A "single sitting" degree is a program in India that allows students to condense a three year bachelor's Post Graduate degree program into one year 6 months of study. At the end of the course of study, the student completes exit exams in a single sitting hence the term single sitting degree. While at one time single sitting degrees were a recognised educational offering in India, the single sitting degree has since been discontinued. Unfortunately, students looking for a quick and easy way to earn a bachelor's degree.
In India, a three year bachelor's degree PG has become the recognised standard. In order to complete a three year bachelor's degree PG program, students must study at least 15 to 20 different subjects and pass a comprehensive exam in each subject. A thesis project in the student's major area of study must be completed by the end of the third year of study. In contrast, a single sitting degree must either make an attempt at a program curriculum that includes each of these 12 subjects in just a year, or must compromise degree requirements by teaching fewer subjects or watering down the exit exams. Neither of these options is considered an acceptable alternative, leading to the discontinuation of single sitting degree programs.
There are a variety of distance learning options that students can utilise in lieu of a single sitting degree. Accredited colleges and universities offer classes during evenings, weekends, online, and by mail that a student can plan and complete around an existing work schedule or other commitments. Distance learning programs are offered in a wide variety of disciplines in the liberal arts and the sciences. Distance learning requires that a student be highly motivated and able to study independently while maintaining a self designed study regimen. Students who take distance learning classes must discipline themselves, since there is no daily interaction with students and teachers, nor any requirement to attend classes. For students who are able to self direct their studies, distance learning is a good option.
If the student had earlier been a student of the first year or second year or third year of a programme in a recognised college or School of distance education or directorate or institute of correspondence courses of a recognised university and had discontinued for whatever reason, he she is eligible for One sitting admission to the second year or third year of the name programme respectively.
