Best Answer

First open university of India is Dr. BR Ambedkar Open University.

Distance education was initiated in India, in the form of a correspondence course in 1962 by the Delhi University as a tertiary level education. Establishment of exclusive institutions called "open universities" for imparting distance education is rather a recent phenomenon.

Andhra pradesh Government took the first initiative in 1982, to start the Andhra Pradesh Open University (now renamed Dr. BR Ambedkar Open University) at Hyderabad. In 1985 the Government of India, through an Act of Parliament, established the Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU). Now there are 14 Open Universities in India - 1 national and 13 state open universities.
