Given the geographical extent, population and actual need of Tamil Nadu, the setting up of Tamilnadu Open University by the Government of Tamil Nadu is the right step. We appreciate the Government of Tamil Nadu for having taken this bold and knowledgeable step. This step of the Government of Tamil Nadu shall prove a boon for women, physically challenged, rural poor and marganalised sections of the society and we are committed to support it academically as well as financially. In a short period of six months, TamilNaduOpenUniversity has done a remarkable work. The University, we understand has initiated steps for recruitment and the announcement of programmes, both of which would not have been possible without considerable ground work and are really commendable.

I do open ed. It’s fantastic because you can do it at your own pace. You have 10 yrs. part time to finish a degree. You can choose units from many different universities and there are lots of quite interesting electives. There are many advisors and the tutors are very helpful with open discussions and feedback. You don’t have to make a commitment to any university until you’ve done a few units or not even then if you’re not ready. Good luck. I hope you’ll enjoy it.
