A reflection of the most fundamental relation and the perfect one that goes on to describe humans as the most social animal on the planet. Taking cue from this iconic relationship, Sikkim Manipal University-Distance Education (SMU-DE) has modeled itself as an institution that follows all the flavors of friendship in a subtle way albeit making self learning more enjoyable.

The results are out and Sikkim Manipal University-Distance Education has been voted as Best Distance Learning Institute in India in terms of Results & Efficiency. It is only institute at the top that is not an open university. What’s more is that SMU-DE has been ranked 1 in terms of results & efficiency and rank 2 in learning & experience. The two most important parameters for every student.
Careers360 magazine from the Outlook Group has conducted the first ever objective ranking of 30 leading distance learning institutions across India based on qualitative and quantitative parameters. The results validate Sikkim Manipal University’s constant endeavor to bring forth quality education keeping in mind both the industry and the student’s needs.
The ranking was determined after examining 30 top institutions across three broad domains namely Reach & Resources, Learning & Experience and Results & Efficiency. Nimesh Chandra, Head of Research of Careers360 had spearheaded the exercise collating data on all existing distance learning institutions, visiting select universities, study centers and interview with stake holders.
The universe for Open and Distance Learning Institutes in India comprises of 249 institutes, out of which 176 institutes are currently offering Distance Education Programmes. Careers360 undertook shortlisting of 50 institutions based on student enrollment data. Careers360 then sent letters to these institutions with a questionnaire. Additional data was also taken from the Distance Education Council (DEC). Based on the responses received from these institutes, final 30 were chosen for ranking processes. These then were subjected to a thorough research that included visits by the research team of Careers360 magazine, focus on infrastructure and diversity of the institutions, and its reach. The whole research process emphasized on quality of resources, delivery mechanisms and output focusing on the performance of the institute in helping the trained student getting a better career prospect.
Scoring a sum total of 616 points, Sikkim Manipal University is ranked 3 overall in the list of the best distance learning institutions across the country. Importantly SMU-DE’s methods towards efficiency of teaching and interactive learning have earned it rank 1 and 2 respectively. Teaching efficiency is a must in distance learning as this mode focuses on self learning. Hence getting the right message across from the faculty to the student is vital. Similarly interactive learning has by far been considered as a major hindrance in distance education when compared with regular colleges. Institutes like Sikkim Manipal University has successfully negated this drawback thereby increasing industry acceptance of distance education and making the learning experience a more enjoyable one. SMU-DE also found special mention in the article with regards to Public Private Partnership model that works. SMU-DE has always believed and delivered courses that are in sync with the needs of the industry making sure that the student gets a degree that will facilitate his career growth.
Established in 1995, Sikkim Manipal University is a public-private partnership between the Government of Sikkim and Manipal Education. With a student strength of nearly 1,77,000, the institute offers distance education across 11 broad disciplines aided by 65 core faculty members and over 6,500 mentors. The disciplines include Information Technology, Management, Hospitality Management, Journalism and Mass Communication, Biotechnology, Bioinformatics, Apparel & Fashion Designing, Allied Health Sciences, Telecom, Commerce and Fire & Safety.
Making it easy for students to learn faster is the multi award winning learning system EduNxt. EduNxt allows students to access faculty mentors, industry experts, counseling, virtual classrooms, self-learning materials and over a million journals. All this can be done 24x7 helping students to plan their studies beforehand. Moreover it allows students time to work and earn while they study thereby gaining crucial industry related experience as well as being self reliant financially. For students eager to study in a classroom environment there are more than 725 University authorized Learning Centers across 310 cities that have their own certified faculty and counselors ready to help students at all times.
The findings of the research have once again put the focus back on SMU-DE as being the undisputed leader in teaching efficiently. From here on we strive to make the experience and value of studying at SMU-DE even better and it’s now our aim to come at rank 1 across all categories. Students at SMU-DE don’t just get an higher education, they get a degree that works!

