Diploma Programmes

 INTRODUCTION

Individual needs and society change with time. A curriculum that was very effective and useful may become irrelevant due to variety of factors. It may also happen that most updated and complete curriculum become irrelevant since it does not suit needs and interests of individuals. In situations when schools/colleges teach subjects containing out-dated information, curriculum becomes the bottleneck for knowledge generation. At the same time, a new curriculum which yet to has gain social recognition and acceptability might produce students having no employment prospects. We need to review, revise or change curricula according to changing educational needs. In this context, we have introduced Diploma courses according to the present scenario. The objective of offering diverse Diploma courses by Tamilnadu Council for Open and Distance Learning is to enable students to acquire knowledge in various fields and also use that knowledge in any career associated with the field of study chosen. The courses offered now have been designed to include not only the study of the conventional courses, but also subjects which are gaining importance in the developing scenario of the country. This approach is intended to enable an aspirant to acquaint himself / herself with best quality knowledge so as to benefit his / her career and in the development of nation.
