QnA related to IGNOU

Ask your question related to IGNOU

Yes, a B.Com degree is eligible for the IGNOU B.Ed entrance test, but with conditions. You must have a bachelor's or master's degree in Commerce, Science, Social Science, or Humanities with at least 50% marks (or 45% for reserved categories). You also need to be a trained in-service teacher in elementary education or have completed an NCTE-recognized teacher education program through face-to-face mode.

Hello,

Thank you for your question!

IGNOU does not offer MSc Zoology as a regular program.

IGNOU mainly provides MSc in Life Science, Environmental Science, and other distance learning programs, but Zoology (regular specialization) is not available. If you want to pursue MSc Zoology, you’ll have to look at state universities like MDU Rohtak, Kurukshetra University, DU, BHU, AMU, etc.

All the best!

Hello Niharika,

Not qualifying for Delhi’s D.El.Ed. isn’t the end of your teaching career plans. Haryana’s D.El.Ed. is recognized by NCTE and is a valid route to becoming a primary school teacher. Many students from outside Haryana apply and get admission, though you should note that some seats are reserved for Haryana domicile candidates. Your plan to do B.A. from IGNOU alongside D.El.Ed. is very smart—it keeps you academically progressing and later makes you eligible for B.Ed., which will open doors for teaching in higher classes as well. Make sure you check the Haryana Board’s eligibility criteria before applying and confirm if your preferred institute offers quality teaching practice and internships. Good faculty and practical exposure during D.El.Ed. matter a lot for skill development. Overall, this is a good alternative and keeps you on track toward your long-term goal.

Thank you, and I hope this clears your doubt.


Your 10th and 12th certificates have Shaikh at the beginning, but your Aadhaar and bank have it at the end. IGNOU used the Aadhaar name, so your graduation name doesn’t match school records, and even ABC ID isn’t linking.

It's better to match your graduation name with your 10th and 12th, since those are used for most verifications. You can update your Aadhaar later using an affidavit and supporting documents. This will avoid issues in jobs and higher studies.


Hello,

If you cancel your seat through TS EAPCET , the allotted college usually takes about 7 to 15 days to return your original certificates.

However, the exact time may vary depending on the college. It's a good idea to contact the college directly for a clear update.

Hope it helps !

Hello Aspirant,

Yes, you can register for the Company Secretary (CS) Executive Program. As you have done BPP (Bachelor's Preparatory Program) and B. com from IGNOU (a recognized and established University), you are eligible to register for the CS Executive course legitimately. Please ensure that you have your graduation marksheet and all relevant documents to hand at the time of registration.

Hello Aspirant,

Yes, you can do an MBA after the BPP B. com from IGNOU, provided that you meet the eligibility requirements of the university or college that runs the MBA program. The BPP (Bachelor's Preparatory Program) certificate from IGNOU, followed by the B. com degree is accepted as credentialed by most institutions, especially open universities and distance learning institutions. Programs of study that are full-time or ranked highly - generally MBA programs from reputed institutions such as IIMs or other rank recognized private B-schools - will typically require:

  • Credentialed Bachelor's degree (the B. com degree from IGNOU)
  • Entrance exam scores (examinations include, but are not limited to, CAT, MAT, XAT, and university specific tests)
  • Although not very common, some programs do ask for 10+2 qualification, so each university will have its own eligibility criteria requirements.

If you are looking for flexible or distance MBA programs, both IGNOU and some open universities like Symbiosis (SCDL), NMIMS Global, or Annamalai University, should also accept you as a student.

Hello Aspirant,

If you indicated the wrong course code by mistake on your IGNOU exam (with the correct program name and course name), do not panic. There is a solution to address this situation.

  1. Please write to your Regional Centre and Exam Division by email, clearly explaining the issue at hand and attaching your hall ticket and a scanned copy of the answer sheet front page (if you have one).
  2. Please indicate your correct course name, program Kangaroo program code and hours, and enrol SonderCreation number.
  3. You can also raise a question through the IGNOU IGRAM portal (http://igram.ignou.ac.in)

Hello Aspirant,

Considering all your options, yes, you can take an accounting course from any private institution after B. Com from IGNOU. IGNOU is a UGC recognized university, so your degree is valid and accepted by most private institutions. I've narrowed down a few good, popular short-term accounting courses such as Tally, GST, Income Tax, SAP FICO or an even deeper professional course level course such as CMA, or CA, if you're looking for a career in accounting!

You are doing BA Psychology Honours from IGNOU. As per the new RCI (Rehabilitation Council of India) rules, to become a licensed clinical psychologist, you must complete either a 4-year UG degree in psychology or a 3-year UG plus 1-year bridge course. IGNOU does not offer a 4th year or any bridge course right now.

If you are in your first or second year, you can think about taking admission in a 4-year UG course in psychology from any regular or online university that follows NEP 2020. This will make you eligible for clinical psychology later.

If you are in the final year or already finished your degree from IGNOU, then you have to wait and see if any RCI-approved universities start offering a 1-year bridge course. Some colleges may start this soon as per new rules.

You can also finish your BA from IGNOU and then do a normal M.A. in Psychology. After that, you can work in psychology fields that do not require RCI license like counselling, teaching, or industrial psychology. But to become a clinical psychologist with an RCI license, your degree must follow the new 4-year rule or have a bridge year.

It is a good idea to contact RCI directly or call universities like NIMHANS, CIP Ranchi or others that offer M.Phil Clinical Psychology, and ask if they will accept your current degree or not.
