Dear Students,
Greetings and blessings!
It gives me immense pleasure to welcome you to the Center for Distance and Online

reach out to the students more efficiently and effectively. Along with its committed faculty that
embarks on a range of collaborative efforts, updated pedagogical methods and tools, CDOE
promotes inclusivity, individuality and intelligence. Mentoring the knack of critical thinking and
preparing the distance learners’ other vital non-academic capabilities/skills so that they are
able to meet the challenges of the twenty-first century, has been its main motive and motto.
CDOE provides meticulously prepared printed study material, scheduled personal contact
programs (PCPs) in an offline mode, insightful and updated assignments and feedback sheets
in an online mode. It also organises various events from time to time related to sports, music,
creative writing, communication skills, NSS and other participatory activities to encourage its
students' collaborative and leadership abilities. The Centre makes persistent and consistent
efforts to expand and galvanize constructive metamorphoses in the field of education and
pedagogy. The CDOE, through its multi-thronged strategies, has chartered out a robust
education system that ensures to offer opportunities to its distant learners a wide range of
learning possibilities. CDOE stands firm in its resolve to realize the national objective of equity,

MBA (AICTE Approved)

Programme's Mission & Objectives:
The mission of the MBA Programme is to contribute towards the dissemination of information and
knowledge in the field of management to students who are aspiring to become managers. The program
aims at providing education to those budding managers and aspirants who are unable to enroll in the
regular mode. It was started to meet the increasing demand of MBA aspirants, mainly from working
executives who want to learn while they earn.
The Objective of the program is to enhance the academic credentials and career prospects of the learners
which is one of the most sought after degrees in today's business world which gives them an edge and
enhance their employment prospects apart from widening their knowledge base. The aim of the program is
to give them an opportunity to blend theory with practice which will improve their career prospects and
would help them in career progression as well.
Relevance of the Program with HEl's Mission and Goals:

The relevance of the programme lies in its contribution to the larger goals of HEI which aims at providing
education to all, by enabling the students who are unable to enroll in regular mode, especially girls and the
working students by honing their existing skills, knowledge and abilities of the students. The objective is to
target the eligible candidates who are looking for upgrading their professional qualifications in time with the
market needs.
Nature of Prospective Target Group of Learners:

The target group of learners is the budding managers in the business world who are aspiring to take up
higher responsibilities and positions in their respective organization. It would nevertheless fulfill the self-
aspirational needs of the individuals who are looking for upgrading their professional qualifications in line
with the market needs. The course is useful to the students who are pursuing CA/CS or want to take up any
kind of competitive examination (Civil Services, SSC, UGC etc.). The programme would also make the
students eligible for enrolling in other master courses and Ph.D. programmes.
22
Appropriateness of programme to be conducted in Open and Distance Learning mode to acquire
specific skills and competence:
The appropriateness of MBA programme through distance learning lies in the fact that most of the
Universities running MBA have limited seats which hampers the aspirations of lakhs of students wanting to
earn a professional degree in business administration, where distance mode proves to be a boon.
There is a huge demand for master's degree in business administration from the learners who do not have
a professional management degree in hand. This program aims at providing an opportunity to such learners
who are working and do not have time to attend regular classes along with their working schedule, but are
keen on improving their educational qualifications for professional growth.
This degree nevertheless helps in boosting their confidence apart from equipping them with the requisite
managerial skills and helps them in developing a mindset of a global manager.
In addition, the department collaborates with the Central Placement Cell (CPC) of Panjab University for
enabling them to improve their placements prospects after obtaining the MBA degree. The Department also
organizes Academia Industry Interface programmes and Industrial visits for enhancing the employability
skills of the students from time to time and giving them hands on experience of blending theory with
practice thus incorporating the concept of experiential learning.

M.A. English
English is a language of international communication, the internet and the media. Whether for personal or
professional growth, English is indispensable in reaching and realising one’s goals in contemporary times. The
knowledge of the English language helps foster communication across diverse cultures of India and the world.
A study of Literature (an organisation of words to produce elevating and pleasing effects) produced in English
involving a comprehensive and in-depth understanding of literary history, theory, and criticism enhances students’
understanding of a wide range of cultures and intellectual traditions, including India. In addition to striving to
equip the distant learners of CDOE with better vocabulary, writing skills and other communication skills, the
Department of English also offers exposure to literary narratives/artefacts that are instrumental in expanding their
imagination, improving critical thinking and enhancing empathy, considered as the life force.
Masters in English is a much sought-after programme as students consider both the English language and
Literature a window to the world. English is indispensable for higher education, and proficiency in the language is
an essential prerequisite for all competitive examinations. The course opens plenty of avenues for employment.
Job opportunities become more accessible in education, the corporate, media and administrative sectors.
The course is spread over four semesters and aims to acquaint students with the literature written in English and
translated into English from various Indian and foreign languages. Besides, the course prepares distance learners
to comprehensively understand core areas such as Literary Criticism, Literary Movements, Indian Writings in
English, British Literature, and World Literature. The Course also offers exposure to specialised areas such as
Post-Colonial Studies, Cultural Studies, and American Literature.
The Course further aims at honing students' creative skills to enable them to become good content developers,
editors, and creative writers. The study of literature sensitises students to society's problems, whereby they
become equipped to grapple with the challenges of day-to-day life.
