Overview

So far, more than 60,000 applications have been received for the BSc qualifying process, and more than 12,500 students from India and abroad are currently enrolled in the BSc program. One of the program’s highlights is the diversity of the learners in terms of student age (18-65 years), role (students from various educational backgrounds – commerce, arts, science, engineering, management, medicine, and law, among others, working professionals from various industry sectors), and learners hailing from more than 25 countries.
