Distance learning in B.Sc/ M.Sc. Is one of the most preferred options for students who are unable to attend regular classes due to several factors such as geographical restrictions, health issues, and time & financial constraints. Many major Science specializations in India are approved by UGC, which can be offered in distance learning mode. However, courses such as B.Sc. Agriculture, Horticulture, Sericulture, and associated courses are not available in distance learning/ online distance learning (ODLP) mode due to the nature of its course which involves practical learning and experimentation. In recent years, UGC has also given approval for online B.Sc. Courses where the students are provided with online study materials and contact sessions. The exams for online B.Sc. Courses are conducted online where all the questions will be objective or MCQ-based. Before seeking admission distance or online B.Sc. Courses, it is advisable to check the UGC recognition of the respective universities. In fact, UGC has recently approved that a student can pursue two dual degrees simultaneously with the condition that one of the degree programmes must be in the distance learning mode. Moreover, the 2020 pandemic situation has further urged students & aspirants to take up online distance learning programmes on priority. While there are many top Distance Learning Institutes in India that offers courses in various streams, this article focuses on B.Sc. Online Distance Learning Programmes.

Almost every student has a dream to get placed in a company after their higher education. There are a lot of steps that need to be taken care of from the beginning of the freshmen year like workshops and certifications which helps a lot in getting placed in decent company and among these steps, perfect internships play a crucial role. Here are the few steps that may help to find the right internship:
Apply Consistently
Students feel it very competitive to get an online internship. But online surveys speak a different thing. A lot of internships get uploaded every day, the number of internships updated every day in our country is at least 1.3 times more than the number of candidates in that particular department. Still, a lot of students complain of not getting any selection from online options, this is because either they are less talented for that particular organisation or they stop applying after 3-4 rejections. Listen, you don't need to pay a penny to apply to any particular organisation online, so why to stop, just apply consistently. Constantly track those websites and apply as quickly as you can when you get a notification about new internships. Local Positions
This is the best way to easily get selected in internships, but students generally ignore or forget this process. Local positions are those internships that you can find in your college city or your hometown. Students generally desire to work far from home and college and miss the chance to work in decent organizations near them. So, try to figure out the top companies and industries of your domain near your college and hometown. These are the most convenient internships. Social media is also a great tool to bag the internships. The basic hack to gain your perfect internship from social media is networking. Start following the HRs of those companies which belong to your domain, start building connections on LinkedIn with employees and other applicants with the same interest. Start joining groups and following hashtags related to your domain and jobs. Make your account look professional and mention your achievement briefly along with the CV. Do post regularly on topics related to your domain or support other groups with the same content. Keep an eye on the post of these groups and HR, and apply instantly. Also, before applying to any internships, don't forget to prepare your CV with proper formatting and etiquette. Thanks.

I had gotten 182/200 (PCM) on my CET (2016) and I am currently a final year student in PICT (Comp). I don't know much about current exam pattern and difficulty level but I assume the syllabus hasn't changed much. So here are a few tips :
Start solving maths questions topic wise from whatever material you have. Make sure you review your answers and correct the mistakes. Make a plan to cover all the topics on or before December ends. After that go for timed practice and solve previous year questions/mixed practice sets. I suggested to focus on maths because I found it to be the most scoring subject and your maths score is also a criteria for ranking if you opt for engineering. For Physics and Chemistry- Id suggest you to start looking for tricks on solving various kinds of problems and topic-wise practice for now. I had joined a tuition for Chemistry because it was my weak point. But you can also look for videos/forums online. These two are the subjects where, if you could cover all types of questions on topics, you will be able to solve most of the questions on actual CET successfully as they just twist the given data. Chemistry : scoring topics were organic chemistry and chemical kinetics-related problems (so basically mathematical calculation part). As I mentioned in first point, go for timed practice and then mixed practice after November/December etc. Remember that you will have to prepare for practicals + boards in January. When the boards start you can still practice maths everyday because it is essentially similar to CET (problem sovling). As far as Phy & Chem are concerned, you will be reviewing your basic concepts while studying for boards, which is again a plus. We had a duration of approximately a month and a half after our boards ended. DEDICATE YOURSELF TO CET IN THIS TIME. Solve question papers alternatively (don't forget to check them). Use OMR sheets. Try to simulate the test environment - Start with Phy&Chem paper, take a break - have light lunch and then solve maths paper. (Maybe try turning off the AC as your testing centre will not have that and it is gonna be in the month of May). So, basically get your body used to that schedule- you don't want any unpleasant shocks on the big day!
In the end, Id like to say that preparing from start will help you a lot! All the best for future!
