Shimla (Himachal Pradesh) [India], October 7 (ANI/PRNewswire): In a pioneering step, top-ranked Himachal Pradesh-based Shoolini University has launched online degree programmes with pay-on-placement options.
To begin with, the programmes will be offered for BBA, B Com (Hons), BA Journalism and Mass Communication, and MA English. These programmes will start from November 15 this year as per the UGC guidelines. Students are not required to visit the campus for any duration during the programmes.

President, Innovation and Marketing and Director of the Yogananda School of Artificial Intelligence Ashish Khosla said, "Our objective is to ensure that the online programmes we offer have a clear focus on job placements. Our entire range of online programmes will emphasise on cultivating skills and knowledge that help students procure quality jobs immediately after completion of the course. As part of this initiative, we are also in the process of signing MoUs with leading companies in sectors such as IT, Banking and Finance, Insurance, Retail, Media, and Hospitality."
