Text Box: In order to provide individual support to its learners, the Directorate at present has established five study centers headed by the co-ordinator incharge. At the study centers the learners interact with the Academic Counselors and other learners, refer to books in the Library, watch / listen to audio / video cassettes and intract with the co-ordinator on administrative and academic matters. The list of study centres with centre code is given below: Study Centre Code Name of Study Centers 01 Gaya College, Gaya 02 J.D.Women’s College, Patna 03 A.N.College, Patna 04 Nalanda ,Biharsharif 05 S.Sinha College, Aurangabad 06 Oriental College, Patna City Counseling of students shall normally be done at their specified Study Centre. However, in case of inadequate counseling facility in some particular course(s), the counseling may be provided at other Study Centers to be named by the Directorate and to be communicated to students accordingly. The candidate will be required to attend their counseling sessions at the designated counseling centers by the Directorate, otherwise they will not be permitted to appear at the forthcoming examination. Programme Delivery The methodology of instruction in these programmes is different from that of face-to-face mode. The distance mode learning system is more learner - oriented and the learner is an active participant in the teaching-learning process. Most of the instructions are imparted through distance education methodology rather than face-to-face communication. The Directorate follows a multimedia approach for instruction. (a) Self Instructional Material : The printed study material in English(written in self-instructional style) for both theory and practical components of the programmes will be supplied to the learners in batches of blocks for every course. A block which comes in the form of a booklet usually comprises 3 to 5 units. Self instructional material wilt be given to the learner at the time of admission or dispatched to them by post. Students registered with DDE will preferably get the study material in the form of self-learning material (SLM) and assignment either directly from DDE, Magadh University headquarter or from Study Centers as the case may be. “At present the self-learning material will be supplied in English language only.” The students are advised to consult their faculty at the centre and refer to text books and reference books available in the market or libraries. (b) Audio - Visual Material Aids : The learning package contains audio and video cassettes for better clarification and enhancement of understanding of the course material given to the learner. A video programme is normally of 25-30 minutes duration. The audio tapes are run and video cassettes are screened at the study centers during specific sessions which are duly notified for the benefit of the learners. (c) Counselling Sessions: Normally counseling sessions are held as per schedule drawn by the Study Centers. These are mostly held during the non-working hours of the host institutions where the study centers are located. (d) Practical/Project Work : Some programmes have practical/project components also. Practical are held at designated institutions for which schedule is provided by the Study Centers. Attendance at practical is compulsory. Keeping in tune with the flexibility as regards choice of time for study one way is to skip practical during a year but fordoing it in a subsequent year or in order to have a repeat exercise, additional fee determined by the university has to be paid. For project work, Study Centers will provide the necessary guidance but the learner will have to manage his / her own resources. The evaluation of learners mainly depends upon various instructional activities undertaken by them. A learner has to write assignment responses compulsorily before taking term-end examination from time to time to complete the academic programme. EXAM INATIONS 1) As far as possible, yearend examination will be started before the end of the session and result will be declared approximately within 45 days after the completion of examinations. 2) For any delay due to any unavoidable reason, candidates have to bear with us for the delay and no representation or claim will be entertained on account of this. 3) Please note that all examinations are to be conducted by the University under its control and supervision. Dispute, if any 1) In case of any dispute, the decision of the Vice Chancellor or statutory bodies of Magadh University shall be final & binding on all parties. 2) For any matter the legal jurisdiction shall lie in Gaya court and /or Patna High Court only.
