The YCMOU has been established by an Act (XX of 1989) of the Maharashtra State Legislature
on 1 July 1989 and has been recognized under section 12(B) of the UGC Act 1956. The UGC has
recognized the degrees and diplomas awarded by state open universities like YCMOU to be on par
with degrees and diplomas awarded by any other traditional university in the similar subject areas. The
Government of Maharashtra has also mentioned the qualifications earned at the YCMOU to be
acceptable under the recruitment and promotion rules. The qualifications awarded by the YCMOU are
recognized to be on par with the qualification of the similar level (UG degree, PG degree, diploma, etc)
of similar subject areas after due consideration of the entry qualification, duration of the program and
course contents by other traditional universities.
The university being an autonomous body has liberty to design, implement and award
qualifications which may not be similar to the design, methodologies and content of other traditional
universities or statutory Boards or Councils at national or state levels. The programs designed by the
university are as per the guidelines issued by the University Grants Commission from time to time. The
qualifications awarded by the university in respect of such programs are not designed to be equivalent
to the diplomas awarded by other universities or Boards in formal sense. The university will not be
issuing any certificate or letter to that effect to any students or candidates. The candidates are advice to
take informed decisions in this regard.
1.4 Which are the salient features of academic programs? How do the teaching and learning take
place in YCMOU?
The students would work in the actual work situations to complete the program. These academic
programs are designed for non-working and working students as well. With some time management
and determination, the student can easily complete these programmes while continuing his/her job,
profession or other education.
Well-qualified counsellors at Study Centre solve student’s difficulties, during the counselling
sessions. Students have to perform practical only at the study centre laboratories, during practical
sessions, under supervision and guidance of counsellors.
Activities at the study centres are organized daily and specially on holidays, normally at time
convenient to the student. Normally the study centre is situated nearer to student’s place for his
convenience. The continuous assessment (CA) is conducted to facilitate feed back to the learners on
the progress of their learning. Practice Examination for each theory course may be conducted at the
study centre to provide feedback to students about their study. It also prepares the student for the end
examination.
The End Examination held once in a semester or year for all courses, are conducted directly by
the university. For some of the courses, the university may conduct the Online On demand
examinations.
Page 8
Prospectus: School of Continuing Education
The Schools/Division are headed by Directors who arrange to plan, supervise, develop and organise the
various activities related to academic programs assigned to their respective Schools. These activities
mainly include designing an academic program (which includes defining parameters such as courses,
curricula, fee structure, evaluation methods, teaching-learning strategies, etc) and development of the
program (which includes preparation of the learning and evaluation resources such as printed books,
multimedia content, question bank items along with model answers, blue-print of question paper, etc.)
The Schools also provide support to the offices of Controller of Examinations, Evaluation Division,
Registration Section, Stores and Dispatch in providing expert inputs (such as information on counsellors,
experts to be used as examiners, infrastructures expected at the Study Centres to carry out instructions and
examination activities) to carry out their administrative functions. The Schools place policy documents as
items for considerations and decisions to the authorities like Academic Council, Planning Board, Finance
Committee, Board of Examinations and Board of Management. This enables these authorities to take
decisions of academic, legal and administrative nature.
1.6 What are the various types of courses and how are they evaluated?
A program consists of a number of courses as mentioned in the course structure for that program in this
document. Some courses are core courses and it is compulsory to study such courses. Some other courses
are electives and a student has a choice to opt any one of the courses from a group of such elective
courses. Some other courses are audit courses. That means that the student needs to only successfully
complete such courses and the marks or grades obtained in such courses do not affect the aggregate score
of marks or the cumulative performance of the student or the overall division or class or grade in the
program.
Some courses are Theory-cum-practical courses which involve theoretical understanding of concepts as
well as practical session based on the theoretical concepts. The evaluation of such courses has both theory
as well as practical components.
Yet another kind of courses are Project courses in which the learner is expected to undertake a task
which involves a fairly large number of connected practical activities leading to fulfilment of a well-
defined objective of practical significance. The entire exercise in such cases is so big that student can not
perform the practical activity in the limited time period of the examination schedule. Hence the evaluation
Page 9
Prospectus: School of Continuing Education
of the performance is judged though the Project Report and Presentation/Viva Voce conducted by the
expert panel.
The evaluation pattern for each of the program is elaborated in the program-specific part.
1.07 SIMULTANEOUS REGISTRATION
The UGC has stipulated about how many programs can be registered simultaneously by a student. The
letter of UGC is given at the Appendix 3.
1.08 RE-REGISTRATION
The student is registered to a Program for a duration which is equal to three times the duration of the
program or eight years whichever is less. Thus, if you take admission in a Diploma program of 1 year
duration, you may complete the program by clearing all the courses in three years time. On the other
hand, if you take admission in a graduate program of three years duration, the registration is valid for 8
years. If you could not complete the program in the stipulated time, your performance in the examinations
for the program shall be treated as null and void.
1.09 RE-ADMISSION
If a student fails to complete the program in stipulated duration as mentioned in the Section 1.08 above,
he may seek readmission to the same or similar program as a fresh candidate. You will need to take
admission afresh and clear all the courses as per the requirements of the program. You may avail the
course exemptions to the courses which were successfully completed by you under the old program, if the
exemption rules for the specific program to which you seek admission.
1.10 RESERVATION
For those programs in which there are limited seats, some of the candidates are to be denied admission.
The reservation policy of the State of Maharashtra is used to allocate the seats to the candidates. A merit
list based on the criteria as mentioned in the additional information of the specific program is prepared.
Fifty per cent seats are earmarked to unreserved (UR) candidates. This means that allocation to these seats
is done on the basis of high score in the merit list without consideration to the cast or category of
reservation. The remaining fifty percent seats are filled according to the following table.

