They are: M.A., Urdu; MA, English; Diploma in Journalism and Mass Communication; Diploma in Teaching English; Certificate Course in Proficiency in Urdu through English and; Certificate Course in Functional English.
The letter also stated that the Distance Education Committee of UGC which met in November last considered that the programmes which were recommended by the Expert Committee in September 2011 but did not receive approval as those programmes were not being offered through regular mode. “Now, the University has informed that these programmes are being offered through regular mode,” therefore, it has accorded permission to run the courses.
