PROSPECTUS IN THE FORM OF ANSWERS TO

FREQUESNTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
(We have tried to put the sequence of questions in the logical order of complexities. Thus
questions which should be asked by candidates before he takes admission are placed in the
beginning. These are followed by the questions which may arise after he has taken
admission and then progresses towards examination, certification and post-certification
processes. However, perceptions may differ on sequence in which the questions may be
placed.)
1. KNOW YOUR UNIVERSITY (ABOUT YCMOU)

When was it established? What are its aims, objectives and mission? YCMOU came
into being on 1st July, 1989 by Act XX of the Maharashtra State Legislature. The
University is recognised under section 12 (B) of the UGC Act. (SeeAppendix 1(A))
The Mission statement of the YCMOU can be summarized in the following manner:
“The Yashwantrao Chavan Maharashtra Open University(YCMOU) through its technical,

vocational, professional and liberal education programmes, application of modern
communication technologies and adoption of the distance education methodology strives
towards developing an innovative, flexible and open system of education with the ultimate
goal of becoming a ‘Mass Versity’.”
Objectives
1. To make higher, vocational and technical education available to large sections of the
population.
2. To pay special attention to the needs of the disadvantaged groups, in particular,
people in rural areas and women.
3. To relate all courses to the developmental needs of individuals, institutions and the
State.
4. To provide an innovative, flexible and open system of education by using distance
teaching methodology and by applying modern communication technologies to education.
5. To provide continuing adult and extension education. Special attention to be paid to
retraining adults in new skills to enable them to adjust to a changing technological
environment.
6. To provide post-graduate studies and research opportunities in all fields of
knowledge, especially in educational technology, distance education and development
communication.
Are the qualifications (degrees, diplomas, certificates) accepted for recruitment and
promotion?
Yes, the qualifications (certificate, diploma, degree) are accepted for recruitment and
promotion as per the various policy statements, letters from the UGC, Governments of India
and of State of Maharashtra. Government of Maharashtra has resolved that a person who
has completed the Preparatory Examination of the YCMOU and thereafter has successfully
completed all the courses in First Year of a graduate program of the YCMOU will be
treated on par with persons having completed 12th from a Board (like HSC). The graduate
of this university are entitled to vote in graduate constituencies of State Council as per
rules. You may find these letters at Appendix 1(B) and 1(C).
Page 8
Are the qualifications equivalent to those of other boards, universities or approved by

national level apex bodies like NCTE, AICTE, Rehabilitation Council of India?
The University Grants Commission has granted recognition to the YCMOU under
section 12 (B) of the UGC Act (see Appendix 1(A)), which makes this university
at par with any other statutory university in India. Further, as per the letter dated
14/10/2013 from the UGC, degrees awarded by Open and Distance Learning
institution (including YCMOU) are treated at par with those by conventional
universities (see Appendix 1(D))
The following programs are approved by the National Council for Teacher
Education (NCTE): Bachelor of Education (B.Ed.). (See Appendix 2(A))
The B.Sc. (Media Graphics and Animation) has been approved by UGC.
Regarding the other programs the following may be noted:
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.
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
Page 9
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.
Tell me about the various Schools of Studies under YCMOU?

The YCMOU offers its various academic programs through eight Schools of Studies (or
Schools in short) and one division. These are;
a. School of Humanities and Social Sciences,
b. School of Commerce and Management,
c. School of Education,
d. School of Agriculture Sciences,
e. School of Architecture, Science and Technology,
f. School of Computer Science,
g. School of Continuing Education and
h. School of Health Science.
i. Academic Services Division
The Schools/Divisions 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.
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.
Another way of classification of courses is by its nature.