Practical Education for an Active Hospitality Industry

Humans have an innate desire to explore which in the earliest days led them to explore different countries and continents far away from their native land. Now it’s transformed into a habit of travelling around whether for business or leisure. The very same desire of exploration gave birth to one of the most dynamic industry: The Hospitality Industry. The hotel and catering industry has been one of the fastest growing industries in the world in the past 50 years. For the Indian hospitality industry it has been estimated that the employment opportunities will increase to 15 million by 2010.
“It is estimated that between now and the year 2013, the hotel industry will generate 250 million jobs which will consist of approximately 10% of total world employment."
The World Travel and Tourism Council
One of the fastest growing industries in the world will continue to expand in the same breath for years to come. Though that opens up a huge lot of career opportunities, the industry in itself is demanding of talent, time and soft skills. Work experience receives outmost importance in this profession. So along with a degree in hospitality management students must look for institutes that provide them the option to work as well. Also institutes that put more importance on practical training of soft skills should be given preference while taking up the course. One institute that comes to the mind which provides all the necessary choices in this profession is the Sikkim Manipal University-Distance Education (SMU-DE).
The curriculum at SMU-DE has been designed by professionals and in-house faculty who have more than a decade of experience in the hospitality industry. Most importantly the basic structure of the course relies on imparting the exact skills as required by the industry. Keeping current market trends in mind regular interactions and seminars are conducted with mentors from the industry and other leading hospitality firms. SMU-DE offers a variety of hospitality courses at different levels of specialization. Starting with Diploma in Hospitality & Catering Management to Advanced Diploma in Hospitality & Catering Management, BSc in Hospitality & Catering and PGD in Travel & Tourism Management.
Pursuing a course in SMU-DE provides you with the luxury to study at your own pace and time. This is made possible by EduNxt, the virtual learning platform that supports video chatting with lecturers and industry mentors, counseling, online library and much more. This in turn provides you with ample time to work as well as study thereby increasing your educational qualification while adding on crucial work experience at the same time.
India’s foreign exchange earnings from travel and tourism industry in 2005 were US $ 5731 million. According to a survey conducted across 134 countries by the world’s travelers, India is rated as the fifth most preferred destination. These statistics indicate the importance and the demand for trained and skilled individuals in the hospitality industry is all set to grow by many folds in the coming years. The industry increasingly prefers employees on whom they don’t have to spend much time for training or induction. Instead it is always profitable when the individual can be on the job from first day itself. We at Sikkim Manipal University believe in creating individuals who are ready to take on such a future and face any challenge thrown in the way.

It’s a Fashionable World

It is time for the chic fashionistas to strut their stuff. It is time for the third edition of the highly successful Bangalore Fashion Week which goes on the floors starting July 22. This four day event will showcase the best collections from designers adorned by the topmost models and attended by top celebrities. Fashion designers though form the most vital link of the ensemble. With so many platforms to showcase their designs and fashion cues changing often, designers have to be on their toes to come up with something new and attractive every time. Creativity, smartness, communication and crisis management abilities are needed the most. A dynamic profession where if one finds a footing, fame and money is never in short supply. Moreover there is space for everyone as long as creativity keeps flowing. So how does one become a fashion designer? With so many institutes offering courses in fashion designing it becomes difficult to select the right institute. Adding to the complexity is the huge demand for fashion designing course since this is one of the fastest growing sectors and with ample spotlight.
Fashion designing involves less of theory and more of practical’s with a lot of insight into communication techniques, etiquettes, management techniques and crisis handling abilities. Sikkim Manipal University Distance Education (SMU-DE) has taken all these aspects in its course offering Bachelor of Science in Apparel and Fashion Designing (BScAFD). The course while focussing on elements of pattern techniques and fundamentals of designing equally focuses on imparting of soft skills and all aspects of marketing and advertising to ensure that its students are best prepared to develop a solid footing in the industry. This six semester course is complete with practical sessions, industry mentoring, specialisations and internships.
With a faculty boasting of extensive industry experience, teaching method has been made easy and simple with case studies, real life examples and visual aids for accurate demonstration. The idea is to allow students to develop a holistic understanding of not just the subject in question but the industry in itself, its scope, limitations and challenges. SMU-DE students who have successfully completed this course are now working with some of the leading apparel houses in the country, a strong testimony to their level of preparedness and training.
It’s a bit cliché to think that all fashion designers work for apparel manufacturers, creating designs for men, women and children for mass market consumption. Fashion designers may work full-time for one company, known as in-house designers. They may work alone or as part of a team. Freelance designers work for themselves, and sell their designs to fashion houses, directly to shops, or to clothing manufacturers. Some fashion designers are self-employed and design for individual clients.
According to the Annual Reports (2006-2007), Ministry of Textiles, Government of India, the domestic market will grow to the tune of Rs. 23,000 crores by 2010 and generate an additional employment for approximately 12-17 million workers of whom 5 million will be skilled in the same time span. That in turn adds up to a sea of opportunities for talented individuals to excel. We at SMU-DE understand the needs of the industry with an eye on the future and prepare our students so that they can excel in the industry and carve out a niche segment of their own.

