Distance learning in B.Sc/ M.Sc. Is one of the most preferred options for students who are unable to attend regular classes due to several factors such as geographical restrictions, health issues, and time & financial constraints. Many major Science specializations in India are approved by UGC, which can be offered in distance learning mode. However, courses such as B.Sc. Agriculture, Horticulture, Sericulture, and associated courses are not available in distance learning/ online distance learning (ODLP) mode due to the nature of its course which involves practical learning and experimentation. In recent years, UGC has also given approval for online B.Sc. Courses where the students are provided with online study materials and contact sessions. The exams for online B.Sc. Courses are conducted online where all the questions will be objective or MCQ-based. Before seeking admission distance or online B.Sc. Courses, it is advisable to check the UGC recognition of the respective universities. In fact, UGC has recently approved that a student can pursue two dual degrees simultaneously with the condition that one of the degree programmes must be in the distance learning mode. Moreover, the 2020 pandemic situation has further urged students & aspirants to take up online distance learning programmes on priority. While there are many top Distance Learning Institutes in India that offers courses in various streams, this article focuses on B.Sc. Online Distance Learning Programmes.

Stream: Astrophysics
Duration: 2 Years
Course: M.Sc. Course Type: Post Graduate
M.Sc. In Astrophysics is a full-time postgraduate course which covers both theoretical and observational aspects of astrophysics, with the course modules consisting of one compulsory module focused on building research skills in Astrophysics, and a variety of different optional modules that focus on topics such as Stars and Nebula, Gravitational Dynamics, and Accretion Physics. Enrolled students are trained in not only the fundamental aspects of Astrophysics, but also transferable skills such as programming, data analysis, problem solving, scientific writing, presentation and Science outreach, enhancing employability in and out of academia. This is a 2- year long course divided into two semesters, and the starting salary offered in India for successful postgraduates of the course lies between INR 5,000 and 60,000 monthly. The minimum eligibility required to be MET for admission to the course is graduation completed with Science from a recognised university with a minimum aggregate score of 50%. A few universities and colleges in India conduct entrance examinations for admission to the course. M.Sc. In Astrophysics: Admission Process
Admission to the course is conducted in 2 stages:
Institutional Test. Personal Interview- involving assessment of fitness, work experience, publications and statement of purpose. Most colleges admit students to the course on the basis of their performance in the relevant entrance test. Some institutions/ universities conduct their own entrance tests for offering admission. The admission process may s vary from college to college. Tanks and all the best.
