What is Distance Learning?
There are many courses offered under the Distance Education program by DDE (Directorate of Distance Education) but technical courses like B.Tech and M.Tech are not offered under distance education programs because technical courses like B.Tech and M.Tech need practical knowledge and physical involvement of an individual in the practical learning and training sessions. If you don’t want to pursue an M.Tech course from regular mode due to the lack of time, then you can opt for a part-time Distance M.Tech Course.
A part-time M.Tech course is a perfect blend of the objectives of a Distance program and a Regular program. This course is specially designed for working students who are unable to attend the college at regular timings. In this course, classes are generally conducted in the evening or on the weekends, or any other time suitable for students, So they don’t have to leave their job to pursue higher education.
Various Specializations offered under Part-Time M.Tech Course
- Mechanical Engineering
- Chemical Engineering
- Computer Science & Engineering
