1. The fulfilment of these general and special objectives will call for the provision of a variety
of postgraduate programmes which may be classified broadly into:
(a) long-term research-oriented courses of study and
(b) training; and courses of shorter duration and of practical orientation.

2. The research oriented postgraduate programmes lead to the research degrees of M.A., M.Sc., M.Ed., MPM, M.Phil., Ph.D. Others leading to non-thesis or professional degrees such as M.B.A.

3. Apart from serving specific ends, the various diploma courses may also serve additionally to enable students to pursue the main subjects of their first degree at some depth, or to extend their range beyond the boundaries of their first degree, or even to enter into entirely new fields.
