AC 33.8.1<br />

Pr<strong>of</strong>. S.C.Garg, Pro Vice-Chancellor informed that the students<br />

without Mathematics as a distinct subject at 10 + 2 level were<br />

required to register for both MTE-03 and CIC in the first<br />

semester <strong>of</strong> BCA and successfully complete the same before<br />

registering in 3 rd semester <strong>of</strong> the BCA programme. Consequent<br />

upon implementation <strong>of</strong> annual registration instead <strong>of</strong> semester<br />

wise registration and for operational reasons, it is proposed that<br />

the condition <strong>of</strong> completion <strong>of</strong> MTE-03 and CIC before<br />

registering in 3 rd semester be changed to 3 rd year <strong>of</strong> BCA<br />

instead. The revised condition will be:<br />

“The students would have to successfully complete MTE-03<br />

and CIC before registering in 3 rd year <strong>of</strong> BCA”.<br />

AC 33.8.2<br />

The <strong>Academic</strong> <strong>Council</strong> considered and approved the proposal.<br />

The Chairman’s concluding Observations:<br />

In the last meeting, we had briefly mentioned about new possibilities and<br />

capabilities for effective and interactive Edusat supported networks which will greatly<br />

benefit our system. The Chairman was pleased to report that the progress in this project<br />

was very satisfactory and more than 80 locations had already become functional with two<br />

way video and two way audio interactive connectivity.<br />

The Chairman also drew the attention <strong>of</strong> the Members to DEP-SSA Project for<br />

teacher training which the University had successfully implemented with financial<br />

support from the MHRD. The Chairman was pleased to mention that recently MHRD-<br />

ISRO have jointly agreed to support the major initiatives <strong>of</strong> <strong>IGNOU</strong> in reaching out to<br />

850 schools through Edusat supported network for education. The District <strong>of</strong> Sidhi in<br />

MP, Sonbhadra in UP, Koria in Chhattisgarh and one adjoining district in Bihar had been<br />

identified for teacher training and training <strong>of</strong> students. The Chairman expected that such<br />

a network could also be extensively used for several other programmes <strong>of</strong> <strong>IGNOU</strong>.<br />

The <strong>Academic</strong> <strong>Council</strong> appreciated these proactive initiatives taken by the<br />

University.<br />

The meeting ended with a vote <strong>of</strong> thanks to the Chair.
