Is an IGNOU degree valid for UPSC?

AM

B.A.(Hons.) in English (language) & Psychology, Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU)

You will be qualified. It should be a well-known university. You can check the eligibility criteria listed below:

Academic Qualification for IAS Exams: 

  • The candidate must have a degree from one of the Universities established by an Act of the Central or State Legislatures in India, or from another educational institution established by an Act of Parliament or declared to be deemed as a University under Section 3 of the University Grants Commission Act, 1956, or an equivalent qualification.

  • Candidates who have taken or plan to take the qualifying exam and are awaiting results are also eligible to take the Preliminary Examination. All such candidates who qualify to take the Civil Services Main Examination must submit proof of passing the said exam with their application for the Main Examination.

  • In exceptional cases, the UPSC may treat a candidate who lacks the aforementioned requisite qualification as an eligible candidate if he or she has passed an examination administered by another institution, the standard of which, in the Commission's opinion, justifies his or her admission.

  • Candidates with professional and technical qualifications that the government recognizes as equivalent to professional and technical degrees.

  • Candidates who have completed the final year of their MBBS or any other Medical Examination but have yet to complete their internship can also sit for the Main Examination. They must, however, submit a certificate from the University / Institution's concerned authority confirming that they passed the final professional medical examination along with their Main Examination application. 

At the interview stage, they must then produce a certificate from a competent authority stating that they have completed all of the requirements for the award of the Medical Degree (including internship).

Am I eligible for a government job after doing graduation from IGNOU distance education?

SJ
Sattvik Jain Posted On : October 14th, 2022
Studied Political Science and International Relations at Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU)

IGNOU is a reputable and accredited government distance learning university. It has been approved by both the UGC and the AICTE. So there is no doubt about the validity of IGNOU degrees now or in the future.

The second point to consider is Distance Education. Yes, degrees from open universities are not accepted for all types of jobs or vacancies. Approximately 10-15 years ago, the majority of government jobs required regular courses. This trend is currently changing.

IGNOU degrees are accepted in both cases. However, there are still very few government or private companies, such as TCS, that do not consider candidates from distance education. Because they are in short supply, you will have no trouble finding a job with an IGNOU degree. It also depends on the degree to some extent. Regular engineering or B.Ed degrees are still considered superior to distance degrees. Distance or regular mode courses such as BSc, Bcom, or BA are nearly equivalent.

In a nutshell, an IGNOU degree qualifies for the majority of government jobs.

What is the best distance learning MBA Program: Symbiosis Pune, IMT Ghaziabad, NMIMS or IGNOU?

SL
Shivangi Luthra Posted On : October 15th, 2022
MBA, MCA in MBA in Human Resource Management & Master of Computer Applications, Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU)

IGNOU has an international reputation because it serves over 3 million students and offers over 200 courses. It is the world's largest university. In the long run, their curriculum is worthwhile, and there are very few negative reviews on IGNOU MBA online.

Symbiosis, IMT, and NMIMS each have their unique value and attractiveness in terms of employment. Regardless, if you end up learning the subject to the best of your ability, the university name serves only as decoration on top of the dish.

MBAs are well-suited to leadership roles such as managing a team. Your decision to work in your chosen field of engineering, where you will learn concepts such as how a company hierarchy works, its SOP, customer service, and so on, is a good one. This will provide you with a fresh perspective on the value and/or necessity of an MBA.

Work experience combined with an MBA from a government-approved university will be extremely beneficial (SMU is a big no-go area). Work experience always provides more comprehensive and valuable knowledge than books and degrees. Pursue excellence, and success will always follow.

Are master's degrees from IGNOU acceptable for admission into Ph.D. courses in top universities?

PT
Parth Tyagi Posted On : October 20th, 2022
M.A. in Economics, Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU)

It is not only accepted, but it also falls into the H+ category. The H + classification simply indicates that the degrees earned at this institution are transferable to the university sector. It has nothing to do with a preliminary decision on whether this institution's qualifications can be equated with German higher education qualifications. It should be noted that no equivalence determination or evaluation of higher education institutions in Anabin occurs on the Status down. 

Contrary to popular belief, the question of whether a foreign institution corresponds to a German university or a German university of applied sciences is not answered. In the field of higher education, equivalence definitions and assessments are conducted solely in terms of final types and degrees.

At IGNOU, results are announced at fixed times for every program. The usual range of time is 1-3 months. IGNOU states the result declaration is 45 days from the end of exams. But most of the time, it's 60-65 days. The maximum time period is 3 months.

I missed my IGNOU assignment dates and the exams for the last session. Can I appear for the next session without reapplying?

AR
Amrita Rathod Posted On : October 17th, 2022
Studied at Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU)

You will receive the study material once you have enrolled in the year (first, second, or any as per the course) with the list of subjects. You are already aware of this.

IGNOU accepts assignments twice a year, which is required to take the course exam that session. Once in May and once in September. For the assignment, the exams are in June-July and December, respectively.

Every set of assignments for any subject (check the title page of the pdf file) is valid for one year. If you missed the exams in May, you can retake them in December if you submitted the same set in September.

If you missed the December exam as well, you must complete and submit a new set of assignments. Every new year, a new set is released; it is up to you to decide when he or she can take the exams and thus fill out the exam form after submitting the assignments on time. Please refer to the assignment title page to double-check the dates for that specific year.

Studied at Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU)

It is guaranteed that the study material provided by IGNOU is excellent. You'll have a great time going through them. It will undoubtedly provide you with a thorough understanding of the subject. However, it is not without difficulty. You get to work hard. If you want to study Economics via distance education, IGNOU is your best bet. 

However, pursuing it at a regular university in a face-to-face mode may be preferable because teachers can assist you with your difficulties. However, if you are already employed, MA in Economics from IGNOU is an excellent choice.

Where can I find free-solved assignments for IGNOU?

KT
Karan Takkar Posted On : October 17th, 2022
M.A ECO from Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU)

You can simply Google "free solved assignments" to find them. However, there is a catch. If you are enrolled in the January session, you may be able to find most assignments for free online. The assignments for the July session and the January session of the following year are the same at IGNOU. So your chances of finding them for free are good. However, if you are enrolled in the July session, you may not be able to find solved assignments online/offline for free.

However, you will find 99% of the assignment solutions in your IGNOU study material and exactly how you should do it. It will give you a good understanding of the subject. Ignore questions from previous years' papers and current assignments in TEE. You should complete your assignments on your own because it will undoubtedly help you in your TEE.

How do I get good marks in IGNOU assignment?

ST
Shubham Tiwari Posted On : October 20th, 2022
B.C.A in Bachelor of Computer Applications Degrees, Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU)

Download previous 3-5 years' question papers from the IGNOU website, depending on your time constraints. Look for answers to these questions in the IGNOU material. It is pointless to recommend guides because the majority of their answers do not adhere to the topic or syllabus.

Make a list of the most important points. Remember to take notes on the keywords. Highlighting these keywords while writing the exam will give the examiner the impression that you have a good understanding of the question.

Depending on the question, try to include some diagrams or maps. It will undoubtedly give you an advantage. Because you have not read the entire material, you may find it difficult to understand at times. In that case, Google the keywords or the context to get a good idea of what the problem is.

Prepare each previous question paper in this manner and revise it at least twice. Examine your assignment question as well.
