Founded in 1918 by Nawab Osman Ali Khan of Hyderabad, Osmania University is one of the oldest universities in India. In addition to modernistic infrastructure, including an IT-enabled campus and a well-resourced library, the university houses complex research facilities to develop an investigative culture on campus. Furthermore, the university endeavours to provide students with appropriate guidance and training to help them embark on a fulfilling career. The university has been granted a ‘University with Potential for Excellence’ by the University Grants Commission (UGC).
Osmania University established the Prof. G. Ram Reddy Centre for Distance Learning in 1977 to deliver world-class education through distance learning mode. The centre has received the necessary approval from the Distance Education Bureau (DEB) of the UGC to offer distance learning programmes in multiple disciplines. Other than a well-resourced library, the university has a network of study centres for the convenience of students and their seamless assimilation into the distance learning mode. To establish an interactive teacher-student setup, the centre organises contact classes for the students’ mentoring.
To facilitate better assimilation of knowledge by the students, the Centre for Distance Education (CDE) has a dedicated, well-resourced library for the students enrolled in distance education courses. The students can conveniently access diverse learning resources like reference books, additional textbooks, journals, etc. Also, the centre has a computer lab to equip students with competent skills through their courses.
The Centre for Distance Learning (CDL) provides an opportunity for lateral admission to those students who had to discontinue their studies in the regular mode of education due to inevitable reasons. The chance to get lateral admission aids people to complete their courses, get degrees, and fetch better job opportunities.
To render students with needful counselling, the centre conducts contact-cum-counselling classes at the end of the academic year. The students get an opportunity to personally communicate with the teachers, resolve their queries before the exams, and receive counselling for future career growth.
The Prof. G. Ram Reddy Centre for Distance Learning supplies e-learning material to its students on its website, in addition to the comprehensive printed material. The students can easily access the material through their devices from the comforts of their homes.
