Admission for CDOE in Periyar University increases; four new courses introduced
The admission for the Centre for Distance and Online Education (CDOE) in Periyar University has increased this year and the university has received approval from the University Grants Commission Distance Education Bureau (UGC-DEB) to offer four new courses from this academic year. Periyar University, in the name of Periyar Institute of Distance Education (PRIDE), offered 145 courses through distance education from 2001. Following various allegations, UGC had cancelled the approval given for PRIDE in 2015. In 2020, PRIDE again received UGC approval for running 13 courses only, including four postgraduate courses. Later, the name of PRIDE was changed to CDOE. In 2021, the university launched the online degree programme in collaboration with private firms and in July 2024, the UGC barred Periyar University from offering these online degree courses for two academic years. Due to this, admissions came to a halt. In September 2024, the UGC committee inspected the university and in October, they were given permission to admit students for four PG courses: MCA, MA English, and Mathematics in distance education mode and MBA in online mode. The university administration took various steps to offer more courses, and last week, the UGC-DEB gave its approval to offer four more PG courses (MA in Tamil, History, Economics, and Sociology) through distance education mode. Officials attached to the CDOE said that last year, due to approval being provided to run five PG courses in October, only 54 students enrolled for the same. This year, as on July 31, 2025, the admission for these courses crossed 250. As four more courses were introduced this year, we expect admissions will increase further. Based on the request from the students, M.A. Sociology, history, and economics were offered both in Tamil and English mediums. Apart from these nine UG programmes, the CDOE offers four diploma programmes (one year) and eight certificate programmes (six months). Similarly, through 10 learning support centres in Dharmapuri, Krishnagiri, Namakkal, and Salem districts, admissions are offered for these courses, officials added. Meanwhile, in a release, Periyar University said that interested candidates can obtain detailed information and submit their applications through the official website of the University's CDOE at Admissions are being conducted on all working days, including Saturdays, at the university's CDOE campus. For further inquiries or assistance related to admissions, students shall contact the CDOE office at 0427-2345918, 2345258, or 94447-08425, the release added.
