1. About the University

The Nalanda Open University is the only

university in the State of Bihar, which is meant for

imparting education exclusively through the

system of open & distance learning. The University

was established in March 1987, by an ordinance,

promulgated by the Government of Bihar. Later,

after enactment of Nalanda Open University Act,

1995 by the Bihar Legislature, the University came

under the authority and jurisdiction of the new Act.

The University is an autonomous body under the

Nalanda Open University Act, 1995, and is named

after the famous Nalanda University of ancient

India.

At present, the university is functioning from its

camp office at Biscomaun Bhawan, Gandhi

Maidan, Patna. The university offices are located

on 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 12th floors of Biscomaun

Bhawan. The university is in possession of about

60,000 sq. feet of built-up area. The university has

classrooms, laboratories for science subjects and

training facilities for computer programmes. The

computer laboratory of the university is connected

with 1 Gbps Internet-connection under NKN

project of MHRD and equipped with 350 high end

computers with latest processors and is one of the

largest computer centres in this part of the country.

Besides Biscomaun Bhawan, the university has

further hired space at Co-operative Bank Building

(opposite B.N. Colleage, Patna) and some built-up

areas of Bihar Vidyapith (Near Kurji Hospital,

Digha) for distribution of self-learning materials

(SLM). Moreover, the State Government has

started the process for developing a spacious

campus for Nalanda Open University at Nalanda.

The administrative functions of the university is

performed from the 3rd floor of the Biscomaun

Bhawan. The university has a well-equipped, deve-

loped and fully automated administrative office.

The university has an air-conditioned electroni-

cally controlled examination centre for about 1000

examinees and a state of the art library, with about

80,000 titles.

Bihar is a densely populated state with an

approximate population of about 12 crores, but the

State has the lowest literacy percentage (only about

60) among the states and Union Territories of India.

As such, it is essential that Bihar makes an all out

effort to leap forward in spreading the education

and improving its performance on the literacy

front. The State has, now, about 4000 high schools,

including 10+2 schools and 14 state run universities

besides 2 Cental universities. Every year, over 16-17

lakh students appear at the Secondary School

Examination and nearly 50-60% of them pass out.

However, not all of them can get accommodated

for higher education in institutions of conventional

learning. Therefore, the distance mode institutions,

like, the Nalanda Open University, have to play a

major role in meeting the aspirations of such

students, who are denied admission in conven-

tional institutions, but are still anxious to pursue

their studies at higher levels. The Nalanda Open

University provides them an alternative route to

pursue their studies through distance mode of

education.

1. About the University

The Nalanda Open University is the only

university in the State of Bihar, which is meant for

imparting education exclusively through the

system of open & distance learning. The University

was established in March 1987, by an ordinance,

promulgated by the Government of Bihar. Later,

after enactment of Nalanda Open University Act,

1995 by the Bihar Legislature, the University came

under the authority and jurisdiction of the new Act.

The University is an autonomous body under the

Nalanda Open University Act, 1995, and is named

after the famous Nalanda University of ancient

India.

At present, the university is functioning from its

camp office at Biscomaun Bhawan, Gandhi

Maidan, Patna. The university offices are located

on 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 12th floors of Biscomaun

Bhawan. The university is in possession of about

60,000 sq. feet of built-up area. The university has

classrooms, laboratories for science subjects and

training facilities for computer programmes. The

computer laboratory of the university is connected

with 1 Gbps Internet-connection under NKN

project of MHRD and equipped with 350 high end

computers with latest processors and is one of the

largest computer centres in this part of the country.

Besides Biscomaun Bhawan, the university has

further hired space at Co-operative Bank Building

(opposite B.N. Colleage, Patna) and some built-up

areas of Bihar Vidyapith (Near Kurji Hospital,

Digha) for distribution of self-learning materials

(SLM). Moreover, the State Government has

started the process for developing a spacious

campus for Nalanda Open University at Nalanda.

The administrative functions of the university is

performed from the 3rd floor of the Biscomaun

Bhawan. The university has a well-equipped, deve-

loped and fully automated administrative office.

