When it comes to pursuing higher education, while working distance education is better as you can study with the help of internet. Even though classroom environ is not available you can make use of internet for online tutoring and reference. Moreover even at work you can use your computer. Additionally you can also go ahead with certifications by means of distance education. Esteemed universities for distance education are listed below:
• Anna University Chennai Centre for Distance Education – Chennai (Tamil Nadu)
• Acharya Nagarjuna University Center for Distance Education (CDE) – Guntur (Andhra Pradesh)
• Bangalore University Directorate of Correspondence Courses and Distance Education – Bangalore (Karnataka)
• Delhi University School of Open Learning (DUSOL) - Delhi
Yes, correspondence is useful and it has scope too. But do it in the recognized universities. Annamalai University like:
• Indira Gandhi National Open University
• Sikkim Manipal University
• Symbiosis University
• Kuvempu University
• Annamalai University
Advantage of correspondence education is:
One can do additional course along with correspondence course.
If you’re working you can work on your assignments or project works when you not busy.
As you are already in your family business, correspondence and distance education are the best options available for you. Correspondence and distance education are slightly different in a sense that the former involves studying a subject through the institute’s study materials (books, printouts, notes, etc.), whereas the latter involves weekend classes, video conferencing, direct broadcast radio, internet streaming, telephone, books, etc. You can even get other jobs by doing these courses. But get yourself confirmed about the institute’s recognition.
If you are keen on doing your post graduation you can definitely go for correspondence distance learning courses. This type of courses is apt for people who are working and are not able to attend full time classes. The only difficulty that you might face is self–study. The institute from which you are doing the course might provide you study materials but, you will have to study on your own. Many people go for distant education learning and you can go ahead with it too to attain your goals.
