Admission to the programme shall be based on eligibility criteria prescribed by Jagat Guru Nanak Dev Punjab State Open University, Patiala. Candidates must possess the required UG/PG qualification from a recognized institution. Applicants shall submit the completed application form along with necessary documents within the stipulated period. Selection will be made as per university norms and notified guidelines.

The students’ progress is measured through the means of continuous evaluation and semester end-term examinations. This will include assignments, activities and other tasks. Assignments help the learners to recapitulate the theory and go back to the text again in case they are unable to answer a particular question. Thus, assignments also help to reinforce learning in the distance learning system of education. The assignments will consist of a set of questions and activities that have to be answered by the programme participants by remaining at their own place. Students will be required to obtain forty percent marks as pass percentage in each assignment separately. Each Course will have 2 assignments and assignments will carry 30% of course weightage. Semester-end examination is the major component of the evaluation system and carries seventy percent weightage in the final result. The University conducts term-end examination twice a year i.e., in June and December. The learners can take the examination only after the completion of the course, failing which they can take the same in December or June of subsequent years but within the total span of the programme. In case any student fails to get a pass score in the semester-end Examination, they will be eligible to reappear in the next semester-end Examination for that course as and when it is held but within the total span of the Programme only. In order to claim Certificate in the Course, the candidate is required to score at least 40% marks in both continuous evaluation i.e. in assignments as well as in term-end examinations separately.

30% Weightage for continuous evaluation (assignments) and 70% for semester-end examinations. Pass percentage is 40% in each component separately.
