Education has always been an important part of our life and it defines the direction in which we lead our life on.
In earlier times, people went to Gurukul’s and Madarsa's to get education. Then British introduced modern schools and colleges which are still a traditional system to get educated.
Sometimes, we cannot get the type of higher education we always wanted to.
For example, a particular course is not available on local college and you don’t want to relocate to another city for higher study.
OR, you're doing a full time job and can not attend a full-time course.
What should you do?
That’s where distance education steps in.
Distance learning courses open ways to get excellent education even in far corners of India. So, you can stay in your hometown and get advance education as per your interest.
NMIMS Global Access School for Continuing Education (NGA-SCE) is one such institution that offer distance learning programs for working professionals and fresh graduates.
