How frequently should I visit my study centre Guru Nanak College in Chennai of IGNOU if I am doing PG in rural development?
One of my friends had enrolled in IGNOU this year and is presently giving exams. He has been to his study centre to get books, submit assignments, clarify doubts, and at last to sit for the exams.
If you keep yourself updated about these essential things like the assignments, etc. Then you have no need to visit the study centre frequently. If necessary, visiting it once a month will be fine.
If your study centre responds well then you can call them on the particular days they attend calls.
But if you are a new candidate and are not familiar with the process, then it is recommended that you visit it in alternate weeks. This will help you get updated about receiving books, Roll no., admit card, etc.
What is the future after doing a PG in rural development from IGNOU?
It's one of those insignificant programs that won't help you advance in your career. MA courses in rural development or MA courses in public administration are worthless yet they are useful in Social Work though. However, too many have MSW degrees and are preferred over MPA and MARD candidates. Even in the government sector, Master's degrees in social work or sociology are required.
So it makes no difference whether you enroll in this PG program at IGNOU or another university. It might not work. You can, however, use this as a postgraduate degree. You should pursue a postgraduate degree in social work.
