1.5 About Open & Distance Learning
(ODL)
Alternative learning systems are essential
since the conventional classroom education
system alone cannot achieve the goal of
education for all. The ODL approach has come
a long way from the old model of correspon-
dence courses and distance learning. We now
talk of open learning, flexi-learning and now
the ICT based learning (virtual learning). The
ODL is essentially a student-centric approach
rather than a teacher-centric one. YCMOUs
motto of Dnyanganga Gharoghari (Taking the
Ganga of knowledge to every home) is an apt
statement of ODL. Education on demand,
learning while working, need based and
feasibility-based learning are the essentials of
ODL. This enables optimal use of existing
educational resources, and saving on costs and
time. ODL reduces unit costs of education
without compromising quality. Countries such
as India will be able to make substantial gains
from ODL in their pursuit of education for all.

2. About Academic Services
Division
The Academic Services Division (ASD) is
one of the important Divisions in the YCMOU.
The Academic Services Division is the
research wing of YCMOU. It promotes
research in the areas of Communication and
Distance Education. This Division offers
Ph.D., M.Phil., M.A., M.Com. and M.Sc.
programmes in the areas of Communication
and Distance Education. Communication has
gained an important place in the modern life.
The recent developments, additions and
contributions in the core subject areas are
effectively disseminated through various
communication media.
Therefore, the YCMOU has rightly
provided an option to carry out research in
the subject area along with its communication
aspect. This is a novel area of applied
research; available to students. In addition,
the UGC has granted an equivalence of two
referesher courses (mandatory for college/
university teachers) to such candidates who
complete M.A./M.Com./M.Sc. in subject
communication area, offered by YCMOU.
Subject Communication and Educational
Communication are the two research areas
useful to students in the conventional stream,
while the third research area 'Distance
Education' is useful to teachers in the Open
Universities and other Distance Education
institutes.
The programme structure of M.A./
M.Com./M.Sc. & M.Phil. comprises two
components, namely, theory and research.
These programmes are presently implemented
at eleven study centres in Maharashtra. The
ASD offers those programmes, by keeping
constant contact with the study centres as
well as students. The ASD, thus offers
administrative and academic support to the
students.
The Ph.D. programme is mainly student-
guide centered. The admission and other
procedures are implemented by ASD. Quality
Assurance is always taken care of at every
stage of the programme. Thus, the ASD offers
the innovative and futuristic research
programmes to deserving students.
3. About Programme
3.1 Programme Structure
' Research in Communication' is a
distinctive feature of this Open University.
Students get an opportunity to do research
work in the field of communication through
open and distance mode of learning.
The M.Phil. Programme of the Academic
Services Division of the YCMOU offers
opportunities for developing research
competency in the fields of communication
and distance education. Initially, the following
degree options are available :
M.Phil. (Distance Education)
M.Phil. (Educational Communication)
M.Phil. (Subject Communication)
The M.Phil. degree in subject
communication can be taken in
conventionally accepted subjects depending
upon the academic background e.g. a student
can choose subject communication (Physics),
or subject communication (Sociology) or
subject communication (Hindi) and so on.
Three Areas of Research
The university has offered three areas of
research for the M.Phil. Programme of
Academic Services Division. They are
interdisciplinary in nature and related to
communication as an organised activity for
educational purpose.
Research areas :
1. Distance Education
2. Educational Communication
3. Subject Communication
1. Distance Education
This area is related to educational
communication organized in a distance
education stream. It has five characteristics.
They are as follows.
(a) The teacher and the learner are at
distance. They are separated from
each other.
(b) Two-way communication between
student and teacher is possible
through contact sessions and
assignments.
(c) This setting uses different forms of
media such as print, telephone,
audio/video, computer, etc.
(d) Students independent study is
expected in this setting and they can
practice it. Self learning is more
emphasized in this setting.
(e) This setting is student centered. It
has accepted an industrial form of
education and labelled education as
an industry. Major emphasis here is
on developing communication
strategies in distance education.
2. Educational Communication
Like area of Distance Education, the
primary emphasis here is on communication
strategy / media in the setting of conventional
/ formal / nonformal education. This setting
has the following main features :
(a) Face to face teaching,
(b) Fixed organisational set-up,
(c) Pre-determined curricula,
(d) Fixed time schedule and
(e) End examination as the main
feature of evaluation system.
