Hello,
Yes, IGNOU (Indira Gandhi National Open University) has introduced 4-year undergraduate (UG) degree programs in line with the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 guidelines .
The NEP 2020 encourages flexibility in undergraduate programs, allowing students to opt for a 4-year UG degree with Honours or Research components. IGNOU has adapted its curriculum to provide this structure. Now, students can choose between a 3-year degree or a 4-year Honours degree. Here's how it generally works:
1. 3-Year UG Program: Students who want to complete a regular Bachelor's degree (like BA, BSc, BCom) can complete it in three years.
2. 4-Year UG Honours Program: Students opting for the 4-year program can pursue a Bachelor with Honours or Bachelor with Research if they wish to delve deeper into their field of study.
This provides flexibility for students to complete their degree at their own pace, in line with IGNOU's open and distance learning model.
Hope it helps !
Hey there I am glad to help you out i hope this helps you
According to the latest RCI guidelines, while a four-year degree is typically required for clinical psychology, a three-year BA from IGNOU can still be beneficial for advanced programs. However, due to NEP and RCI's updated standards, students with a three-year degree might need extra qualifications.
Currently, IGNOU or RCI hasn't announced a specific bridge course to address this. This uncertainty is causing concern among students, and there's a growing need for such a course. Many are advocating for it to make the transition smoother.
If you plan to pursue further studies or RCI licensing, consider additional certifications or directly pursuing an M.Phil or Ph.D. from an RCI-recognized institution. Stay updated through IGNOU or RCI announcements for any future bridge course developments.

hello
There are no classes in IGNOU, we have to start teaching ourselves, so once your admission is confirmed then you should start your studies. I am telling you this from my three years of experience. Apart from this, if you need any help related to IGNOU, you can ask.
Hello,
At IGNOU, you need to pass all 8 subjects to successfully complete the course. Each subject typically requires a minimum passing mark of 40% or 50% depending on the course and program guidelines. Make sure to check the specific requirements for your program.
Hope it helps !
