How Our Academic Year Works
Once operational post-approval, MSDU will follow a two-intake academic year aligned with UGC ODL regulations — a July intake (primary) and a January intake (secondary). Each semester will run for 20 weeks, including teaching, continuous assessment, term-end examinations, and result declaration. Live classes will be held primarily on weekends, with weekday recordings, doubt-clearing sessions, and self-paced study materials.
