India's Best Distance Learning Institutions 2011.

[Dr. Tarvinder Singh Handa]

 

Just eleven out of the top 32 institutions in the objective ranking list find a place in the perception ranking. Of the 11, seven are in the public sector and only five have substantial web presence. In fact, Sikkim Manipal alone polled about 8% of the total sample size with over 500+ unique IP addresses, showing the substantial reach technology could achieve.

The objective data results have not changed much. Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU), the leviathan with 500+ programmes and 3 million plus students still retains the pole position in India’s first-ever objective rating of Distance Learning Institutes. But not so surprisingly IMT has improved its ranking in objective criterion.

[Dr. Tarvinder Singh Handa]

I should be BEST because the best persons like you are handling its services.

[DR. HAR SINGH BISHT]

Thank you very mcuh handa sir for your believe and faith over me, I am just little part of the University, therefore my contribution is very little, whatever i can do for IGNOU, i am doing. Rest of it depends of our Students which are believing of IGNOU, its courses and taking admission from IGNOU and making it more and more large university. Thats why IGNOU is Peoples University.

Dear Tarvinder Singh Handa,

It is no doubt that IGNOU is one of the best University facilitating education in Distant Mode including LIS Education.  Before intoducing Library Science Department in IGNOU, Library profession was not so much popular and It was only IGNOU which boosted craze of LIbrary Professionship among current society.  Course Curriculum and Study Material is upto the mark of International Standards.  Hoping to maintain its quality in future including PGDLAN teaching standards.
