Hi Kirthiga,
Correspondence Course: Broadly speaking, they are nothing more than study materials or books which the University/Organisation provides you. You will also be provided with a course plan which you are supposed to follow. Tests are conducted periodically depending on the institute.
Distant Programme: It is typically an online and user-centric course. Tutors usually upload their lectures on a common platform/database which the class can access any time. Also, because this type of education spans though various time zones, the students are given the liberty to choose their test timings too. IGNOU, YCMOU, ICFAI University are among the oldest, renowned names providing distance education in India.
Thanks.
