The
demand for higher education in the country is increasing by
15% to 17% per year. However the capacity to increase the
intake in regular systems of education is mere 7% per annum.

to provide higher education to all as well as to fulfil lifelong
learning requirements.

Bachelors or Master's degree may not be sufficient to enter
the professional world and are keen on acquiring job-oriented
skills and qualifications through Ditance education or Correspondence
courses.
