Asia Pacific Institute of Management Studies
becomes the Partner Institute of
Pondicherry University for the Twinning Program
in MBA & Specialized MBAs.
Concept of Twinning Programmes


Pondicherry University is one of the Central Universities, established by an Act of Parliament No.53 of 1985 offers a good number of Research Degrees, Post Graduate Courses and Degree Programmes under regular mode.

The University has established the Directorate of Distance Education during 1995 and has been offering PG Degree, PG Diploma, and Degree Programmes in the country with 65 Service Centres catering to the needs of over 25000 students.

The University has recently introduced the concept of offering courses under Twinning Programme by entering into a Memorandum of Understanding with reputed institutions having Intellectual Resources, infrastructural and learning facilities.

Twining is an innovative educational concept which widens the scope of educational opportunity and access for students, keeping in view of their weekly schedules of learning Time.

The Twinning concept envisages a tie-up between Directorate of Distance Education, Pondicherry University and the Asia Pacific Institute of Management Institute Studies, New Delhi. The Management and other programmes which are offered by Pondicherry University through Distance Mode are also offered at this Institution. This concept gives a gamut of choices to the student community to learn and assimilate the nitty gritty of the subjects of the various programmes through a well-designed and meticulously executed academic rigour with standard courseware, learning kits and virtual ways.

The marked difference between the conventional Distance Education Programmes and this Twinning Programme is that the students would undergo a rigorous extended classroom sessions on all Sundays/Evening hours during the academic year instead of the usual FIVE days Personal Contact Programmes.
