To facilitate student learning we offer these programmes in THREE MODES.

( a ) Correspondence

( b ) Distance Learning

( c )e-Learning

A student is expected to choose the programme very carefully. Normally a programme once selected is difficult to change.

As a word of advice if change is to effected it should be done in the 1st Semester only.

Any queries of the students is recorded, investigated on priority and normally responded within 3-4 days. Under no circumstance students’ problem is left unattended at any level.

A meeting to this effect is also held daily to coordinate responses. To further streamline the system you are requested while raising your problem gives all your credentials like: Roll No., Batch, programme, Tel. No. email etc. and address the queries to the concerned person.

The Person/s you will interact with: -

a ) Other than Noida your respective coordinator.

b ) Mr. Vikash Verma, Programme Officer for Result.

c ) Mr. Rakesh Mishra Programme Officer for Assignments related queries.

d ) Mr. Subash Chand, Accounts Officer for fees related queries.

However if your problems not address within 15 days do not hesitate to send a reminder with a copy to me and the Chairman.

A number of measures have been taken to enable students to make their learning fruitful, interactive and to involve them more intimately with the system. Some of these are:–

• PCP

• Course File

• Points Projected by Students through Feed Back Form

• Synergy Club

It is expected that the student enrolled in a centre will remain the student of that particular centre unless he/she is formally allowed to do so. For this you need to obtain a formal approval from the competent authority.

The roots of education are bitter, but the fruit is sweet. Aristotle

All work and no play makes a dull day. ASoDL students actively participate both socially and professionally, through ASoDL SYNERGY Club in enhancing quality of life and studies.