This setting is well known to the majority
of people who have received their education
through the formal system.
3. Subject Communication
It is a novel interdisciplinary area and
aims at developing effective strategies for
communication of specific content area or
messages to the different target groups.
Unlike the first two areas, the primary
emphasis here is on content and not on the
strategies or media. The strategies are
developed and tried out only in the context
of the specific subject or topic.
For example, while teaching a particular
topic like Theory of Intelligence from
Psychology, various effective ways/media/
methods can be searched for taking into
account the special features of the topic
selected. Thus, the primary focus is on the
topic or the content while the media /
strategy/method have subordinate role to
play.
3.2 Details of the Programme
This programme is divided into two parts.
1. Theory courses
(Assignments, Term papers and End
Examination)

Academic Services Division.
(Details about End Examination and
Evaluation Pattern are given on page 8 to 11.)
(3) Dissertation
Specialization of the M.Phil. degree will
depend upon area chosen for the dissertation.
For the degree in educational
communication, student will be expected to
choose an area related to communication of
educational ideas and may include
examination of curriculum and methods of
teaching.
For the degree in the subject
communication, the student will be expected
to choose an area from his/her own special
subject from the conventional disciplines. It
will be necessary for the topic to be related to
the communication of special ideas in a
subject. For instance, one may decide to
investigate how videos may be used for the
teaching of Physics at a certain level of
education and such a degree can be called
M.Phil. Subject Communication (Physics).
The M.Phil. programme has been planned
in such a manner that the course Research
Methods will equip the students with the
knowledge and skills to conduct research.
Other three courses will enable the student
to examine special subject area from the point
of view of communication of ideas and find
out suitable topics for research.
The YCMOU offers unique opportunity to
conduct research in the area of
communication. The student has two options,
first one pertains to developing a research
product (specially developed for the topic)
while the second refers to the research project,
specially undertaken for the topic. However,
the submission of dissertation (typed report)
for both categories is mandatory.
Research Product
When a product, e.g. a self created
written instructional text or a video film or a
computer - assisted learning material or a set
of testing items, is a part of the research work,
such research involves development of a
product.
It is also necessary for students to submit
a dissertation along with the product
describing features of the processes involved
in developing the research product. Ple as e
n o t e t h at i n s uc h c as e s s t ude n t s are
e xpe c t e d t o s ubmit a re s e arc h re port and
not me re l y a c re at e d produc t . In other
words, the students are expected to give the
relevant details of the process involved in a
textual form, even if product is in the form of
a video or an audio programme. Students'
guide will provide the necessary direction in
this regard.
3.3 Opportunities for those holding
these degrees
Persons with the degrees mentioned in
point 3.1 can have excellent prospects in the
conventional educational systems, in the open
and distance education systems as well as in
areas where development of communication
strategies is necessary. It is relevant to point
out that the governments at the Central and
the State level are investing large funds in
the establishment of distance and open
education systems at the school, college and
university levels. Similarly, the distance
education methodology is being increasingly
used in government and private agencies for
training of the staff.
Specifically, the M.Phil. degree can be
useful for the following categories of persons.
(i) Those who wish to teach at the
college or university level.
(ii) Those who wish to get an additional
increment in advance for M.Phil.
degree at the time of appointment
as a lecturer.
(iii) Useful to junior college teachers,
who are eligible for selection grade
for improving the educational
qualification.
(iv) Those who wish to work at open
universities.
At present there are a few number
of open universities in the country
and several conventional
universities have distance education
or correspondence education
centres. There are several
opportunities at these existing
organisations since there is a
shortage of people with such
qualifications. States also have plans
to start open schools and open
universities, which may
offer attractive opportunities in
future.
Those who possess the qualification
in Distance Education have bright
future in this area.
(v) Those who wish to conduct research
at the Ph.D. level.
In most universities, M.Phil. is a
necessary/preferred qualification
for conducting Ph.D. level research.
(vi) There are different areas of
communicational Research such as
media research, extension
education, adult education,
community education, etc. Those
who wish to conduct research at
M.Phil. level can work in these areas.
Since the M.Phil. programme of the
YCMOU focusses on the applied aspect of
research, students will be equipped to handle
communication tasks in a variety of areas
including print and non- print media for
related fields. Holders of the YCMOU degrees
may have opportunities in industrial sector
needing persons with skills in print and non-
print communication.
