QnA related to IGNOU

Ask your question related to IGNOU

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.


Hi there!

As you had completed 10th, then BPP from IGNOU, and then B.Com, but don’t have a 12th certificate, many employers may reject you because BPP is not recognized as equivalent to 12th by all sectors. Instead of a diploma, it’s better to do NIOS 12th, which is fully valid across jobs and education. It’s flexible and can be completed in 1–1.5 years. Once done, you’ll be eligible for:Government jobs,Banking/SSC, or PG courses.

Alternatively, you may look into Skill India programs or NSDC-certified vocational diplomas. Some options:

  • Diploma in Computer Applications
  • Retail Management
  • Electrician or  Technician courses
  • Medical Lab Technology

Thank you and best wishes for your career restart!



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.

Hello Aspirant,

No, there won’t be any problem during SSC CGL document verification if you have:

Consolidated Marksheet (showing all semester-wise subjects and marks)

Provisional Degree Certificate

These are accepted for verification, especially if your final degree certificate is yet to be issued by IGNOU. Many universities, including IGNOU, issue provisional certificates until the original degree is awarded at convocation.

All the best for your SSC CGL journey.

Yes, you can get solved IGNOU question papers for your course. These are available in various places:

You can download previous-year papers directly from IGNOU’s official student support site,these include papers up to December 2024 and June 2025.

Hello there,

Since you enrolled in IGNOU M.Com in July 2023 and have not appeared for any exams yet:

  • You can appear for the exams of both the first year and second year together in the December 2025 exam cycle, provided you have completed the required assignments for those courses.

  • Assignments are generally based on the session you are enrolled in. Since your admission is from July 2023, you should complete and submit the assignments for the July 2023 session.

  • Make sure you submit all pending assignments before the exam, as they are mandatory to be eligible to appear.

  • Check the IGNOU official assignment schedule and exam notification for the exact last date to submit assignments related to your session.

  • You may also contact your study center for detailed guidance on the exam and assignment submission for your enrollment period.


I hope this answer helps you. If you have more queries, feel free to share your questions with us, and we will be happy to assist you.

Thank you, and I wish you all the best in your bright future.
