The Association of Indian Universities has rated this University as one of the top ten universities in the country attracting overseas students. The University has been given a permanent membership by the Association of Indian Universities, which is the national level organization for Indian Universities. The University is also a Member of Association of Commonwealth Universities.
Today, the access to the higher education is limited to 9% of the students in the age group of 17-23 years. The students belonging to socially disadvantageous classes of the society and those in remote areas have almost no access to higher education. With the rise in tuition fees and the related expenses, the access to higher education is being denied to economically weak but academically bright students.
One of our objectives is to provide educational facilities to poorer and weaker sections of the society. Our aim is to reach the unreached and so Bharati Vidyapeeth University has been proposing to reach the distant learner thorough its School of Distance Education. The Bharati Vidyapeeth University has committed itself to provide Quality education to the prospective students through this alternate mode of learning.
I, extend my warm welcome to all our prospective students of School of Distance Education.
My best wishes to them for successful career.