At Counselling Centres, the counselling

classes are held as per prescribed requirement of

each programme. Every effort is made at these

conselling centres to make students understand

their subject and be familiar with their Self

Learning Materials. The University engages

subject specialists, drawn from the nearest

University/P.G. Colleges, for the counselling work.

The Counsellors, make every possible effort to

answer and address all academic queries of the

students at such centres and help them to prepare

their assignments etc.

It is not possible to open Counselling Centre at

every work place/ study centre of the University

and, as such, the Counselling Centres are permit-

ted only at such study centers where the number

of students admitted to various programmes of

the University is at least three-hundred or more.

The rest of the centres are only Study Centres

where no counselling class is held, but library and

other facilities are provided to enable the students

to study on their own and prepare for the

programme. Every Counselling-cum-Study

Centre/Study Centre of the University has been

fully equipped with reference books of the con-

cerned programmes and facilities of audio visuals

and other aids. The SLM of each programme, in five

copies, is also available at these centres for refer-

ence by the students.

The centres marked with asterik (*) are also

A summary of syllabi of different programmes

of the University is given in the Prospectus herein

after to enable the students to understand the

contents of their programmes at a glance.

The course fees for various courses/

programmes of the University is given at Annexure

I. The student must deposit the prescribad course

fee in full by Bank Draft before he/she is admitted.

Cash is not accepted.

The University reserves the right to revise the

course fee from time to time as per necessity.

The University has taken a bold step to pro-

vide 25 per cent rebate in admission fee to women

candidates of all categories in all the programmes

except Ph.D. Programme of the University. This

was announced on the occasion of the International

Mahila Diwas (March 8, 2007). As is well known,

Bihar has the lowest level of the female literacy.

Unemployment amongst women is also maximum

in this state. As such, the University has decided to

extend this facility to women candidates so that

they are attracted to conventional, professional and

vocational courses of the University. It intends to

really empower the women candidates with higher

learning since it is they who provide educational

base to the family and lay foundation for a literate

nation.

Nalanda Open University is, perhaps, the only

university in the county to offer this kind of

concession to all women candidates. This

concession is, however, not available for purchase

of Prospectus of the University or for Examination

fee to be realised from failed students. Details of fee

18. Syllabi of Different Programmes

Admission Fee

structure for women candidates is given in

Annexure I.

All candidates enrolled in the University shall

be registered with the Nalanda Open University on

the basis of information given by them in the

Admission-cum-Registration Form (Annexure A)

and given a registration number. Candidates shall

not be allowed to appear in the examination

without registration.

Every student admitted in the University is

issued an Identity Card under the facsimile signa-

ture of the Registrar (E). This Identity Card shall

remain valid till the completion of the course. The

Identity Card will entitle the student to have access

to various facilities being offered by the University.

The Identity Card will also serve as an entry card

to enter the University premises and access its

library and laboratories facilities. Without identity

card, a student may be denied entry to the

University and may not be allowed to appear at the

examination and may also be prevented from

attending counselling and/or practical classes. In

case of loss of an identity card, duplicate identity

card may be issued on payment of Rs. 100.00 by

Bank draft. After passing the examination, the

candidate must surrender the identity card to the

University.

Students, desirous of changing the course, to

which admitted earlier, may do so by filing an

application along with a late fee of Rs. 500.00 within

30 days of the last date of the admission in the

concerned subject. Late request for such changes

shall not be considered.

Any change in the address of the candidate

already enrolled must be communicated to the

University immediately, but as it may take some

time to effect the change in the official records of

the University, the candidates are advised to make

their own arrangement with the post office to get

the University material, if any, redirected to them at

their new address.

