Is an MSW from IGNOU University beneficial or not?
No. If you want proper exposure you should opt for MSW from a regular college. Only bookish knowledge is not enough for MSW. This is because when you work on some real business you fail to connect the dots and apply the knowledge practically.
Proper practical exposure teaches you a lot more than just books. It prepares you for the worst-case scenario. The trick is to gain knowledge in the best possible way to gain the maximum benefits.

You can get also get a job easily by contacting the IGNOU campus placement cell (CPC). You can get recruited in any IGNOU Regional Center (RC) or Study Centre (SC).
Do we need to submit all subject assignments in IGNOU?
IGNOU assignments are a significant part of tour assessments carrying a weightage of 30%. Also if you are a distance learner it’s your tool to facilitate 2-way communication between teacher and learner.
While writing assignments, make sure to save a copy with you while studying for your term-end examinations.
If you get the invigilator's comments on your assignments, contact your invigilator for the details. Distance learning is all about your eagerness to learn. Contact your invigilator for details in the comments. This will also develop a good bond between you two.
Lastly, collect your checked assignments before you appear for exams. Going through them will help you answer the questions better.
What is the course structure for BA Eng in IGNOU?

I am pursuing MA economics from IGNOU. What are the books which we should follow?
The study material provided by IGNOU is elaborate and more than enough. You don't really need books except for these 3 subjects:
MEC 001 Microeconomic Analysis: For the subject, you might need some extra notes. The best way is to google the topics. You can make notes on the numerical part especially. Usually, the numerical questions are the same as the previous years. Still, it is recommended that you don't skip the study material.
MEC 003 Quantitative Methods in Economics: For this subject, you can make the best use of YouTube videos. Also practising from the previous year's papers will prove to be very helpful.
MEC 105 Indian Economic Policy: The study material provided for this particular subject needs to be updated with the latest data and figures. So it's highly recommended that you prepare topic-wise notes after thorough study.
Ultimately focus on the syllabus whichever source you are referring to.
What is the cost of changing subjects in IGNOU?
The cost of changing subjects in IGNOU is as follows:
-
Change in Elective/Course is permitted within 30 days from the receipt of the first set of course material on payment of INR 300/- for a 2/4 credit course
-
INR 600/- for a 6/8 credit course for undergraduate courses.
-
For the Master’s Degree Programme, it is INR 500/- for 2/4 credit
-
INR 1000/- for 6/8 credits course
All these payments are to be made by way of a demand draft drawn in favour of IGNOU payable at the place of concerned Regional Centre. All such requests for a change of Elective/ Course should be addressed to the concerned Regional Centre only as per schedule.
However, the first point -Change in Elective/Course is permitted within 30 days from the receipt of the first set of course material on payment of INR 300/- for a 2/4 credit course is subject to doubt. This is because many of my friends have changed their elective courses after two or three months.

But if you want your BA degree to be a BA major, then you must complete 48 credits in one specific subject (subject in which you want a BA major).

-
