KOCHI:
JAIN (Deemed-to-be University) has launched JAIN Online which offers undergraduate (UG) and postgraduate (PG) online degree programmes in Commerce, Management, Information Technology and Humanities recognized by the University Grants Commission (UGC). Recently, UGC has approved 38 universities to award online degrees at undergraduate and postgraduate level based on its NAAC Rating and NIRF Ranking.
Jain (Deemed-to-be-University) is promoted by the JAIN Group of Institutions, which manages 85 institutions including three universities with total student strength of close to a lakh. JAIN is ranked among the top hundred in the country as per the National Institutions Ranking Framework (NIRF) and enjoys graded autonomy from the University Grants Commission.
The university has started two undergraduate and seven postgraduate offerings. However, the students have a wide choice from 72 specializations, which includes the new emerging domains like Data and Analytics, Cyber Security, Cloud Computing, Artificial Intelligence, International Finance and Digital Business and Marketing, among others. Most of the JAIN Online courses are externally accredited by the global professional bodies as well.
JAIN aims to deliver an engaging and enriching learning experience for its students through its Learning Management System (LMS). The robust Learning Management System provides a high degree of convenience and flexibility to the students who can access videos, self-learning materials, virtual labs, assignments, quizzes, discussion forums, and live classes over the weekends from top-notch faculty members drawn from across the globe.
Students are also offered personalized support to clarify their queries from a dedicated programme manager. The learning hours and credits of the online degree programmes are the same as the regular programmes of the university.
JAIN has also extended its Career Advancement Services on JAIN Online to facilitate job placements with over 2,000 hiring partners.
Dr. Chenraj Roychand, Chancellor, Jain (Deemed-to-be-University), said, “The changing landscape of education globally shaped by disruptions due to the pandemic and technological advancements has caused challenges as well as opportunities for the education sector. When universities, as we have known them, are being forced to change, online education brings a paradigm change which not only helps in reaching the unreached but also helps in differentiated program offerings in line with market demands.”
Tom Joseph, Director of New Initiatives, JAIN, said, “As a university, we are committed to transform our digital infrastructure to support our students’ learning environment and enhance our capacity in e- learning. With JAIN Online, we are extending our commitment to provide high-quality and globally benchmarked education to the students across the globe and especially in Kerala. And we strongly believe online education is not the ‘Next Big Thing’, it is the ‘Now Big Thing’, he said.