The course material in form of Self Learning

Material (SLM) and Assignment copies/ questions

are given to all students of all programmes, free of

cost, at the time of admission itself. Students

seeking admission at the University Headquarters

are advised to collect SLM of their course from the

University’s of Book Distribution Centres located

in the premises of Bihar State Cooperative Bank,

opposite B.N. College, Ashok Rajpath, Patna and

at Bihar Vidyapith near Kurji Hospital on Digha

Road, Patna. The students of Post Graduate

Diploma, Intermediate and certificate course will

get their study materials at the Bihar State

Copreative Bank building’s, ground floor while,

others will collect from Bihar Vidyapith. Self

Learning Material, Assignment copies /Questions

etc.will be made available to the students, seeking

admission through Study Centres of the

University, to them from the same Study Centre

from where they have purchased their admission-

form and deposited the same along with the course

fee. However, a student fail to get his/her SLM

from his/her Study Centre, for any reason by 15th

December, he/she should inform the University

from the University's book depot by producing a

letter from the concerned Study Centre to the effect

that he / she has not been given his/her SLM from

his/her study centre. University will take necessary

steps in the regard.

The Self Learning Material (SLM) has been

very carefully prepared by the learned and experi-

enced teachers. As such, SLM will, surely, be useful

in preparing the students to understand their

subjects and answer all examination related

questions. However, students are advised to scout

for more learning material by reading reference

books and other matters concerning the subject.

of the University’s accounts in these two

Banks, in which the amount is to be depos-

ited, are given in Para 13 of this Prospectus. It

is in student’s own interest that he buys the

payment of prescribed late fee.

(iii) Every student must deposit the course fee,

prescribed for the 2nd/3rd year of the course,

their course fee.

course, fails to appear either at Part-I or Part-II or

Part-III examination, as the case may be, or fails to

pass the examination, may be allowed to take

subsequent examinations, on payment of pre-

scribed examination fee, without being required to

complete the course again, but such an opportunity

shall be given only in two consecutive examination

Note 2: A student of any course (except students

of MILS, BLIS, Post Graduate Diploma or

Intermediate Courses), who has been

declared to have failed in three or less than

Examination Application Form and the Examina-

tion Admit Card, showing their intention to re-

appear at the ensuing examination, and deposit the

the assignments, each carrying equal marks, shall

be evaluated for the purpose of examination. It is

again emphasized that writing of two assignments

in each theory paper, where no practical / project

work is prescribed, is compulsory and unless it is

done and assignment copy submitted to the

University on the date of the examination in

between examination period of the theory paper,

the study requirement of the student will not be

taken to have been completed and he/she will be

declared to have failed. Besides, it has, now, been

decided by the University to club the marks

obtained by a student in his/her assignment work

/project work with the marks obtained by him/her

in the written examination of that paper to deter-

mine his/her pass parentage in the concerned

paper. Hence, it is in student’s interest that he/she

submits the assignment work in time.

Students are also advised to prepare their

assignments very carefully and meticulously. They

must write assignment in their own handwriting.

Assignment answers should not be copied from the

learning material supplied by the University or

from any other source. Assignments must be

submitted in the answer books provided to the

students by the University for this purpose. In no

case, assignment written in private copy will be

accepted by the University. In case of loss of

assignment copy / copies fresh assignment copy /

copies may be procured from the University on

payment of Rs. 100.00 by bank draft. Similarly,

Project-Work, wherever prescribed, must also be

submitted by the fixed date, failing which the

student will be deemed to have failed in the con-

cerned subject.

Practical Classes, wherever prescribed, are

35. Practical Classes must be

completed to complete the Course

part of the course and must be completed by the

prescribed date. Practical classes in all Science

subjects, Geography, Computer Science and

Psychology are arranged at the Head Quarters of

the University, while practical classes in para-

medical (kept in abeyance) and certain other

courses in agricultural science are organized

outside the University in reputed laboratories /

institutions developed by private entrepreneurs in

the concerned areas. These laboratories are taken

by the University on contract basis where students

are attached for practical training. All such labora-

tories are, however, located in Patna town only.

