Here is some FAQs
1. Does Mumbai University offer course outside Mumbai?
Mumbai University strictly adhere to territorial jurisdiction and in true sense provide quality distance education. In fact, the programmes are rigorous than many full time colleges. It offers courses only through online admission or government appointed mahaonline centres. No middleman, no franchisee or private agencies are involved. Exams are conducted within its jurisdiction, in only affiliated colleges in Mumbai, Thane, Raigadh, Sindhudurg and Ratnagiri districts. It is done at the same time along with regular students for all university exams.
Courses are not offered beyond these 4 districts, not even in Maharashtra.
2. Are these courses recognized by Distance Education Bureau (DEB) of UGC?
As of now, University of Mumbai does not feature in the list of institute recognized by DEB for the year 2015, whereas many crap and violating institutes like Jaipur National University, money making scam runner SCDL features. Possibly UGC wants an affidavit from Mumbai University promising not violating territorial jurisdiction and franchisee. I am sure Mumbai University will easily manage the DEB approval due to its fair conduct.
3. Does lack of DEB approval affect me?
Not really. As already said, it may easily get DEB approval. DEB approval is mainly required for securing a government job. If you do not get DEB approval till final year admission, you can easily transfer your admission to a regular full time colleges (and yes, many such regular full time colleges do not bother about your attendance either). You will be well eligible for job in private sector as well as for higher education.
4. How is Mumbai University in terms of student support?
It has improved a lot, but still lacks in many things. However, my interaction with current IDOL in charge director Dr. Ambuja Salgaonkar who is a doctorate and MCA seems to be very innovative, taking efforts to improve the whole process. There is posters posted all over the IDOL building asking students to write directly to the director, if they face any issue. Even email id is available on website. Yes, course structure has not been developed, materials are not in SIM (Self Instructional Material) format, staff need to sensitise a lot about handling students. You may go ahead.
5. I have completed my graduation under open university system from YCMOU, IGNOU, other state universities, other open universities. Am I eligible for admission in IDOL?
Yes, you are eligible. Please read instruction carefully and complete all the process.
6. Is evaluation and other pattern same for IDOL as well as regular students?
no. For regular students, CBCS (Choice Based Credit System) and internals exist. It does not exist for IDOL students (Sadly) and it makes the exam tough than a regular one. Also, subject choice for IDOL students are limited.
7. Does IDOL provide lecture support?
Yes, IDOL does it well. Please see calendar.
8. Does IDOL verify marksheets?
Yes, they do it well. Thats why a company recruiting IDOL student even no need to bother about background verification of educationcal qualification. Hardly any university in India do it. It is need of the hour.
9. Is degree from IDOL has print as distance learning in the certificate?
Yes, in convocation also, it is written as distance learning/ external.
10. Does such mention of distance learning mode create problem for me?
May or may not be. Institutes like SBI do not accept a distance learning degree, same about NTPC and universities like NMIMS and few more.
11. Does University of Mumbai offer D.Ed., B.Ed., M.Ed., MBA in distance mode?
No, it does not.