It is a dream that lingers in the mind of every Indian student. A wish and an ultimate goal of working in a white collared job for the world’s leading companies. I am talking about Information Technology. Corporate set-up, mind boggling office spaces, fattest pay cheques and a swanky lifestyle have all got associated with IT over a period of time and India is its second home of sorts.
The Indian software industry has grown from a mere US $ 150 million in 1991-92 to a staggering US $ 5.7 billion (including over $4 billion worth of software exports) in 1999-2000. No other Indian industry has performed so well against the global competition. Today, India exports software and services to nearly 95 countries around the world. The share of North America (U.S. & Canada) in India’s software exports is about 61 per cent. According to a NASSCOM-McKinsey report, annual revenue for India’s IT industry in 2008 were US $ 87 billion and market openings are emerging across four broad sectors, IT services, software products, IT enabled services, and e-businesses thus creating a number of opportunities for Indian companies. In addition to the export market, all of these segments have a domestic market component as well. At the aspired levels of growth, IT-BPO will employ about 2.5 to three million professionals directly in the sector, account for direct investment of about US$10 to US$15 billion and contribute seven to eight percent of the national GDP by the end of this year.
So what does one do to get into the IT industry with a strong education base and the much essential practical experience? It’s imperative to first select a good institute for that IT degree. Like Bangalore is the Silicon Valley of India, Sikkim Manipal University is the Education Valley of IT education. The reason for such a tag is credited to its range of courses, the curriculum and most importantly the basic structure of the course whereby one can imbibe the exact skills as required by the industry. The university has rightly identified that the need of the day is to provide IT education that encompasses world-class curriculum which is also industry focused so that students are well versed with the current market trends and latest technologies. Sikkim Manipal University Distance Education (SMU-DE) offers 8 courses in IT at different levels. Starting with Diploma in IT, BSc in IT and Bachelor in Computer Application it goes on to Post Graduate Diploma in IT, Post Graduate Diploma in CA, MSc in IT, MSc in Computer Science and MCA.
The industry as of today puts heavy emphasis on skill sets and communication techniques. SMU-DE courses offer you the luxury to study at your own pace and time. This is made possible by EduNxt, the virtual learning platform that supports video chatting with lecturers and industry mentors, counselling, online library and much more. This in turn provides you with ample time to work as well as study thereby increasing your educational qualification while adding on crucial work experience at the same time. These two when combined counts the most in today’s capitalist market. Added on is the distinguished faculty from the industry with more than a decade of experience behind them.
As the markets witness positive growth post the economic slump, India is going to see more investments in the coming years. Also the factor that Indian IT companies withered the economic slump better than western counterparts provides an immense boost to the overall scenario. This will place a greater demand for software professionals who have the required skill sets and crucial work experience. SMU-DE believes in creating individuals who are ready to take on such a future and face any challenge thrown in the way. The big winner however will be YOU as you get to live your dream.

It is a dream that lingers in the mind of every Indian student. A wish and an ultimate goal of working in a white collared job for the world’s leading companies. I am talking about Information Technology. Corporate set-up, mind boggling office spaces, fattest pay cheques and a swanky lifestyle have all got associated with IT over a period of time and India is its second home of sorts.
The Indian software industry has grown from a mere US $ 150 million in 1991-92 to a staggering US $ 5.7 billion (including over $4 billion worth of software exports) in 1999-2000. No other Indian industry has performed so well against the global competition. Today, India exports software and services to nearly 95 countries around the world. The share of North America (U.S. & Canada) in India’s software exports is about 61 per cent. According to a NASSCOM-McKinsey report, annual revenue for India’s IT industry in 2008 were US $ 87 billion and market openings are emerging across four broad sectors, IT services, software products, IT enabled services, and e-businesses thus creating a number of opportunities for Indian companies. In addition to the export market, all of these segments have a domestic market component as well. At the aspired levels of growth, IT-BPO will employ about 2.5 to three million professionals directly in the sector, account for direct investment of about US$10 to US$15 billion and contribute seven to eight percent of the national GDP by the end of this year.
So what does one do to get into the IT industry with a strong education base and the much essential practical experience? It’s imperative to first select a good institute for that IT degree. Like Bangalore is the Silicon Valley of India, Sikkim Manipal University is the Education Valley of IT education. The reason for such a tag is credited to its range of courses, the curriculum and most importantly the basic structure of the course whereby one can imbibe the exact skills as required by the industry. The university has rightly identified that the need of the day is to provide IT education that encompasses world-class curriculum which is also industry focused so that students are well versed with the current market trends and latest technologies. Sikkim Manipal University Distance Education (SMU-DE) offers 8 courses in IT at different levels. Starting with Diploma in IT, BSc in IT and Bachelor in Computer Application it goes on to Post Graduate Diploma in IT, Post Graduate Diploma in CA, MSc in IT, MSc in Computer Science and MCA.
The industry as of today puts heavy emphasis on skill sets and communication techniques. SMU-DE courses offer you the luxury to study at your own pace and time. This is made possible by EduNxt, the virtual learning platform that supports video chatting with lecturers and industry mentors, counselling, online library and much more. This in turn provides you with ample time to work as well as study thereby increasing your educational qualification while adding on crucial work experience at the same time. These two when combined counts the most in today’s capitalist market. Added on is the distinguished faculty from the industry with more than a decade of experience behind them.
As the markets witness positive growth post the economic slump, India is going to see more investments in the coming years. Also the factor that Indian IT companies withered the economic slump better than western counterparts provides an immense boost to the overall scenario. This will place a greater demand for software professionals who have the required skill sets and crucial work experience. SMU-DE believes in creating individuals who are ready to take on such a future and face any challenge thrown in the way. The big winner however will be YOU as you get to live your dream.
