What is the procedure for pursuing BA from IGNOU?

There are no special requirements for admission to B.A.

All you need is a 12th (intermediate) diploma from a recognized board (state or CBSE, ICSE).

Previously, admission was only available through regional centers. However, an online system is now available.

IGNOU offers admission in two sessions, one in July and one in December.

Each course has a different fee; for political science, the fee is Rs. 2,000 per year or Rs. 6,000 for all three years.

For e.g:

If you want to do a B.A (graduation) in political science, you must read three compulsory course codes (Humanities, Foundation in Hindi, and Foundation in English) in the first year and choose two courses of political science with credit of 16 (two courses each 8 credits). It is possible to complete 16 credits in the first year.

In the second year, one course is required, which is the foundation in science and technology, and the rest of the courses are optional. However, you must complete at least four courses (including S&T) in the second year, and two application-oriented courses in the third year (it is a very easy course, one can do it in one week each)

For an honors degree, one must complete 48 credits (each course equals 8 credits) in one subject; for political science, 48 credits must be completed in political science. Geography requires 48 credit hours. If a student fails to complete 48 credits in a single subject, he will be awarded only a graduation degree, not an honors degree.
