IMU has come out with an innovative idea of a blended learning mode for MPP. The contents of MPP programme will be delivered using blended mode delivery, i.e., online and face-to-face classes. In blended delivery, some face-to-face classes are replaced by online learning. Much of the MPP content is delivered this way, with the actual percentage varying between modules. This percentage is based on the suitability of the content and the type of learning activity planned.

Yes. Blended mode delivery has received MQA and MoE approval. [JPT/BPP (U) 1000-801/2/Jld. 12(8)].
