The Head of each RC / LSC, designated as Joint Director / Deputy Director / Assistant
Director / Coordinator, serves as a link between the University, the academic counsellors and
the students. The students receive guidance and support from experienced counsellors in their
subjects / courses concerned at the Learner Support Centres.
Every student admitted to a Program is attached to a LSC according to his / her convenience.
While the student’s choice will be given weightage, the University reserves the right of allotment
to any other centre on administrative or other reason.
Notes: (a) If the minimum number of eligible candidates (i.e., 10) is not registered at a study
centre, for that academic year, such candidates will be given admission at a nearby
study centre where 10 or more than 10 candidates are registered for admission.
(b) All Mondays and the Tuesdays following Second Saturday of the month are weekly
holidays for Study Centres, in addition to normal public holidays declared by the
Government. All Sundays, except declared as a public holiday, are working days
for the University Study Centres.
8) Evaluation System: The evaluation system of these four Advanced Diploma Programs
consists of two components: (a) Continuous Assessment (Assignments) – carries a
weightage of 30% and (b) Semester-End Examinations – carries a weightage of 70%.
That is, out of 100 marks for each course, 30 marks are assigned for Continuous
Assessment and 70 marks are assigned for Semester-End Examinations. The pass
marks for each course are 40. Students shall secure a minimum of 12 marks out of 30 in
assignments (6 marks minimum in each assignment out of 15) and a minimum of 28
marks out of 70 in the Semester-End Examinations to pass the course.
‘Project Report & Viva-Voce’ is the last course in the Second Semester of all programs. To get
the certificate awarded, as mentioned earlier, the student has to submit a Project Report and
attend Viva-Voce Examination also. This course also, like all other courses, has a weightage of
5 Credits, out of which 3 Credits are assigned to Project Work / Report and 2 Credits to the
Viva-Voce Examination.
Based on the performance of the student in both the Continuous Assessment and Semester-
End Examinations, Letter Grade and Grade Point will be awarded to the student.
Model Semester-End Question Paper is given at the end of the course material of each course.
The students shall download the assignments from the University websites (www.braou.ac.in
and / or https://www.braouonline.in/), write the answers and submit the assignments as per the
instructions uploaded along with the assignments.

10) Project Work Guidelines: Students are advised to read the ‘Guidelines for Preparing
Project Report’ carefully and proceed accordingly while working on the Project Report.
These Guidelines, along with the list of eligible Project Supervisors / Project Guides, will
be uploaded on the University Website separately.
Career Opportunities: India is a developing economy and both manufacturing and service
sectors are growing a fast rate in the country. There are career opportunities to the candidates
who possess required knowledge, skills and capabilities in different specialization areas in the
field of management. This program can make you a competitive candidate in the job market,
