The Uttarakhand Open University is expected to complete its digitisation work shortly. The university has paced up its procedure for facilitating this also to ensure that the students derive the intended benefit of digitisation. The university is also bracing itself for large number of student registration this time around as the private examination pattern is discontinued in the State from this year.
The Vice Chancellor (VC) of the university, Nagesgwar Rao held meetings with different departments of the university on Thursday and passed necessary orders. He said that the objective of the university is to take the benefit of distance education to far flung areas and provide fruits of latest communication technology to all. He said that university has taken measures for timely conduction of the examinations.
The Open University has also exempted the students from taking up the examination which they had failed to appear, in next semester. The VC has also set up a deadline for timely release of results. In its pursuit of total digitisation, the courses of all departments are being uploaded on website. The students can download the syllabus and material from the website and can start studies in case of non availability of books.
