ACADEMIC PROGRAMMES
The University offers programmes leading to Certificate, Diploma or Degree, covering conventional as well as
innovative programmes. Most of these programmes have been developed after an initial survey of the demand
for such studies. They are launched with a view to fulfil the student’s needs for:
● Certification
● Improvement of skills
● Self-enrichment
● Diversification of knowledge, etc.
COURSE MATERIALS
Learning materials are prepared for the courses by teams of experts drawn from conventional universities;
management institutions and professionals from all over the country and in-house faculty. These materials are
edited by the content experts and language experts at IGNOU before they are finally sent to the press. Similarly
audio and video programmes are produced in consultation with the course writers, in-house faculty and producers.
These materials are previewed and reviewed by the faculty as well as outside experts and edited or modified
wherever necessary before they are despatched to the Study Centres and Doordarshan.
CREDIT SYSTEM
The University follows the ‘Credit System’ for most of its programmes. Each credit amounts to 30 hours of
study comprising of all learning activities. Thus, a six credit course involves 180 hours of study. All management
courses are six credit courses except the project course. This helps the student to understand the academic effort
one has to put in, in order to successfully complete a course. Completion of an academic programme (Degree,
Diploma or Certificate) requires successful clearing of both, the assignments and the term-end examination of
each course in a programme.
DELIVERY SYSTEMS
The methodology of instruction in this University is different from that of the conventional Universities. The
Open University System is more learner-oriented and the student is an active participant in the teaching-learning
process. Most of the instructions are imparted through distance rather than face-to-face communication. The
University follows a multimedia approach for instruction. It comprises :
a) Print Material : The printed material of the programme is supplied to the students in batches of blocks for
every course (on an average of 5 blocks per course). A block which comes in the form of a booklet generally
comprises 3 to 5 units.
b) Audio-Visual Material Aids : The learning package contains audio and video cassettes which have been
produced by the University for better clarification and enhancement of understanding of the course material
given to the student. A video programme is normally of 25-30 minutes duration. The audio tapes are run and
video cassettes are screened at the study centres during the hours of the counselling session. The video
programmes in Management Studies are telecast on DD (National) every Friday at 6.30 a.m. Some of the
selected stations of All India Radio also broadcast the audio programmes. Students can confirm the broadcast
schedule for the programmes from their study centres. The information is also provided on the University
website.
c) Counselling Sessions : Normally, counselling sessions are held as per a schedule drawn before hand by the
Study Centre Coordinator. These are held on weekends, that is, Saturday and Sunday. There will be 6
counselling sessions of 21/2 hours duration for each course in face-to-face mode. Additionally, the University
conducts live phone-in-programmes through various stations of All India Radio. Schedule of these phone-in-
programmes would be available at study centres. Live teleconferencing sessions are also conducted via
satelite through interactive TV channel.

