1. About the University
The Yashwantrao Chavan Maharashtra Open University (YCMOU) was set up in July1989 by Act
XX (1989) of the Maharashtra State Legislature. The degree/diploma of this University is treated as
equivalent to the degree/diploma of any other university for the purpose of employment in
government and semi-government establishments.
One of the major goals of the University is to create, preserve and disseminate knowledge to its
learners and the masses and thus become a ‘Mass-Varsity’. The emphasis, throughout, is on
developing educational programmes which qualify a person to get a better job, to start earning on his
own or help a working person to improve his career. Providing education through classroom-based
system is expensive, rigid and puts time constraints on the learners.
Technology based education of YCMOU provides the following benefits:
 It is cost effective.
 It has outreach to the masses.
 It is flexible: ‘learn anywhere and anytime and as per your pace and style of learning’.
2. About the School of Computer Science
The School of Computer Science is one of the eight schools of studies located at the headquarters of
the University. Through its quality policy, the School aims to enhance and sustain excellence of its
educational programmes. It has a vision to create computer literacy by taking computer education to
the masses. The School envisages to:
 Develop degree, postgraduate and research level computer programmes for creating
professional manpower required by the IT industries.
 Develop need-based and job-oriented short-term computer programmes to meet the huge
demand of IT skilled manpower in business and industry.
 Ensure relevance of programmes by updating the curriculum dynamically.
 Provide e-Learning support to its students.
 Establish tie-ups with industries and other educational institutions to share experience and
knowledge.
 Carry out research in multimedia, virtual reality, fuzzy logic, neural networks etc. that will
help in developing new methods, tools and techniques useful for computer education and
applications.
The School imparts computer education through its Authorized Study Centres.

3. Need for DCA Programme
There is a significant demand for skilled manpower for handling software, infrastructure, and services
in industries. There is also a shortage of manpower to provide IT training in schools, private computer
institutes, and industries. The IT-skilled-manpower shortage remains a problem for the all markets.
Keeping this in mind, the School of Computer Science has proposed the Diploma in Computer
Applications programme.

University Grants Commission Resolution (2004)
Fl-52/2000(CPP-II) '
The Registrar / Director
Of all the Indian Universities
(Deemed, State, Central Universities /
Institutions of National importance)
5 MAY 2004
Subject: Recognition of Degrees awarded by Open Universities.
Sir/Madam,
There are a number of open Universities in the country offering various degrees/diploma through the mode of nonformal education. The Open Universities have been established in the country by an Act of Parliament or State
Legislature in accordance with the provisions contained in Section 2(f) of University Grants Commission Act,
1956. These universities are, therefore, empowered to award degrees in terms of Section 22(1) of the UGC Act,
1956.
A circular was earlier issued vide UGC letter N.F.I-8/92(CPP) dated February, 1992 mentioning that the Certificate,
Diplomas and Degrees awarded by Indira Gandhi National Open University are to be treated equivalent to the
corresponding awards of the Universities in the country.
Attention is further invited to UGC circular No.Fl-25/93(CPP-II) dated 28th July, 1993 (copy
enclosed) for recognition of degrees and diplomas as well as transfer of credit for courses successfully completed by
students between the two types of universities so that the mobility of students from Open University stream to
traditional Universities is ensured without any difficulty.
The UGC has specified the nomenclature of degrees under Section 22(3) of the UGC Act, 1956 to ensure mandatory
requirements viz. minimum essential academic inputs required for awarding such degrees. A copy of Gazette
Notification regarding specification of degrees issued vide No.l-52/97(CPP-II) dated 31st January 2004 is enclosed.
The details are also given in UGC Web site: www.ugc.ac.in
May, I therefore request you to treat the Degrees / Diploma / Certificates awarded by the
Open Universities in conformity with the UGC notification on Specification of Degrees as
equivalent to the corresponding awards of the traditional Universities in the country.
Yours faithfully
(Dr. Mrs. Pankaj Mittal) Joint Secretary
