The first university in India to start a correspondence course was

AAndhra Pradesh Open University

BIGNOU

CDelhi University ✓ Correct

DNone of the above

Correct answer: (C) Delhi University

Explanation

Delhi University was the first in India to start a correspondence course, in 1962.

Andhra Pradesh Open University was an open university, not the first correspondence pioneer.

IGNOU came much later as a national open university.

A 'none' response is unfounded since Delhi University holds this distinction.

Its School of Correspondence Courses widened access to higher education.

This model preceded the full open-university system in India.
