According to a nationwide perception survey by Careers 360 magazine and Yahoo! India, on distance learning, the Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU) ranks number one for the year 2011.
Yashwantrao C Maharash-tra Open University in Nasik has been ranked second, followed by IMT Distance and Open Learning Institute in Ghaziabad. Delhi University is ranked 16th.
IGNOU also ranks first in resources and reach of the university. The university caters to Gyanvani, an educational FM radio network, providing programmes covering different aspects and levels of education including primary and secondary education, adult education, technical and vocational education, higher education and extension education.
It also has a dedicated educational TV channel called Gyan Darshan which broadcasts lectures by the faculty members of the university.
Yashwantrao C Maharash-tra Open University stands second followed by Uttar Pradesh’s Rajarshi Tandon Open University at third position, Annamalai University at fourth and Dr BR Ambedkar Open University at fifth place. The Delhi University is ranked at the sixth position in its resources and reach.
The Universe for Open and Distance Learning Institutes (ODLIs) in India comprises 249 institutes. Out of which, 188 institutes are currently offering distance education programmes. Given the nature of operations of ODLIs and the lack of adequate data with the Distance Education Council (DEC) as also in the public domain, shortlisting of top 50 institutions was done by the magazine on the basis of student enrollment data. The logic behind this was the popularity of the institutions based on the number of admissions.
Careers360 then sent letters to these 50 institutions and based on the responses received from the institute as well as the data supplied by DEC, 32 institutes were chosen for ranking purpose. Further, visits were made to all the institutes which responded as well as to select study centres of others to build a database.
The input primarily looked at the reach, infrastructure and diversity of the institutions in providing distance education.
The process emphasised on the quality of resources and delivery mechanism, while output focused on the performance of the institute in facilitating the student in getting a better prospect.
