Distance education has always been preferred by the students for many reasons. Students who were unable to complete their educational carrier for jobs or any other reason can now do that easily by this procedure. This structure emphasizes on self-study more than classroom teachings. Students can easily complete their syllabus by sitting at home and even clear their queries relating to the course from home itself. This has been possible only through the involvement of technology through which students get to come in contact with the faculties and easily debate and ask their doubts.
