5.1 How to Decide Your Time Schedule?The University offers a lot of flexibility and openness in the courses and duration for the completionof programmes. You should take full advantage of this flexibility. As indicated earlier you can completethis programme in 2 year if you clear 36 credits of courses every year. If you are not able to completeit within this period you can take a maximum of 5 years to complete it. It would be better if you planit in a systematic way. For two years you will receive study material and assignments according toyour options but it is upto you to decide which courses you will complete in a particular year.Completion of a course would involve studying the course, completing the assignments and appearingin term end examination. If you are busy elsewhere and not able to fully devote yourself to theprogramme, you should fix your targets every year. If you feel that instead of 36/30 credits you woulddo only 24 or 16 credits plan it from the beginning of the year, study only these courses, do theassignments for them and appear for term end examination in these courses. Carry over the rest tonext year. Again next year, decide your goals for that year. Whenever you decide to do theprevious year’s course ask for fresh assignments in the month of November/December fromJt. Registrar, Material Production and Distribution Division at the Headquarters in theprescribed forms printed in this programme guide, and submit them according to the scheduleand appear in the term end examination. By a proper planning every year, you can complete thisprogramme according to your convenience. As mentioned earlier, completion of field work practicumof previous year is mandatory for starting field work practicum for the second year. However, youcan appear for term end examination of second year.6.FEE STRUCTURE AND SCHEDULE OF PAYMENTThe University will keep changing the fee from time to time and one will have to find out the detailsfrom the Study Centre/Regional Centre.
