Aurangabad, Sept 20:

Those who are in-service will now be able to pursue postgraduate courses without attending daily classes within the jurisdiction of Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar Marathwada University through online mode.

It may be noted that youths have to attend classes and show required attendance in regular undergraduate and postgraduate courses colleges and universities. So, those who are in-service cannot take admission to any course because of attendance conditions. Most of the education institutes, including colleges and universities, imparted online learning during the two years of the Covid outbreak.

This gave the idea that online learning can be done for some courses through the latest technology and facilities. The university decided to launch two online PG courses, for the first time in its history, for the academic year 2022-23, considering the importance of learning through digital. It has established a Centre for Online Education Platform (COEP) to conduct two online courses initially. Bamu officers said that number of courses would be increased as per the demand and requirements in future.
