"This is for the first time in India that the teaching of Chinese language and culture will be imparted through online demonstration via IGNOU satellite," IGNOU said in a release.

"The online programmes are especially meant for those business schools in Delhi and outside Delhi which would like to introduce this programme to their B-School students," it said, adding that study materials, teaching and examinations under the scheme will be held through online mode.

The Diploma in Chinese language and Culture (DCLC) is a one year programme which can be completed in maximum two years duration with no entrance test. Admission to this programme is based on first cum first serve basis with maximum 30 seats for face-to-face mode.
