Dear Students,

India as a nation has been taking big strides in the last 2 decades in technology, infrastructure and economic development at large. To fuel its already accelerated growth path, our government has also launched schemes like “Make in India” and “Digital India”. To sustain the pace of growth, the nation needs highly trained individuals who are not only committed but are also equipped with relevant skillsets.

With rapid changes in technology, we are witnessing, the nature of jobs going through a sea change. For instance, with driverless cars soon becoming a reality, we may have millions of drivers losing their jobs. Upskilling and learning new skills is therefore going to be of pivotal importance and the only way forward.

Bharti Vidyapeeth – Deemed to be University (BVDU) has always been committed to ensure that quality education is accessible to every deserving student.

In line with our ethos and to positively contribute towards Nation Building, we have launched a School of Online Education.

School of Online Education is a pioneer in offering Online BBA & MBA programs. Through these programs, we would like to present to you a world class offering that will not only help you stay relevant but also help you rapidly move up the corporate ladder.

In these programs, we have put together an expertly designed curriculum and have on boarded world class faculties to deliver the sessions.

I welcome you to these programs.

Dear Students,

It is a matter of immense pleasure for me to be a part of the Bharati Vidyapeeth (Deemed to be University) family as its Vice Chancellor. I take this opportunity to welcome students joining the Centre for Distance and Online Education in undergraduate as well as postgraduate programmes.

As per the All-India survey on Higher Education conducted by the Ministry of Human Resource Development, 2013, the Gross Enrolment Ratio in Higher Education in India is 20.4, for 18 – 23 years of age group. The GER for male population is 21.6 and for females it is 18.9. Distance enrolment constitutes 12.5% of the total enrolment in higher education. The purpose of Distance & Online Education is to bridge this gap and increase the accessibility of education, beyond the boundaries of a number of factors such as distance from the centres of education, social taboos especially for the female students, and also the housewives, bindings to acquire education while in job, or other such logistics, which, at times, are a hurdle to access higher education in India. The Centre for Distance & Online Education of the University is committed to offer the opportunities of higher education to such students through the Distance & Online Education mode. The university is approved to undertake the Distance & Online Education programmes offered by the Centre for Distance & Online Education. Our objectives are to reach the unreached and to make education accessible to all sections of the society. Distance & Online Education has been accepted as an effective way of learning and with the ICT enabled facilities such as virtual class rooms, etc. it has taken the shape of a robust learning platform. We, at the Centre for Distance & Online Education, have a dedicated e-connect online communication channel to ease out the process of internal communication in order to facilitate students through e-learning. The e-learning environment of our Centre for Distance & Online Education has developed effective communication channels between study centres and the respective students. Also, we have created provision for additional online supplementary study resources, such as videos, slide shares, SLM etc. for our students of Distance & Online Education.

I extend a very warm welcome to all the prospective students of the Centre for Distance & Online Education. I, on behalf of the university, wish and assure you a pleasant learning experience.

My best wishes for a successful career.

Dear Students,

The employability landscape of India is undergoing a tectonic shift and at a rapid pace. Automation, Artificial Intelligence and aspirations are the driving force behind this major change. As per World Economic Forum, 42% of jobs across industries will be performed by robots and the remaining 58% would need a different skillset altogether.

If you don’t learn the new skillsets, you may soon become irrelevant. Welcome to the grave reality of today!

To cope up with this difficult situation, I would like to offer to you our crème de la crème online BBA &MBA programs. Through these programs we prepare our students to learn the skills that the corporate houses are looking for in candidates.

You can learn the latest tools and techniques that are used by organizations in areas of Marketing Management, Financial Management, Operations Management, Human resource Management and Project Management.

Get Skilled, Get Upskilled and Stay Relevant!
