| With changing trends in education,
Universities that provides distance learning are
becoming increasingly popular among students.
While real education takes its
own course, we all know that in India, the degree
rules. Now, everyone is not fortunate enough to
attend regular college in the undergraduate level
and the number is even higher when it comes to post-graduate
courses.
IGNOU imparts education and knowledge
through various flexible means suited to the open
and distance education mode, including information
and communication technologies. It offers a multi-media
learning system comprising print, audio, video,
radio, television, teleconferencing, interactive
radio counseling, Internet-based learning and face-to-face
counseling.
IGNOU provides not only higher
education to large sections of the population through
Distance Education Council (DEC), it also encourages,
coordinates and assists other Open Universities
and Distance Education Systems while determining
standards in such systems in the country.
Admission to IGNOU programmes are
carried out twice a year, in January and July, for
which advertisements are placed in newspapers at
the appropriate time. |
