I think all are category is same so if any universities take any exam they can understand that all are category same for cut-off. Application forms should be easy for students because there are many students who don't how to fill them form but if the form is easy then can fill. I think reservation is not good because there are many students who don't have money to be admitted and they are all talented students but if any universities have reservations then can't show talent and skills any improvement.

Admission:

This is one of the top Central Government Colleges that offers Hotel Management Courses, so for this it is a must to take an Entrance Exam named - NCHMCT JEE (National Council Of Hotel Management and Catering Technology) to get this college that is IHM Kolkata, if you are General you have to keep your rank within 2000, and if you are SC or ST you can get here easily as because is goes up to 20,000 and up, so as improvement I want the cutoff of SC and ST should come down as this is totally unfair to the general candidates as there is a gap of perhaps more than 20000.

Is Annamalai University's graduation degree in Distance Education not valid for admission in a PG from IGNOU? IGNOU rejected my admission due to this reason. What should I do?

Sugandhi Sood
Nandini RaichandFormer Sub Divisional Engineer Telecom,,(RTD) (1974–2009)

If a university issues a certificate to a student who passed a written examination in a state other than the university's territorial jurisdiction. For example, if a state university grants admission and conducts exams in another state, the results will be invalid under UGCC regulations.

For example, Andhra University (state university) should not conduct examinations outside of Andhra Pradesh.

If it is done in this manner, the certificate will be invalid. As a result, it is one of the reasons why IGNOU does not admit students with such certificates.

If there is a court case against the university that issued the certificate, IGNOU will not grant admission based on that certificate. As a result, IGNOU has stringent UGC admission requirements.

When my term-end examination will take place as I enrolled in MEG 1 IGNOU in the month of July?

Sapna Malik
Sourabh MohantyM.A ECO from Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU)

Every year, IGNOU holds its TEE (Term End Examinations) in June and December.

The practical and theoretical parts of the same course must be mentioned separately in the exam form, and the fees are also separate for both. The exam fee for both theory and practical courses/papers is currently 60/- rupees.

Typically, a grace period of 10-20 days is also allowed for the submission of examination forms, with a Late Fee of around 1000/- rupees as of now. The exact end date of the grace period as well as the late fee amount are communicated separately.

If the previous examination's results have not been declared, you should include those courses in the exam form. You may also be exempt from paying the exam fee for such courses. At the time of exam form submission, confirm this with the respective study center. Please keep in mind that the assignment portion of the respective courses must be completed before submitting the exam, or your hall ticket for the examination may be withheld. You are considered an Eligible Candidate once you register for a course and complete the semester/year allotted to that course. 

Once you are eligible, you can take the exam in any subsequent TEE (June or December). You can still appear in both TEEs if your course is year-based rather than semester-based. This is a major source of confusion for students enrolled in annual programs.

You may reappear for a paper as many times as necessary to pass it (mind the maximum program duration, however). If the previous examination result was not declared or if you did not receive at least 40% pass marks, you should reappear.

You cannot reappear for that course TEE once you have received the minimum required marks (typically 40%). You must complete ALL courses within the maximum time frame for the Program.

How do I get my IGNOU ID card after taking admission in the MA programme?

Gaurav Goplani
Aasif DarPost Grady from IGNOU (Graduated 2016)

To get your IGNOU ID card you need to visit your IGNOU regional centre. You can collect it from there. The ID card should have a stamp of IGNOU on it which makes it valid. If you will download your IGNOU ID card online, it does not have the stamp making it invalid. This will be a major problem in your exams.

It is highly possible that IGNOU does not mail your card. Most of the time you will have to visit the regional centre personally to get your IGNOU ID card.

What is the process to cancel a course from IGNOU?

Rohini Mishra
Mitanshi VatsMCA MAH MSW MPA MAPY MPS from Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU)

You have two options for cancelling your admission.

  • Send an email to your local centre.

  • Visit the regional centre and request that your admission be cancelled.

  • To find the email address of your regional centre, simply login to IGNOU and select the view address option in the regional centre column.

You will receive information about your regional centres, such as their email address and phone number.

You must include the following information in your email.

  • Your name 

  • Your registration number

  • Your program's title

  • Attach your IGNOU ID and Aadhar card (or any other ID for identification, such as a voter ID) and explain why you are withdrawing.

If you are a new candidate who has not yet received your study materials, you will be refunded, but I have no idea if you are an old student. After cancelling your admission, it usually takes 15 to 20 days to receive your refund.

Another thing is that you must check your admission status on your own by logging in to your account because they do not notify you via email or text message.
