FAQ - IGNOU-Indira Gandhi National Open University, New Delhi

Ans. If you have already enrolled in a program of 1 year duration or longer, then you can also register for a 6 month certificate or diploma course. However, you need to check whether there is any clash of examination date or not. IGNOU will not make any adjustments in case of any clash of dates.

Moreover, you cannot pursue two full time programs of more than a year duration simultaneously from the same University. However, you also cannot pursue one full time program in a Distance mode and another in the Regular mode, except add-on courses can be accepted. 

Ans. Online submission of IGNOU application forms is more convenient for the following reasons: 

  • You can submit the admission form instantly. 
  • You will get the confirmation within 2 months via email and SMS. 
  • You can also upload all the documents online and sending a hard copy is not needed to the Regional Centre. 
  • You can also have hassle free online payment rather than sending Demand Draft. 
  • If your application gets rejected due to ineligibility or any other reason, your fee will get refunded to your bank account within few business days. 

Ans. The system of evaluation in IGNOU is different from that of conventional universities. IGNOU has a multi-tier system of evaluation – you need to do self–assessment exercises popularly known as assignments which carry 30% of the weightage. The submission of the assignment is followed by Term End Examination (TEE) taken by IGNOU. 

Ans. One of the important features of IGNOU is its flexibility in pace of learning. Therefore, IGNOU has set a prescribed ‘minimum’ and ‘maximum’ duration for successful completing each program. Thus, your registration will remain valid if you complete your program in that prescribed period of time. However, if you are aiming at the University Gold Medal, you must complete within the minimum prescribed period. 

Ans. IGNOU offers various UG and PG programs like BA, BBA, BEd, BCom, BSc, MSc, MA, MBA, MCom, MCA, PhD. Apart from these, you can also apply for 2 months to 1 year duration diploma and certificate courses.