MODALITIES OF SUBMISSION OF ASSIGNMENTS
AND APPEARING IN TERM-END EXAMINATIONS
ASSIGNMENTS
Assignments constitute the continuous evaluation. The submission of assignments is compulsory. The grade
that you get in your assignments will be counted in your final result. Assignments of a course carry 30% weightage
while 70% weightage is given to the term-end examinations. Therefore, you are advised to take your assignments
seriously. You will not be allowed to appear for the term-end examination for any course if you do not submit the
specified number of assignments in time for that course.
The main purpose of assignment is to test your comprehension of the learning materials you receive from us and
also to help you get through the courses. The information given in the printed course materials should be
sufficient for answering the assignments. Please do not worry about the non-availability of extra reading materials
for working on the assignments. However, if you have easy access to other books, you may make use of them.
But the assignments are designed in such a way as to help you concentrate mainly on the printed course materials
and exploit your personal experience.
Whenever you receive a set of material and assignment, check them immediately and ask for missing material,
if any, from Material Production & Distribution Division, IGNOU, Maidan Garhi, New Delhi-110 068.
The assignment responses should be complete in all respects. For the tutor marked assignments, you have to
submit your response sheets to the Coordinator of the Study Centre assigned to you. After evaluation these tutor
marked assignments will be sent back to you with comments and grade.
The University/Co-ordinator of the Study Centre has the right not to entertain or even reject the assignments
submitted after the due date. You are, therefore, advised to submit the assignments before the due date.
Do not forget to get back from your Study Centre your duly evaluated assignments alongwith a copy of the
assessment sheet containing comments of the evaluator on your performance. This may help you to improve
future assignments and in preparing for term-end examination.
For your own record retain a copy of all assignment responses which you submit. If you do not get back
your duly evaluated tutor marked assignments alongwith copy of assessment sheet containing comments of
evaluator on your assignment within a month after submission, please try to get it personally from your Study
Centre. This may help you to improve upon future assignments. Also maintain an account of all these corrected
assignment responses received by you after evaluation. This will help you to represent your case to the University
in case any problem arises.
If you do not get pass grade in any assignment, you have to submit it again. For this, you have to ask for/obtain
a fresh set of assignments for that course, applicable to that particular semester. However, once you get the pass
grade in an assignment, you cannot re-submit it for improvement of grade. Assignments are not subject to re-
evaluation except for factual errors, if any, committed by the evaluator. The discrepancy noticed by you in the
evaluated assignments should be brought to the notice of the coordinator of the Study Centre, so that the correct
score is forwarded by him to the Student Registration & Evaluation Division at Headquarters.
In case you find that the score indicated in the assessment sheet of your assignments has not been correctly
reflected or is not entered in your grade cards; you are advised to contact the coordinator of your Study Centre
with a request to forward correct award list to the SR & E Division at the Headquarters.
Do not enclose or express doubt for clarification, if any, alongwith the assignment. Send your doubts in a
separate cover. Give your complete enrolment number, name, address, title of the course and the number of the
unit or the assignment, etc. on top of your letter. If you want to draw our attention to something of an urgent/
important nature, write to us separately.

your response to the question. Make sure that the answer is logical and coherent, and has clear connections
between sentences and paragraphs. The answer should be relevant to the question given in the assignment.

answer, write down the final version neatly and underline the points you wish to emphasise. While solving
numericals, use proper format and give working notes wherever necessary.
5. Use only fool scap size paper for your response and tie all the pages carefully. Avoid using very thin paper.

blocks sent to you by the University. If you copy, you will get zero marks for the respective question.

The Registrar
Indira Gandhi National Open University

Sir/Madam
There are a number of Open University in the country offering various degrees/diploma through the mode of
non-formal education. The Open Universities have been established in the country by an Act of Parliament
or State Legislature in accordance with the provisions contained in Section 2(f) of University Grants
Commission Act, 1956. These universities are, therefore, empowered to award degrees in terms of section
22(I) of the UGC Act, 1956.
A circular was earlier issued vide UGC letter N.F.1-8/92(CPP) dated February, 1992 mentioning that the
Certificate, Diplomas and Degrees awarded by Indira Gandhi National Open University are to be treated
equivalent to the corresponding awards of the Universities in the country.
Attention is further invited to UGC circular No. F.1-25/93(CPP-II) dated 28th July, 1993 (copy enclosed) for
recognition of degrees and diplomas as well as transfer of credit for courses successfully completed by
candidates between the two types of Universities so that the mobility of candidates from Open University
stream to traditional Universities is ensured without any difficulty.
The UGC has specified the nomenclature of degrees under section 22(3) of the UGC Act, 1956 to ensure
mandatory requirements viz. minimum essential academic inputs required for awarding such degrees. A
copy of gazette Notification regarding specification of degrees issued vide No. 1-52/97(CPP-II) dated 31st
January, 2004 is enclosed. The details are also given in UGC website: www.ugc.ac.in
May, I therefore request you to treat the Degrees/diploma/Certificates awarded by the Open universities in
conformity with the UGC notification on specification of Degrees as equivalent to the corresponding awards
of the traditional University in the country.
Yours faithfully
