Since the programme commences on October 1, 2010, will I miss out on anything by enrolling on the last date i.e.
September 30, 2010?
No, you will not miss out on any part of the programme. The programme is designed to be delivered asynchronously, which means that learners do not necessarily have to progress at the same pace. Unlike how you may have experienced conventional education in your school and college, the PGDLPO programme allows you to learn at your own pace, and so, even if you enrol by the last date, you will still experience the programme as if it were made specifically for you and was meant to start the day you enrol!
