Now, Students can Choose to Study Combination of Courses Offered Across Programmes at IGNOU

 

Now students studying at the Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU) can choose to study subjects out of the boundaries of their programmes. IGNOU has introduced course-wise registration and certification scheme which allows students to register for specific courses without having to register for an entire programme. Under this scheme, students can register for a single course or a number of courses which might not be part of one single programme. Students can opt for interdisciplinary courses to a maximum of 16 credits.

Candidates successfully completing the course opted will be provided with a certificate of completion of the course indicating the score obtained in continuous or term-end assessment and credits earned. Candidates will be allowed to seek transfer of credits earned under the scheme by taking admission in a programme of IGNOU.

The eligibility for registering for a course under the scheme will be the same as the eligibility for admission to the programme from where the course(s) are drawn. Registration for all courses of all the academic programmes will be open for registration under the scheme except the courses offered under research degree programmes and awareness and appreciation level programmes.

Students will have to take courses offered in combination together. Courses once opted can not be changed or withdrawn by the student. The minimum and maximum period allowed for completion of the courses registered would be six months and two years, respectively

Meanwhile, IGNOU has also started offering courses to foreign students. In the first phase, IGNOU has planned to offer 16 online programmes to overseas students from SAARC, Non-SAARC, and FSRI, and NRI students. Courses offered to international students include MA in Hindi, MA in Gandhi and Peace Studies, a certificate in tribal studies, PG diploma in Gandhi and Peace Studies, a certificate programme in Arabic language, MA of translation studies among others.

International Women Day - 8th March 2021 (Gender Equality) Fact's and Figures

Did You Know ?

Nearly 60 per cent of women around the world work in the informal economy, earning less, saving less, and at greater risk of falling into poverty

Women earn 23% less than men globally.

Women occupy only 24% of parliamentary seats worldwide.

1 in 3 have experiences physical or sexual        violence and 200 M of girls-women have suffered genital mutilation

International Women's Day - 8th March 2021

 

International Women’s Day is a time to reflect on progress made, to call for change and to celebrate acts of courage and determination by ordinary women, who have played an extraordinary role in the history of their countries and communities.

The world has made unprecedented advances, but no country has achieved gender equality.

Fifty years ago, we landed on the moon; in the last decade, we discovered new human ancestors and photographed a black hole for the first time.

In the meantime, legal restrictions have kept 2.7 billion women from accessing the same choice of jobs as men. Less than 25 per cent of parliamentarians were women, as of 2019. One in three women experience gender-based violence, still.

Let’s make 2021 count for women and girls everywhere.