A course may be theoretical in nature and is evaluated through the written
examination.
Another type of courses is that of practical courses, where students learn the content
through practical or experimental or activities which develop the skill level of the students.
Such courses are evaluated by Practical Examinations which involve performance in the
presence of appointed evaluation panel, evaluation of the examinee’s performance during
the learning phase through evaluation of work-
Page
Prospectus: School of Continuing Education 2022-23
books and further evaluation of examinee’s expression and understanding through

Viva Voce.
A further type of course component is that of Tutorial component, where students learn
the content through practical or experimental or activities which develop the skill level of
the students. The courses whose course content is such that the learning experience through
Laboratory is not possible, there is a provision for Tutorial type of component. The learners
are expected to undertake assignments for one hour per week (as per UGC guidelines) for
the tutorial component, or 30 hours in a semester. The study centers should give such
assignments based on the course content for the specific course and requirement of the
local industries.
The students are expected to maintain a Journal containing all tutorial exercises. The
examination for the tutorial shall be conducted by the University, with the help of External
Examiner and Internal Examiners analogous to the Practical courses.
The end examinations may have the following component :
1. Evaluation of the Tutorial Journal by external and internal examiners; (20% weight,
i.e. 10 out of 50 marks)
2. A viva voce by the external examiner to assess the knowledge of the learner for the
said tutorial component (20% weight, i.e. 10 out of 50 marks for V113 tutorial
component)
3. An evaluation by external examiner based on an activity (like solving a descriptive

question of suitable depth). It may carry 60% weight, i.e. 30 out of 50 marks for V113
tutorial component.
Thus the tutorial component of the theoretical course is analogous to the Practical
component of the courses.
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 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.
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.
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
11
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. 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. In case the courses or the programs have been delisted (not
offered) such readmission will not be possible.
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.

SCHOOLARSHIPS, FREESHIPS, EARN AND LEARN SCHEMES

The candidates belonging to the backward classes are required to follow the procedure
adopted by the Government of Maharashtra (GoM) or Government of India (GoI) to secure
the Scholarship and Freeship as per the rules framed by GoM or GoI.
The University offers programs in which the employing institutions offer a unique advantage
of earning while learning.
WHAT ARE RULES FOR INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS?
The university reserves the right of not offering admission to the International Students or
suspends the process of admitting international students for academic years at its discretion.
Please see whether the category of International Students is available on the online
admission portal.
Please tell me details about the EVALUATION PATTERN.
12
The university wishes to apply uniform set of rules to most of the programs which it
offers. However, there may be different Evaluation Patterns for some programs either
due to differing standards which the apex institutions or the professional bodies for the
profession impose. Candidates are advised to refer to section 2.02 for the Evaluation Pattern
for the program chosen.
(A) GENERAL EVALUATION PATTERN (Applicable to the programs of School of
Continuing Education)
General:
A student shall need to successfully complete all the courses in the academic program
(including Industrial Training course, if any) to successfully complete the academic
program.
The performance at the examinations for all the courses in the academic program (except
those which are “exempted”) shall determine the overall class or division or Cumulative
Grade Performance Average (CGPA).
(A.1) Marks system:
1. For the purpose of evaluation, there shall be five types of courses, namely, (i)Theory
Courses (ii) Practical Course (iii) Theory-plus-practical Courses (iv) Industrial Training Course
(v) Project Course (vi) Term Work
2. For theory courses, there will be two components in examination, namely, (i)
Continuous Assessment (CA) and (ii) End Examination (EE). The maximum marks for
theory courses (EE+CA) shall be 25 per credit. Thus, a 2-credit course shall have maximum
marks (EE+CA) of 50, a 3-credit course shall havemaximum marks (EE+CA) of 75 and a 4-
credit course shall havemaximum marks (EE+CA) of 50, etc. EE shall be of maximum
marks equal to 80% marks of the total (EE+CA) marks and CA shall be of maximum marks
equal to 20% of the total (EE+CA) marks.
3. The Continuous Assessment (CA) for a Theory Course shall consist of activities
including assignment, class test and seminars to be set, organized and evaluated by the
respective study centre. The marks obtained by each student (20% of the total marks) in a
format given in by examination section must be submitted by the Study Centre (SC) before
the commencement of the EE, to the Controller of Examinations (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.
4. The EE (of 80 maximum marks for 4 credits, of maximum marks 40 for 2 credit
courses) shall be set, organized and evaluated under supervision and control of the
Controller of Examination, YCMOU. For each block of 1 credit of a course, the EE shall
have of 5sub-questions of 5 marks each, out of which the examinee will attempt 4
questions, thus the maximum per credit are 20. This means that for a 4-credit course there
shall be 4 questions each consisting of 5 sub-questions (of 5 marks each) and the
examinee shall attempt 4 sub-questions in each of the questions. Similarly, for a 2-credit
course there shall be 2 questions, each consisting of 5 sub-questions (of 5 marks each)
and the examinee shall attempt 4 sub-questions in each of the questions.
5. For successful completion of a Theory Course, the examinee must secure at least 40 %
marks in the EE AND at least 40% in combined total of CA and EE. In case the candidate
does not complete a theory course successfully, (s) he may take the EE as a repeater student
by paying requisite fee and by following stipulated procedure. No repeat examination in CA
will be taken. (Explanation: A person has, (for a 4-credit course of 100 total marks), secured
20 marks out of 20 in CA and has secured 20 marks out of 80 in EE, thus has secured
aggregate 40 marks out of
100. She shall not be treated as “passed” because she has not secured 40 % marks
13
in EE. On the other hand, a person who has obtained 5 marks out of 20 in CA (less than
40%) and 35 marks out of 80 in EE (more than 40%) thus securing 40 marks out of 100 in
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.
9. The Theory-plus-practical courses shall comprise of the following components, namely,
(i) CA based on Theory part (ii) EE based on Theorypart and
(iii) Practical Examination based on Practical Activities (Practical part).
10. The CA for a Theory-plus-practical Course shall consist of activities including

