing your requirements. They will then send it via courier. Instead of a duplicate, you ask for the original mark sheet.

Try to be aware and vigilant while handling your documents so that they do not get lost.

Is Annamalai University distance education UGC approved?

Ashmita Sengupta

No, Annamalai University Distance Education is not approved by UGC. It is not approved by DEB either. One of my close friends attended the university and didn’t have a good experience. Here are some of his insights.

If you are a resident of a state other than Tamil Nadu, then you may face problems in receiving your certificates. You will not be able to collect your certificate from any branch office or study center. In the end, you will have to go to Annamalai University directly.
Regarding the UGC approval, the institute has filed a case in the High Court as it was previously approved. But there is no final decision yet.
My friend also complains that the staff at the study center are not very cooperative.
