Mumbai : The Institute of Distance Education (IDE) of Mumbai University is going to offer courses in Law, MBA and Psychology, rarely offered by the distance education mode.
An official from the varsity said, "We have been offering several flexible courses from time to time. The recent addition of the Bachelor's of Preparatory Programme (BPP) makes the institute more alluring to students. We have decided to change the name to IFOL to keep up with the changing needs of students." |

A couple of options are being considered by the University for renaming, including IFOL and the Institute of Distance and Open Learning (IDOL). However, IFOL has received approval from 80 percent of the officials.
It was decided by the authorities 15 years ago to change the name of the institute from IDE to the Institute of Flexible and Open Learning (IFOL).
The IDE was set up in 1971-72 to meet the requirements of students who have been away from an institute due to economic and social constraints.
The IDE was first known as the Directorate of Correspondence Courses and was renamed IDE in 1993.