has 100 marks for Theory part (20 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
14
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 has failed in Practical Examination.
14. No repeater examination in Continuous Assessment will be conducted.
15. The Project Work type of courses shall carry marks as defined in the course structure.
Of these marks to be allotted, 50% marks are to be assigned by Internal Examiner and 50%
by the External Examiner. The evaluation will be based on the performance of the examinee
in Viva Voce, Project Report and Presentation based on the Project work. The student needs
to secure 40% marks in the Project Examination to successfully complete the course.
16. The Term Work type of courses shall carry marks as defined in the course structure.
Of these marks to be allotted, 50% marks are to be assigned by Internal Examiner and 50%

Examination Section in prescribed format and by following stipulated procedure.
Students Evaluation with Grade system:
1. The system of examination shall be same as that with the marking with the following
additional changes:
2. The marks scored by the examinee shall be converted into grade points by dividing
the marks scored in the aggregate and dividing the resulting number by maximum marks,
multiplying the result by ten, retaining the integer part(ignore the fractional part). Thus if
a person has secured 56 marks out of 100 marks in aggregate for a course, we get
(56/100)x10 which is 5.6. Ignoring the fraction, we get 5 as the grade point.
3. Letter Grade: It is an index of the performance of students in a said course. Grades
aredenoted by letters O, A+, A, B+, B, C, P and F. The UGC recommends a 10-point grading
system with the following letter grades and points as given below:
Letter Grade and Grade

FROM THE DIRECTOR’S DESK
Welcome to the YCMOU family of learners!
I congratulate you to have chosen the path of learning through the distance mode of
education. As beautifully expressed by the seers of all times, education is a liberating
force. “That who is educated is emancipated”. Education liberates one from the shackles
of ignorance, poverty and doom and takes you to the path of salvation, skill, prosperity
and high self esteem.
In the school of Continuing Education we seek to provide the education of skill
varying in areas like Engineering Vocations (Fitter, etc) to Hospitality and Tourism. We
urge you to devote your time in studying the course curriculum and take keen interests in
laboratory and practical works. Skill get inculcated when you do practice more and more
often. As they say: Practice Makes a Man Perfect!
In the following pages we will introduce you to the various programmes which the
school has developed. This document is a supplement to the Common Prospectus which
gives the detailed information on all the policies of academic, financial and legal nature.
All the programs have learning material supplied through the Study Centres. You should
take support from the Study Centres not only in getting the books but also in such
activities as laboratory practices and Internal Assessments.
It is possible that Study centres may not be recognised for a program which has
been designed by the university. It is also possible that Study Centre(s) may be closed
for certain programs due to various reasons and thus it may be possible that the study
centre is not available for a certain program. The program specific information on this
document supplies information on the programs on offer. It is possible that no study
centres are available for a program for which other information is supplied in this
document. Merely finding information on a certain academic program does not ensure
that study centres would also be available. In case no study centres exist for a program
admission cannot be granted to any student for such academic program
We wish you all the best in your ventures in distance learning.

