Director : Prof. Jagrup Singh Sekhon

Guru Nanak Dev University started Distance Education from the session 2002-2003 with the aim of

spreading higher education to rural and border areas. Under this programme, a number of technical, professional,

arts, commerce, P.G. Diplomas, Certificate Courses and P.G Degree level courses have been started and they run

parallel to courses offered in the regular mode of education.

Vide the Syndicate meeting (dt. 30-10-2012 para No. 30 and dt. 26.12.2012 para 35) the nomenclature of

Distance Education was changed to Capacity Enhancement Programme and it was decided that higher education

needs to be imparted in remote areas too. The ordinances, syllabi, examinations, evaluation etc. of this programme

are the same as of the regular programme. Unrestricted mobility of students between this programme and

conventional modes of education is the merit of this programme.

During the session 2002-03, the number of Associate Institutes was 36 and 1402 students had been

enrolled. In the session 2012-13, the enrollment has increased to 9,994 and it is expected that during the session

2013-14 approximately 84 Associate Institutes will be operative.

In current session 2013-14, 15 new Associate Institutes are being setup in addition to the existing Instiutes

that have been not only given continuation but also been granted new courses. The quality in delivery of
