There is no distant education programme for BSC/MSC degree in botany and there cannot be one in near future too. This is because a science subject requires practicals in laboratories as of now, (almost 50% grading is on practical -laboratory work). If you already have MSC degree (botany), you can try entrance examinations for PHD in any university. If you get through, the PHDs can be carried out as a full scholar or part (from working away from the guide's dept) depending on rules of university and guide's choice. Mumbai univ and Pune univ both have MSC by research (although it is not common). But in both, some coursework is necessary, and a guide and host institute are a must. Only distance education course at the moment in "field botany" is at BNHS. Another weekly taught course is at ARI Pune Regards Aparna