Need and Importance of the various Certificate Programs

The certificate programs are short duration programs which enable quick assimilation of
knowledge, skills and attitude for a trade. This enables the target group to get quickly
employed or self-employed in the profession.
The language programs in foreign languages (English, French, Arabic, German) aim at
giving you a brief introduction to these modern languages. These programs will help you in
your daily chores if and when you visit foreign countries. We teach not only the language
but also their customs and culture.
The certificate program on Fire Safety Engineering Management will help you in becoming
a professional in areas like industrial security guard which involves management of fire and
other safety concerns.
We have designed the certificate in beauty parlour management to help ladies especially
those of disadvantaged classes (e.g., below poverty line, divorcees, etc) to start the practice
of beautician at the elementary level. The practices of beautician are introduced with
25
rudimentary knowledge of science of anatomy and physiology of related systems

particularly of nail, hair and skin.
We have been running two certificate programs in information technology for school going
children at elementary (standard 5th to 7th) and secondary levels (standard 8th to 10th).
These are in line with the policy of Government of Maharashtra to inculcate IT
skills in children.
We have also started a program in tailoring particularly for the ladies of disadvantaged
classes. Being a short duration program, it helps these ladies to start earning with little
training.
Importance of water conservation can be hardly overstated. The University has started a
program on water management to educate various target groups at urban as well as rural
settings to practice such vital projects like building reservoirs.
The University is in process of starting a program on optical fibre professionals particularly

in telecom sector. The technical practices of this profession would be taught in this program.
The university has also recently started program for learning skills of digital photography. It
is expected to build professional photographers at the rural and urban settings.
A certificate program in video production is expected to fill the much required need for the
trade, with the advent of various channels to distribute the video content. The aspect of
shooting, editing and distribution are covered in this program.
The certificate in script writing (patkatha lekhan) is designed for training of the youth in
script writing in Marathi. Due to boost in new avenues of distribution of video content, the
requirement of script writers has seen a boost in the recent years. This program is
expected to cater to the need of script writers.

T97: B.Sc. (Media Graphics and Animation)

The importance of tasteful and aesthetic presentation of concepts and products in print,
computer images, and video production can hardly be overstated. The three year B.Sc. in
Media Graphics and Animation prepares a person in his journey to professional excellence
through hard work punctuated with practical advices from instructors who have valuable field
experience.
The program carries the student through thirty four courses of great variety to give him or her
taste of life at a media studio. The first year introduces the student to use of computer and
internet which is essential as the program has many courses rooted to use of computers to
generate, edit and distribute media content. The student is encouraged to do drawing using
natural media (paper and pencil) to hone skill of drawing as well to develop an eye of an artist.
This is supplemented with introduction of knowledge of typography and colour theory which
should help the learner to appreciate the work of masters through theoretical tools. The learner
also undergoes the practice of computer graphics through use of Adobe Photoshop, Quark
Express, Coral Draw and Adobe illustrator. In the first year the learner is encouraged to work
on fundamental and hence courses on technical and creative writing, introduction to multimedia
application and on developing presentation seek to build the strong foundation.
The student’s journey takes further shape as he progresses to second year. The leaner gets
aquianted with fundamentals of Web Development, HTML and Content Digitization, learns
Story Boarding, and hones skills in Content Authoring on Web using Macromedia
Dreamweaver, sets his hands on computer Animation through an introduction to Flash, and
develops Dynamic Web Pages using Java and VB Scripts and also learns Video-Production
Basics, which prepares him/her to the third year which focuses only on three dimensional
animation. The third year has courses only on 3D animation using 3DS Max and Maya,
which are industry standards on computer graphics animation.
With computing becoming ubiquitous and percolating the society in every aspect of living,
the need for training the youth in animation became the necessity. The BSc in media
