we switch distance learning in regular in 1st year starting
hi,
see the two department and curriculum of studies different for distance learning and regular mode of course. distance learning course are mainly offered at distance education university, where state government or private colleges offers regular course in full time mode.
you did not mention about any particular course or institute name. now it would depends on the university or institute you would take admission for. if the college authority permits, you may change course or switch to regular mode.
hope you understand.