For MCA, BCA and CIC students, all practical

classes in computer application are held at the

University Head Quarters at Patna, where the

University has developed a well equipped and

fully automated computer laboratory of about 350

high end computers with latest procesors The

MCA and BCA students are given atleast 105 and

72 hours of practical training respectively in

computer application in each Laboratory-based

paper of their study. Every student is allotted an

independent computer and trained under supervi-

sion of expert computer professionals. Hence,

A view of the Science Laboratory in the University

every student is advised take computer practical

classes very seriously and regularly, failing which

he would not be able to pass the practical examina-

tion and, thus, fail in the entire examination.

The University has also introduced a package

of practical trainnig programmes for all its students

studying in Journalism and Mass Communication,

Library Science, Commerce subjects etc. The

students of Journalism and Mass Communication

programme are also trained in print and electronic

media through attachement in these areas with

Press and T.V. channels.

Practical classes for I.Sc., B.Sc., M.Sc. and all

other subjects, where practicals are prescribed,

shall commence from the dates as mentioned in

Annexure ’II’. Commencement of practical train-

ing classes in para-medical courses will also be as

per schedule given in Annexure II. The practical

examination will be held immediately on comple-

tion of the practical classes / training.

The University has developed a most modern

and scientific library of about 55,000 titles. Some of

very rare books in subjects, like, Archaeology,

36. Library

A Computer Class in progress

History, Religion,Lliterature, Gandhian thought,

Anthropology, Geography, Political Science and

Computer Application are available in the library.

The library is fitted with big size Plasme T.V. screen,

DVD etc. for display of education related audio-

visuals and computerised projection of other

teaching materials.The students are advised to

make full use of the library facilities.

(A) The University conducts examination

separately at the end of each year of every

programme. Thus, even for Intermediate

students (IA/I. Com./I.Sc.), the annual

examinations will be held at the end of each

year of study. In other words, first term end

examination for Intermediate students will

be organised at the end of first year of study.

The final and the second term end examina-

tion will be held on completion of the

second year of study. Similarly, Bachelor

students are subjected to annual examina-

tions conducted separately at the end of 1st,

2nd and 3rd year of study. The P.G. Students

are also required to take two separate

examinations, first conducted at the end of

1st year and the second conducted at the

end of 2nd year of study.

As per regulations of the University, it is

necessary for all students of all programmes

of the University (Intermediate, Graduate,

Post Graduate etc.) to pass each Part of the

examination separately. In other words, a

student will not be promoted/admitted to

2nd part unless he/she has passed 1st Part of

the programme or to 3rd Part unless he/she

has passed 2nd part of the programme.

However, the final result is prepared and

division decided by adding marks obtained

by a student in all the years of his /her

examination.

It is also compulsory for every student to

pass separately in each paper of his/her

study before he/she can be declared to have

passed in that part of the examination. A

minimum of 33% of marks is necessary in

most of the programmes to pass separately

in each paper. However, the pass percentage

in each of the Honours papers is 45%. To

determine the aforesaid 45% of marks in

Honours paper and 33% in other papers, the

marks obtained by the students, both in

term end written examination and the

practical examination /home assignment /

project work of that paper, as the case may

be, are clubbed and added together to

determine the pass marks in that paper.

However, if a student has secured zero mark

in written examination of any paper or in

practical examination / home assignment /

project work, he/she will be deemed to have

failed in that paper. For more details please

refer to instructions given in respect of each

programme at the appropriate place in this

prospectus.

(B) In case a student fails to submit his/her

assignment along with written examina-

tion, he/she shall be declared failed and

shall have to repeat the year.

There is no provision of improvement exami-

nation in any programme of the Nalanda Open

University. As such, students need not to bank on

improvement of their performance through

improvement examination.

The dates of examinations, as given in para 39

(A) above, are almost final and will not be changed

except for some very grave reasons of which

students will be informed separately through

advertisement in the newspapers. The students

should, therefore, prepare themselves, to appear at

the forthcoming examinations as per above given

schedule.

At present, all examinations of the University

are conducted at Patna. For this purpose, the

University has developed an ultra-mordern air-

tronic cameras for stopping use of unfair means is

examinations.