The rules, terms and conditions, fee
structures and all other particulars mentioned
in this prospectus are regarding the three
areas of specialisation mentioned in section
3.1 only (These are applicable to the M.Phil.
programme offered by Academic Services
Division). The rules, terms and conditons, and
other particulars mentioned in prospectus for
M.Phil. programmes of YCMOU other than the
present one do not apply to this programme.
3.4 Transfer of Credit to P.G.
Programme
If M.Phil. student wishes to register
himself/herself for P.G.Programme, there is
a provision for transfer of credit during or
after the completion of M.Phil. Programme.
The credit for the theory courses can be
transferred to our P.G.degrees and students
can submit only the research project and avail
of masters degree.
The U.G.C. has recognised YCMOUs P.
G. degree course in subject communication
as equivalent to two Refresher Courses.
If M.Phil. student wishes to register for
M.Ed. programme, there is a provision for
transfer of credit during or after the
completion of M.Phil. Programme. The credit
for the four theory courses can be transfered
to our M.Ed. programme. In addition to that
student is required to submit the research
project and complete two theory courses
thereby can avail M.Ed. degree.
The option of credit transfer can be
availed up to three years after the completion
of course after which there will be no
opportunity for credit transfer.
The credit transfer facility from PG or
M.Ed. programme to M.Phil. is also available.
In such cases, the student shall be required
to complete the additional tasks. (The existing
as well as revised rules for credit transfer shall
be applicable to each student.)
3.5 Research Guide
The university has exhaustive list of
experts in the specialised fields spread all over
Maharashtra. A research guide will be
selected by student as per the specialisation
and geographical vicinity. Hence, it is
obligatory for the student to work under the
guidance of the selected guide.
The student is expected to select and
finalize the research topic and conduct the
research in consultation with his guide and
conduct the research work to his / her
satisfaction.
Student should select the guide as per
their specialization area. In case, the student
is unable to select the suitable guide, the
university would help him/her to provide the
suitable guide.
Please note that if you have selected
subject communication as the Research Area,
it is essential that the Research Guide should
also possess educational qualification in the
same subject. e.g., if your research topic falls

be taken both in the case of theory
paper & dissertation. The total marks
assigned for dissertation shall be 300.
6.3.3 The marks of Continuous Assessment
(CA) and End Examination (EE) will be
calculated as per weightage of each
theory course.
Example : CA & EE weightage of 3:7
(0.3 X marks of Continuous
Assessment) + (0.7 X marks of End
Examination)
e.g. Continuous Assessment - 75

The Registrar / Director
Of all the Indian Universities
(Deemed, State, Central Universities /
Institutions of National importance)
Subject : Recognition of Degrees awarded by Open Universities.
Sir/Madam,
There are a number of open Universities in the country offering various degrees/diploma through
the mode of non-formal education. The Open Universities have been established in the country by
an Act of Parliament or State Legislature in accordance with the provisions contained in Section
2(f) of University Grants Commission Act, 1956. These universities are, therefore, empowered to
award degrees in terms of Section 22(1) of the UGC Act, 1956.
A circular was earlier issued vide UGC letter N.F.1-8/92(CPP) dated February, 1992 mentioning
that the Certificate, Diplomas and Degrees awarded by Indira Gandhi National Open University are to
be treated equivalent to the corresponding awards of the Universities in the country.
Attention is further invited to UGC circular No.F1-25/93(CPP-II) dated 28
th
July, 1993 (copy
enclosed) for recognition of degrees and diplomas as well as transfer of credit for courses successfully
completed by students between the two types of universities so that the mobility of students from Open
University stream to traditional Universities is ensured without any difficulty.
The UGC has specified the nomenclature of degrees under Section 22(3) of the UGC Act, 1956 to
ensure mandatory requirements viz. minimum essential academic inputs required for awarding such
degrees. A copy of Gazette Notification regarding specification of degrees issued vide No.1-52/97(CPP-
II) dated 31
st
January 2004 is enclosed. The details are also given in UGC Web site : www.ugc.ac.in
May, I therefore request you to treat the Degrees / Diploma / Certificates awarded by the Open
Universities in conformity with the UGC notification on Specification of Degrees as equivalent to
the corresponding awards of the traditional Universities in the country.
Yours faithfully
(Dr. Mrs. Pankaj Mittal)
