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.

How tough is MA in economics IGNOU?

JG
Jyothsna Grover Posted On : October 20th, 2022
M.A. in Economics, Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU)

It is advised to look for a regular university for a Master in Economics, such as DSE or JNU.

If you don't have any other options, take admission here. There is nothing difficult for economics students to achieve good grades in MA Economics.

The exams are mostly graduation-based, but you must be certain that you understand everything you were taught during your graduation. You must not overlook any important terms, theories, concepts, or anything else.

If you are taking the MA economics exam for the first time at IGNOU, read everything you learned in graduation as well as the materials provided by IGNOU.

IGNOU: Has anyone over here done a MAPC master's in psychology or a Ph.D. in psychology via distance learning?

RY
Raj Yadav Posted On : October 18th, 2022
Studied Psychology at IGNOU

It is a well-planned course that includes a required internship, research project, and term-end examinations (TEE). According to some practicing psychologists, the study material appears to be on par with regular university courses.

The main difference is that you can complete the course over a 5-year period, with exams held twice a year. As a result, you can write exams for 2-3 subjects each term and finish the course while working full-time.

IGNOU has two points of contact for you:

  • SC Study Centre: This is where lectures and practicals will be held, assignments must be submitted, and course-related questions will be answered. There are two in Mumbai: Hansraj College in Khar and Seva Sadan in Ulhasnagar.

  • Regional Centre RC: This is your administrative point for receiving books, issuing ID cards, making changes to exam centers, and so on. This is the IGNOU's general office in Mulund West, Mumbai, for all courses.

IGNOU PROBLEMS

The RC is sometimes unresponsive, and with a low student-to-administrative representative ratio (IGNOU has no upper limit on the number of students it can admit), it is difficult to get questions answered. To receive a response, students must send emails in bulk.

IGNOU (or RC) appoints teachers to give IGNOU lectures in addition to their regular teaching duties.

IGNOU urgently needs to address these concerns in order to maintain and improve students' trust in the system.

What is the scope of doing an MBA from IGNOU? Is it acceptable by MNCs?

AA
Aman Arora Posted On : October 21st, 2022
MS from Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU) (Graduated-2016)

IGNOU is recognised by AICTE and is run by the central government. So if you are looking for a government job then it’s not an issue. Also, IGNOU is better than many small universities like SMU (Sikkim Manipal University).

IGNOU is the best option if you are tight on budget or you prefer learning while earning. 

MNCs prefer a formal education of 15 years. For additional education, you can go for IGNOU. But if your Bachelor's Degree is also from IGNOU then this might be a problem at the time of employment.

It’s important to note that at the time of employment regular colleges are always given more preference than distance education. So it’s recommended you pursue MBA from a regular college. Let IGNOU be the last choice under special circumstances such as a tight budget or preferring distance learning due to personal reasons.

How can I get my original certificate of BA from IGNOU?

RS
Rishi Singh Shekhawat Posted On : October 18th, 2022
B.A Pol Sci & pub ad from Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU)

You should check with your local post office if they sent you the original certificate via Indian post. The original mark sheets/certificates are sent to the candidate at their registered address, but they may or may not reach the student. You have the following options available to you.

1. Visit a regional study center and inquire if they have your original certificate.

If they have it, they will issue you a certificate after the necessary formalities.

2. If not, go to IGNOU headquarters in Delhi (allow a couple of days before going, but staff members at Delhi HO are very helpful) and they will provide you with a duplicate copy of your mark sheet/certificate. 

3. When you visit the IGNOU headquarters in Delhi, try to obtain the dispatch number as well as other pertinent information and establish contact with the postal department.

Otherwise, with the above information, file an RTI regarding the status of delivery of your consignment as per the information received from IGNOU. Because you will face difficulties if you do not present original certificates at the time of admission/interview, make every effort to obtain the originals.
