Besides these Courses, B.Com (Bachelor of Commerce) was introduced in the same year with permission from the University in order to meet the wishes of many students as this Institution meets the requirements of the Management and Commerce courses.

It is now a feather in the cap of T.T.L Trust that a Study Centre of Karnataka State Open University was sanctioned in June 2000. The object of the Open University is to provide Distance Education to those yearning for higher knowledge and thereby creating job opportunities to youngsters not able to secure degrees by attending regular classes owing to various reasons. Karnataka State Open University was established in 1996 keeping in view the Educational needs of the Nation in general and the State in particular. It is the eigth Open University in our Country. The University has a long and rich experience in the field of Distance Education. The Open learning system is a unique and challenging mode of Education offered at the University level. This system provides ample opportunities for those who desire to have University Education at their place of work or residence. This method is popularly Knows as Distance Education. Distance Education is perhaps the only way to meet the increasing demand for higher education especially in a developing country like India. Distance Education programmes are specially designed for

  • Students who discontinue their formal education owing to pecuniary or other circumstances.
  • Students residing in geographically remote areas.
  • Students who cannot get admission to regular College or a Post –Graduate Department.
  • Employed persons who cannot pursue their study as fulltime students and
  • Individuals who wish to pursue learning for knowledge sake.

Programmes offered by the Open university at T.T.L. Study Centre are B.A., B.Com., M.B.A., M.A., M.Com., B. Lib.,(Sc)., & P.G.Diploma and Certificate Courses. Admissions are made under two categories namely

  • Regulation I (Open ) Where no educational qualification is required but age is the main criteria
  • Regulation II (Formal ) Where basic educational qualifications are needed . For both syllabus is the same. Besides, certain programmes through internet are under preparation

Thus the objectives of the K.S.O.U are :

  • Taking higher education to the doorsteps of the learners
  • providing high quality education to those irrespective of age, region or formal qualifications.
  • Promoting and developing distance education
  • Providing opportunity to study at one’s own place and convenience.
  • Choosing the combination of courses from a wide range of disciplines

The University caters to the requirements of students on the basis of conventional and non-conventional methods of teaching and learning. The study centre provides contact points for the students on all major aspects of the programme. These include weekend counseling sessions, Library facilities, disseminating information and advice and provide audio-visual aids. Thus the study centre is a co-ordinating agency between the University and the students. Classes are conducted by qualified and experienced Lecturers and Professors. University Examinations for students attached to this centre in various programmes are conducted here.

Above all these, the Trust has well equipped Library and Computer Centre with Internet Facility. In addition, the Trust has created an Academy for training candidates for various Competitive Examinations conducted by the State and Central Govt., the Banks, the L.I.C., Railway Recruitments Board, National Talent Search Examination (NTSE) and other quasi Agencies.
