Message From The Dean
Dr. M. Moshahid Alam Rizvi
Welcome to Jamia Millia Islamia, one of the high ranked Central Universities of India. It has been awarded A++ by NAAC in 2021 and ranked third among the universities by NIRF consecutively in 2022 and 2023. It is a dual mode university, which offers academic programmes in regular as well as in Open Distance Learning and Online Mode. Distance and Online Education has become highly significant and demanding in the present times, because this enables learners to continue their education with jobs and other engagements and provide an excellent platform for life-long leaning and education. Presently, we have an enrollment of more than 21,400 students in ODL and Online mode. We offer PG, UG, PG Diploma and Certificate programmes in different disciplines and areas having employment opportunities. The admission process is conducted twice a year as per UGC-DEB guidelines. As per the revised schedule of admission, one batch starts in August-September and the other batch starts in January-February. The admission process for these batches opens accordingly in July and December respectively. Hence, we admit students in our different programmes twice in an academic year. In all the academic activities like preparation of Self Learning Material (SLM) for students, conducting counselling sessions, workshops, and dissertations, we always try to meet the quality standard and put our sincere efforts to provide quality education and experiences to all our learners. I sincerely appreciate the coordinated efforts of all our teaching and non-teaching staffs of Centre for Distance and Online Education, officials of Controller of Examinations and FTK Centre for Information Technology for their kind cooperation and timely resolving the issues and working towards the progress and development of CDOE, JMI. The hard work and dedication of Programme Coordinators towards providing quality learning experiences to our ODL and OL learners are highly appreciated. I welcome all aspiring learners to the Centre for Distance and Online Education, Jamia Millia Islamia, in different programmes of learning and ensure to provide best possible learning experiences and wish them for their bright future and career ahead.
