Is an IGNOU degree valid for Kerala PSC now? Also is an IGNOU distance learning BCom and MCom valid for a lecturer post in Kerala PSC?

SS

Studied Political Science and International Relations at Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU) (Graduated 2014)

 It is important for you to keep in mind that degrees earned through any mode, such as regular, evening classes, correspondence, or private, from any university recognized by the University Grants Commission (UGC), are valid and equivalent for any government job. This means that regardless of the method in which you earned your degree, it will be considered valid as long as it was obtained from a UGC-recognized university.

If you are pursuing a degree through distance education, it is important to ensure that the program is recognized by both the UGC and the Distance Education Council (DEC). The DEC is controlled by Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU), so you can be confident in the validity of your distance education degree if it is from IGNOU.

In summary, it is crucial for you to ensure that your degree is from a UGC-recognized university, regardless of the mode of education. Additionally, if you are pursuing a degree through distance education, make sure that it is recognized by both the UGC and DEC, with IGNOU being a reliable option. By ensuring that your degree meets these requirements, you can feel confident in pursuing a government job with your degree.

Is it tough to pass the MCA from IGNOU?

SK
Swaleha Khan Posted On : October 20th, 2022
MCA from Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU)

MCA IGNOU is unquestionably difficult. Especially the third semester of mathematics. It is more difficult than regular MCA and B.tech computer science programs. Many students were unable to pay the fees for their Btech after completing their 12th grade. They could have become financially better off if they had gotten a job while also studying MCA IGNOU and were able to pay the nominal fees charged by MCA IGNOU.

Some people may have missed out on engineering graduation because they did not receive proper guidance during their 12th year. When such people enter the corporate world, they have a good idea of what they want and then decide to take a course, and the bright ones take MCA IGNOU and pass it.

The conclusion is that yes, of course, MCA IGNOU is absolutely the most difficult computer science course in India. And if someone has passed it, you can be confident that she/he is very good.

Where do IGNOU exams generally take place at their study center or in nearby schools?

JT
Juby Thomas Posted On : October 20th, 2022
M.A. in Economics, Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU)

IGNOU exams are never given at your study centre. It only happens for practical and internal exams. Typically, an examinee can select their examination centre from the options provided by IGNOU during the examination form-filling process (Online).

It should be noted that there is no guarantee that IGNOU will provide you with the same examination centre you selected during the form-filling process; this may change in some exceptional cases or circumstances. If you do not select an option, IGNOU will locate your examination centre near you. It would be in the same city where you are studying by default.

It could be any government school, college, or other institution that offered IGNOU courses. This means that your examination centre can only be one of the IGNOU study centres.

What is the purpose of a study center/regional center in IGNOU?

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

Every state in India may have at least one IGNOU regional centre. Some people may have multiples. Kerala, for example, has two.

Regional centres provide admission, textbooks, and results, among other things.

Some courses are available for study in regional centres, but they are uncommon. Study centres are typically used for classes as well as the administration of theory and practical exams.

There are numerous IGNOU study centres located throughout the state and the country. Typically, each district in a state has at least one IGNOU study centre. However, this is conditional on the state. One issue is that not all study centres offer all IGNOU courses.

It is possible that the course you want to study is not available at your nearest study centre. As a result, you must choose a study centre based on your desired course. This is due to the fact that a course that requires practical classes requires a study centre with computer facilities, and so on.

You can attend classes at the study centre, and before the exams, the study centre sends all of your information to the regional centre, such as your attendance, assignment submission, and so on. The regional centre then combines all of this information with your term-end exam results to produce a final result.

How do I get a transcript of WES Canada PR from IGNOU?

SA
Shreya Agarwal Posted On : October 18th, 2022
Studied Bachelor of Technology Degrees at Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU)

If you live in a metropolis, go to IGNOU and get an application form for transcripts; otherwise, they say the same is available on the IGNOU website, which you can download, fill out, and attach a photocopy of your consolidated marks sheets, graduation certificate, and a Demand draught as specified on the form. That's all. Courier it and wait for the transcripts, which will be sent to the registered address on file with ignou. IGNOU's support team is ineffective, failing to respond to phone calls or emails and refusing to send transcripts to the address provided on the application form. They will only deliver to the registered address. Depending on your luck, it could take 2 to 3 months.

Get the form, fill it out, attach your marks/grade sheet, and your degree/graduation certificate, and then go to the Delhi ignou examination center. Take a reference or confirmation slip and try to get the personal contact information of someone in the department, then follow up with him. It should be completed in 12-15 days. When you're ready, go personally to collect.

Contact the y-axis concierge service; the service will be charged to you (approx 10k). You should have it in 15-20 days. Basically, they will go with option 2 because they will have branches in almost every city in India.

 

Note that if you are an IHM student, you will also need NCHMCT Transcripts, which is a separate and relatively easier process.

What is the meaning of assignment number at IGNOU?

KM
Krishh Mathur Posted On : October 18th, 2022
IAS Aspirant, BA Major in Psychology, Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU)

You don't need to be concerned about it. In IGNOU, there is no such thing as an assignment number. You may have been perplexed by the term Assignment Code. IGNOU only requires an enrolment number.

When one talks about "assignment code," they are referring to the information on the top right side of your assignment question paper. It displays the year of your assignments (session), such as 2019-2020 or 2021-2022. It shows the validity of your assignment, such as which year it needs to appear in your TEE.

You must include the assignment code, as well as other details, on the first page of your IGNOU assignment.

How tough is it to score 70 in the IGNOU BA?

KK
Kamya Kamra Posted On : October 20th, 2022
BA from Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU)

You must conduct conceptual research. You must write answers that are free of grammatical errors. If you look through previous year question papers, you will notice that IGNOU asks less traditional questions. IGNOU asks questions based on your concept, such as "what do you think," "what is your opinion," and so on. Everything is contained in the study materials. You simply must take both the assignment and the TEE seriously. 

Start preparing for each TEE one month in advance, and dedicate that one month solely to your BA degree. It is advised to watch videos and read articles from GOOGLE. Concentrate on conceptual research. It will be beneficial to achieve more than 65% overall. It would not be difficult to obtain a 70% in IGNOU. Just consistency is required.
