The open distance learning system in India provides many courses such as undergraduate, postgraduate and doctoral programs through different universities that make the candidates skilled enough to pursue their career. These courses are meant for the people who cannot pursue the regular courses. The students who haven’t completed a regular school education can also avail the opportunity to take up vocational diploma and certificate level courses.
Difference between Regular University and Open University
The major differences between the Regular University and Open University in India are as follows:
The open education is provided through the universities that provide admission for the candidates through different modes like distance and online learning programs. The open degree education does not require any college affiliation while the regular degree education definitely requires affiliations to different colleges which are under traditional universities.

They can also pursue any University degree after completing their open education course.
Through the open University model, we can understand that education does not have any boundaries and it is a very noble thing that it should be accessible to all the people who come from various strata of the society and from different kinds of lifestyles.
The government institutions in all the countries have made education accessible to all the people depending on the need and affordability of different types of students. Therefore, this type of education was introduced through different kinds of modes so that it is reaches to any type of candidates.
The government has provided a greatest benefit in the form of open universities which are very beneficial for students who can't pursue a full time or regular education. There are many different reasons why the people can't pursue the regular education. The major reasons being affordability, distance and medical issues.
The MHRD that is the department of higher studies of ministry of human resource and development explains that this mode of learning system includes the mode and timing of teaching wherein the teachers and learners may or may not be present at the same time or in the same place. The learning and admission criteria may be relaxed depending on the situation of the candidate.
Advantages of learning thought Open Universities
In this system of education that admissions are granted to the candidates not basing on the minimum education obtained by the candidate, their experience or other references. Therefore, many students can opt for the distance learning so as to fulfil their educational needs.
As the open universities don't need to follow any particular classroom teaching methods, this type of education is highly affordable to all kinds of people who may be working or non-working people also.
Distance education through the open universities enhance the skills and provide quality education to the students who in very remote areas, people who have health issues and also to the people who are not physically able to attend the classes regularly.
One of the special features of this kind of universities is that there is no limit as per age and the person can pursue higher education from any point of time in his life. These universities work under UGC purview. Therefore, they all are approved and are valid for any job vacancies also.
Another advantage of open universities is that they offer a lot of relaxation in the duration of the program making it flexible enough for the candidate to complete the program by extending the duration. The main aim of the open universities is to provide opportunity to each and every candidate and provide in equipping them with ample knowledge to improve their way of living. Open University can allow admissions without any limit for example IGNOU has around 3.5 million students.
The candidates who have a gap in their education due to the difference in years because of medical or financial reasons can resume education through open universities.
The candidates from weaker section of the society can make themselves skilled and achieve a great career through the correspondence courses which are offered by the open University. The students may not bother about attendance marking and the materials for study will be sent to them through post. The students who have not scored enough marks in their intermediate education can also opt for distance education.
