Of the six Directorates the Learner Support Services Division is the key department through which activities relating to teaching-learning are organized involving students and teachers at the study centre level.  LSSD enrolls students, organizes face-to-face contact sessions, and extends other forms of academic support to its students.  They also arrange laboratory science practical training at the study centres for second and third-year students and intensive coaching programmes (for some Subjects/Programmes) known as “Summer/Winter Schools”.  These include lectures by experts in the subject and form part of the student support services.  The student services branch thus serves as an information bureau; as an office for the admission of students to various courses of study; and as a channel of communication between the university and its students.

 

The Study Centres provide opportunities for teacher-student and student-student interaction.  Students select the study centre of their choice keeping in view the programmes offer.  Each study centre is headed by a Joint Director/Deputy Director/Asst.Director/Co-ordinator.
