C2, 3 and 4 ✓ Correct

D3, 4 and 5

Correct answer: (C) 2, 3 and 4

Explanation

Non-conventional learning is characterised by improvement of quality (2), cost effectiveness (3) and linkage to employment (4).

It is learner-oriented and flexible, so teacher oriented (1) belongs to conventional teaching instead.

It operates mainly through distance and open modes, so on campus (5) does not fit it.

Cost effectiveness (3) arises from its mass and self-paced delivery.

Employment linkage (4) reflects its vocational, need-based purpose.

IGNOU (1985) is the national open university representing non-conventional, distance education in India.
