ODL (Open and Distance Learning) students are generally adult members of a family, full-time occupied and holding other responsibilities. On an average, a student cannot devote more than four hours per day for study. As a result in one year, he/she can devote approximately, 1500 hours for study. Credit point system is one of the important aspects while imparting instruction education through distance mode.
Credit point system is a measure of workload of a student’s effort. One credit point is equivalent to 30 hours of study. Credit points are calculated with the help of time spent by student for study and practical work.
