The Bharathiar University set up the School of Distance Education (SDE) in the year 1991-92 to deliver holistic education in exchange for a minimal fee.

The students enrolled in distance learning courses at the School of Distance Education (SDE) can avail the assistance and counselling of its huge network of proficient learner support centres. Spread throughout the state of Tamil Nadu, these centres also run Personal Contact Programmes (PCPs) for the benefit of the students.
To deliver job-oriented, extensive education, the School of Distance Education (SDE) offers learning resources in printed as well as digital form. The digital learning resources can be easily accessed from the school’s website. The school also provides a soft copy of the resources on a CD to each and every student.
The School of Distance Education (SDE) of Bharathiar University offers admission through lateral entry mode for some of its courses. The motive behind lateral admissions is to save the time and effort for the students and provide them with better employment opportunities earlier than if they were enrolled in the regular mode of education.
Usually, distance education is bereft of the fundamental teacher-student interaction. The school administers contact classes for each and every distance learning programme to furnish students with crucial interaction with experienced faculty. Through personal Contact Programmes, the students can have an engaging classroom experience.
