In good news for students, especially those in the rural areas, the All India Society for Electronics and Computer Technology (Aisect) will offer many job-oriented courses in association with Indira Gandhi National Open University (Ignou).
Aisect will be offering courses in information technology, hardware and networking, along with livelihood and vocational training programmes in association with the world's largest open university at its 1,800 centres, mostly located in rural and semiurban areas. "Our objective is to reach every potential learner in the country, especially those who don't have access to quality education in villages. We will offer state-of-the-art courses offered by Ignou through our centres," Aisect registrar Pushpa Asiwal told reporters at the launch of the courses in Nagpur.
The society also offers courses run by the Bilaspur-based CV Raman University, which was established by it. "Our basic focus is on students from rural and backward areas as they hardly get a chance to learn new courses. We will be offering them 40% discount and scholarships for pursing these courses, which would assure them of a good future. The programmes are generally taught online and we also have expert faculties at various centres," Asiwal added.
In the first phase, around 1,000 centres across the country would be utilised for starting Ignou courses. "In the first phase, we will start with short-term courses and gradually introduce professional, high-end courses like MBAs. Our strong network spread in rural areas is our biggest advantage along with facility of pursuing courses in English as well as Hindi," Aisect manager for Nagpur district Ritesh Sharma said.
He added that last date for admission to all courses is December 10. Aisect plans to open 144 centres in the country by March 31. In Nagpur region, the society has six centres at Butibori, Mouda, Patur near Akola and Chandrapur.
