MESSAGE FROM THE VICE-CHANCELLOR
Dear Learners,
Greetings!. We are very happy to invite the learners to join Distance Education
Programme of SASTRA University. We have established Directorate of Distance Education
to provide high quality Distance Education to those who are not able to enter the portals of
conventional education system. SASTRA University has always been in the forefront of
higher education and all our professional programmes offered through conventional mode
have got recognition and national acclaim. This is possible because of qualified faculty
members and excellent infrastructural facilities at SASTRA.
‘Education for All’ is our watchword. So we have decided to take education to far
reaching areas. Such an effort is possible only through Distance Mode of Education. The
Directorate of Distance Education at SASTRA will address the individual needs of the
learner. We are aware that self-learning is the most suitable mode for a distance learner. To
facilitate this with professional competence we have adopted Self-Instructional Material
(SIM) pattern for selected programmes. This University adopts flexible admission policy,
cost-effective programme fee, study centre facility and academic inputs from experienced
faculty. Multimedia facilities are also available with us to enhance self-learning.
SASTRA University through Distance Education is committed to help the learner in
fulfilling his or her educational aspirations and hence we welcome the learner. We believe in
participatory approach and hence learning would be at once beneficial and fruitful.
‘Compensate for missed opportunities in learning and enable career development of all’ is
our motto.
Prof. R. Sethuraman
Vice-chancellor

learning, specific emphasis is laid upon self-study and the learning process takes place with
the help of SIM or printed materials rather than face- to- face communication. However,
mode of instruction is through the following:
• Self - Instructional Materials (SIM): Printed materials for both theory and practical components .
• Contact programmes: They are arranged by the University at the study centers.
(The study centre details will be informed after admission)