The examination is monitored throughout on

closed circuit TV cameras, with facilities for contin-

uous video recording. As such, no copying or

cheating is possible and any examinee indulging in

any type of malpractice is caught immediately with

incontrovertible evidence of his/her malpractice

having been recorded on tape. Hence, examinees

are advised to come prepared to answer their

examination in a totally fair and un-blemished

manner as there is no scope of cheating or malprac-

tice. The examination centre can house upto 1000

examinees at a time. The University may also hire

other examination centres situated in educational

institutions in Patna. Examination may be con-

ducted in three shifts.

sion of 500 students may qualify for becoming a

new Examination Centre provided the centre

year examination of every course are arranged in

order of merit and placed on the Notice Board of

the University for information of all concerned. A

general press note, announcing publication of

examination or practical examination/home

assignment, as the case may be, in any paper,

he/she will be deemed to have failed in that paper.

Failure in one paper will mean failure in

examination. Hence students must strive hard to

pass in all the papers separately.

rants for competitive tests. Keeping current global

picture in mind, the University has revised sylla-

bus for M.Com. students, incorporating the latest

knowledge on the subject.

Master of Commerce programme is of two

years duration divided into Part I and Part II, each

Part consisting of eight papers. Each paper carries

100 marks, divided into term end theoretical

written examination and home assignment /practi-

cal work in a ratio of 80:20. Failure in one paper will

mean failure in that Part of the examination. Hence,

students must strive to pass in all the papers. It is

necessary to pass Part I of the examination before a

student can be promoted to Part II. In order to pass

each part of the examination, it is, now, compulsory

for every student, to secure at least 33% of marks in

each paper. To determine 33% of marks in each

paper, the marks obtained by the candidate, both in

the term end theoretical written examination and

the practical examination/home assignment, as the

case may be, will be clubbed and counted together

and percentage determined accordingly. However,

if a candidate has failed to appear or secured zero

mark in term end theoretical examination or

(D) Master’s Degree Course in Library

and Information Science (MLIS)

Objective: The Master’s Degree programme in

Library and Information Science is tailored to

impart knowledge and training which is necessary

for effective organization and management of

libraries and information units. The main purpose

of the programme is to help those, who have

already acquired Bachelor’s degree in Library and

Information Science and are employed in different

libraries, to upgrade their professional knowledge

and skill for betterment of their employment

opportunity and career prospect.

The course consists of 8 papers, each carrying

100 marks, split into written examination /home

Assignment / practical as per details given below.

From 2005 session, the University has introduced

practical training in computer application in paper

VI of the course for all students opting for MLIS

course, where students will be required to under-

take practical training in computer usages (20

marks) as this is considered important for efficient

management of libraries. Similarly a new paper on

advanced Library classification and Library

cataloguing has been introduced to keep students

abrest of new library classification / cataloguing

techniques.

In order to pass MLIS examination, it will be

necessary for every student, to secure atleast 33% of

marks in each paper. To determine 33% of marks in

each paper, the marks obtained by the candidate,

both in the term end theoretical written examina-

tion and practical examination/home assignment,

as the case may be, will be clubbed and counted

together and percentage determined accordingly.

However, if a candidate has faild to appear or

secured zero mark in the term end theoretical

examination or practical examination/home

assignment, in any paper, he/she will be deemed to

have failed in that paper. Failure in one paper will

mean failure in the entire examination. Hence,

students must strive hard to pass in all the papers

separately.

(D) Para-Medical Certificate Courses (Kept in abeyance)

The University, now, offers para-medical

courses in ten programmes, details of which are

given hereunder.

There are practical training contents in all the

para-medical courses. Since all these courses are of

highly technical nature, hence no student shall be

permitted to take up his/her examination in

practical papers unless he/she would have received

his/her practical training in the concerned paper

(s). Candidates failing to receive their practical

training or receiving it only partly will have to wait

to complete their training in the next batch for

which he/she will have to apply and deposit

prescribed fee by 15th of October next year so that

his/her training can be organized on time.
