Credit System

Credit System

MITSDE has developed a credit system that facilitates every learner to upgrade skills and further his or her career through distance learning. MITSDE comprehends the divided attention of working professionals between work and personal commitments and hence has a flexible, student-friendly credit system.

A credit measure is the unit to measure the effort taken by the student to study the subject. One credit point equals to 10 hours of study. You can effectively earn these credit points while studying course content or doing a practical assignment.

The main purpose of having a credit transfer policy is to help you learn and excel, without taking a career break.

    To get the benefit of the credit system

  • You should apply for credit transfer before the commencement of the program. If the results of the previous program based on which credit transfer needs to be availed are awaited, then before attempting the first semester exams of the program enrolled for, the application should be done.

  • Credit transfer is allowed only if the previous course, based on which credit transfer is claimed, is from MITSDE only or from MITSDE’s approved list of institutions.

  • Credit is transferred only for programs that are common within MITSDE programs offered.

  • You are allowed to carry maximum 16 credits across two semesters in a one-year program and 48 credits across for two semesters in a 18 month and a two-year program. The final decision will be taken by the Board of Studies BoS.

  • For availing the credit transfer, you should have passed and completed the previous course with the minimum passing criteria of the institute/university from where the previous course is done.
