The Directorate of Distance &
Continuing Education is a
constituent institution of the
Utkal University established with
the objective of providing quality
education to the vast majority of
working and adult learners and
continuing education to all sections
of the society through Distance
and/or Continuing Education mode.
We aspire to create a learning
society and fulfill the national
objectives of education for all.
DDCE has grown out of The
UNIVERSITY EVENING COLLEGE
established in 1962. As the Evening
College, it played an important
role in providing higher education
to a large section of the State
and the Central Government
employees. As per UGC guidelines
the University Evening College was
converted to Directorate of
Correspondence Courses (DCC). |

It worked as such from 1974 to
1996. As DCC, it offered courses
leading to I.A/I.Com./B.A./B.Com.
With the establishment of Council
of Higher Secondary Education in
the mid eighties, I.A./I.Com.
programme was abolished. DCC
offered B.Ed. Course for a brief
period from 1987 to 1990. In the
year 1996, in pursuance of the
UGC guidelines, the DCC was
converted into Directorate of
Distance & Continuing Education (DDCE).
Since then DDCE has started moving
in a new direction with vigour
and dynamism. It is now committed
to provide need based professional
and employment oriented innovative
courses along with the traditional
ones.
Since 1997 DDCE is offering courses
in Computer Application. In 1999
DDCE forayed into Management
education. DDCE has also
established Soft Skill Development
Cell ( SSDC) since 2006 to improve
the employability of the students.
Presently DDCE has reoriented
itself towards industry academia
collaboration. It has collaborated
with Genpact , HCL, ICICI Bank
Ltd., Infosys and TCS etc. for
placement and collaborative academic
programmes. DDCE is also
emphasizing training of the young
teachers and authors and research
scholars etc. It has also trained
