Hello,

UGC now allows candidates to pursue two courses simultaneously, however the condition is one is to be done through distance mode and another through regular mode, the colleges may be the same or different, it doesn't matter however the mode of study for each course has to be through regular mode and another through distance mode, hence if you're doing graduation in distance mode, you can opt for diploma in elementary education through regular mode.

Hello Candidate ,

An in-person, proctored certification exam (optional) will be conducted at Rs. 1000/- per course and a certificate is provided through the participating institutions and industry, when applicable.

All the best

Yeah! I have applied and given exam for SWAYAM. Usually the exam centers are in different places like IT Labs, Government Engineering colleges etc where there is a support of a good number of computers.

In kolkata, I got seat in TCS Gitobitan which is in Saltlake. So the center will differ from place to place.

I hope my answer helps. All the very best for your future endeavors!
