This novel scheme, conceived by the University Grants Commission (UGC), IGNOU, Distance Education Council and the All India Council of Technical Education (AICTE) under the guidance of Ministry of Human Resource Development (HRD) aims to combine the best trends in open and distance learning with conventional teaching- learning pedagogies . It would thus facilitate capacity building and strengthening the conventional systems of higher education, helping achieve the projected National targets related to access and equity in higher education. As partner institution MIER is authorized to offer any under-graduate and post-graduate programme approved by IGNOU. Only select institutions/Universities aross India with high academic credentials have been selected by IGNOU under the scheme to transact IGNOU approved curriculum at their respective campuses.
Dr. Arun K.Gupta, Chairman MIER Group of Institutions described achieving IGNOU Partner status as a significant achievement for the institution and felt that it was reaffirmation of the high quality that the MIER Group has come to be associated with.
