Offering higher education through Distance Mode is important step taken by Kuvempu University so as to help student community in their zeal for pursuing Post - Graduate studies. The necessity of this was felt by the University when larger number of students, who wanted seats for P.G. Studies, could not be accommodated in our regular P.G. Programmes.

The University believes that Distance Education is an equally good avenue to be made available to interested students. The Degrees offered by the Directorate of Distance Education are equivalent to that of regular degrees. The DDE is offering a total number of 40 courses directly in various faculties at the U.G., P.G. and Diploma levels.
