PROGRAMMES OFFERED THROUGH DISTANCE / ONLINE MODE

The Distance Education Programme of DEI was launched in the year 2004 to extend the benefits of its high quality, innovative, value-based and affordable education to all sections of society, especially the weaker sections and women residing in remote, backward and tribal areas. Aimed at their empowerment and economic development, several employment-oriented vocational programmes are offered with very nominal fee mainly to meet the cost of the Resource Material, which is freely available to students.

Information relating to the Distance Education Programmes is disseminated through 94 Information Centres in India (For details about the Information Centres, please visit http://www.dei.ac.in/dei/distanceEducation).
