Nashik: The city-based Yashwantrao Chavan Maharashtra Open University (YCMOU) has conducted over 6,000 counselling sessions in all its regional centres in a month.
The 40-minute long sessions received good response from student, said teachers. Vice-chancellor of the varsity E Vayunandan said “We are amazed to see the response of the students for the counselling sessions.
Earlier only a few students showed interest in attending these sessions and now about 80% of them are attending them online.”
Being an open varsity, YCMOU conducts these counselling sessions to clarify the doubts of students.
“The students get the study material at their homes and study on their own. Our teachers do not teach them each and every topic as they have opted to study on their own. However, we conduct regular counselling sessions round the year for different subjects,” said Vayunandan.