aggregate is treated as successful as she has secured more than 40% in EE and more than 40% in
aggregate.)
6. There are standard errors of measurements (SEM) in any measurement process, including the
psychometric process of student evaluation. To make up for injustice which may cause to examinees
failing to secure required minimum marks by less than 1 SEM of marks, “grace” marks are awarded only
for the Theory courses and Theory part of the Theory-cum-practical courses. There shall be grace marks
awarded to examinees to the extent of 4% of maximum marks for the aggregate (CA+EE). Such grace
marks shall be added to EE part only if the result of such operation results in the examinee becoming
successful in completion of the course. Thus, for theory course of 100 marks (EE+CA), examinees who
secured EE marks (out of 80) of 28,29,30 and 31 shall be given grace marks of 4,3,2,1 respectively,
provided such addition results in the successful completion of the course. The modified marks shall be
shown in the EE part of the mark statement.
7. For Practical Courses an end examination of maximum marks, shown in the course structure, shall
be conducted at an examination centre with the facilities of laboratory for conduct of practical activities.
8. The examinees, for the Practical courses, shall be evaluated with the following criteria. Actual
Performance of the examinee shall carry a weight of 60%, the workbook Journal 20 %, and a Viva of 20
%. A candidate must secure 40% or more marks out of 100 marks to successfully complete the practical
courses.

test and seminars to be set, organized and evaluated by the respective study centre. The marks obtained by
each student (with maximum marks 20% of the total for Theory part) in a format given in by examination
section must be submitted by the SC before the commencement of the EE, to the CoE. The mark
statement of the students shall be displayed on the Notice Board by the SC and shall be uploaded by the
YCMOU on its websites.
11. The EE (with maximum marks of 80% of total for the Theory part) for a Theory-plus-practical
Course shall be set, organized and evaluated under supervision and control of the Controller of
Examination, YCMOU. The EE shall consist of compulsory questions of 5 marks each. For example, a
Theory-plus-Practical course may be of total 150 marks with 100 marks for Theory part (20 marks for
CA, 80 for EE) and 50 marks for Practical part.
12. For Practical Examination for Theory-plus-practical Course, an end examination, of maximum
marks shown in the course structure, shall be conducted at an examination centre with the facilities of
laboratory for conduct of practical activities. The examinee shall be evaluated with the following criteria.
Actual Performance of the examinee shall carry a weight of 60%, the workbook Journal 20 %, and a Viva

marks for CA, 80 for EE) and 50 marks for Practical part. A person who secures more than 40 % marks in
Total 150 Marks but fails in Theory Component will be treated as having failed in the given Theory-plus-
practical course. Such a student must appear in the theory component EE and secure such marks that his
aggregate in the theory component is better than 40%. Similarly a student not securing more than or equal
to 40% Marks in practical shall be declared unsuccessful and will have to reappear as a repeater in the
practical component as per the rule. In case a student does not successfully complete a Theory-plus-
practical Course, (s)he may take the following examination as a repeater: End Examination, if he had
failed in Combined End Examination plus Continuous assessment part. (b) Practical Examination, if he
