Bhoj University Certification Human Rights: Fees 2026, Course Duration, Dates, Eligibility

Ans. Yes, the CHR programme offered by MPBOU is a UGC-DEB approved distance learning certificate. MPBOU is a state open university established by the Government of Madhya Pradesh and is recognized by the University Grants Commission (UGC). The certificate is valid for professional development purposes. However, for specific government job eligibility, candidates should verify the requirements of the respective recruitment authority, as certificate courses are generally considered add-on qualifications rather than primary eligibility criteria.

Ans. Absolutely. The CHR programme is specifically designed for working professionals. Since it is offered in distance/ODL mode, there are no mandatory daily classes. Students receive self-learning material (SLM) and can study at their own pace. The course is particularly targeted at police personnel, army officials, NGO workers, teachers, and administrative officers who wish to enhance their knowledge of human rights without disrupting their work schedule.

Ans. The CHR programme at MPBOU consists of three theory papers and one dissertation/assignment, each carrying 100 marks. The papers broadly cover: (1) Introduction to Human Rights - concepts, history, and international frameworks; (2) Human Rights in India - constitutional provisions, national laws, and institutions; (3) Human Rights in Practice - enforcement mechanisms, case studies, and role of NGOs. The dissertation/assignment requires students to apply their learning to a real-world human rights issue. The medium of instruction and examination is Hindi.

Ans. As per the MPBOU ordinance for the CHR programme, candidates who fail or are unable to appear in the examination due to unavoidable reasons are given one additional chance in the next session. If the student is still unable to clear the examination after this additional chance, they will need to seek fresh admission to the programme. This provision ensures that students are not permanently disadvantaged due to unforeseen circumstances.

Ans. Yes, the admission process is fully online. Students need to visit the MPOnline portal (mpbou.mponline.gov.in), select the CHR course, fill in the application form, upload the required documents (10th and 12th marksheets, photo ID, photograph, and caste certificate if applicable), and pay the registration fee of Rs. 300 online. There is no offline admission process. After successful submission, students receive an enrollment number which is used for all future correspondence with the university.

Ans. MPBOU has an extensive network of 568 study centres across 11 regional centres in Madhya Pradesh, covering Bhopal, Indore, Gwalior, Jabalpur, Rewa, Satna, Sagar, Ujjain, Chhindwara, Hoshangabad, and Barwani. Students are allotted a study centre based on their location at the time of admission. The study centres provide support for assignments, contact classes (if any), and examination centres. Students can contact the nearest regional centre or the university helpline for details about the study centre allotted to them.
