THE UNIVERSITY
1.1 Introduction
The Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU), established by an Act of Parliament in 1985,
with the following mandate:

• to provide access to higher education to all segments of the society;

• to offer high quality, innovative and need-based programmes at different levels, to all those
who require them;

• to reach out to the disadvantaged by offering programmes in all parts of the country at
affordable costs; and

• to promote, coordinate and regulate the standards of education offered through open and
distance learning in the country.

The University began by offering two academic programmes in 1987, i.e., Diploma in Management and
Diploma in Distance Education with a strength of 4528 students. Today, it serves the educational
aspirations of more than 2.0 million students in India and abroad through the twenty-one Schools of
Study/Institutes/Centres and with a network of 62 Regional Centres, more than 2300 Study Centres
within India and around 53 Partner Institutions in 33 countries outside India. The University offers a
wide variety of courses programmes in various fields/disciplines in the form of Certificate, Diploma,
Degree and Doctoral programmes comprising more than 1300 courses with the support of the faculty
members and academic staff at the Headquarters and Regional Centres. The University utilizes services
of a large number of Academic Counsellors (Faculty) from conventional institutions of higher learning
and professionals from various organizations. Today, the University has emerged as the largest Mega
University in the World.

To achieve the objectives of widening access to all sections of society and to provide continual
professional development and training in all sectors of the economy, the University, uses multiple
media and latest technology in imparting education. IGNOU has reformulated its vision keeping its
objectives in focus. Today, the Vision reads. “Indira Gandhi National Open University, the National
Resource Centre for Open and Distance Learning with international recognition and presence, shall
provide seamless access to sustainable and learner-centric quality education, skill upgradation and
training to all by using innovative technologies and methodologies and ensuring convergence of
existing systems for massive human resource required for promoting integrated national development
and global understanding”.
The University has, in a relatively short time, contributed significantly to higher education, community
education and continual professional development. As a world leader in distance education, it was
conferred the Centre of Excellence Award in Distance Education in 1993 and the Award of Excellence
for Distance Education Materials in 1999 by the Commonwealth of Learning (COL), Canada. The
University is committed to quality in teaching, research, training and extension activities, and acts as a
national resource centre for expertise and infrastructure in the ODL system. The University has also
established a Staff Training and Research Institute in Distance Education (STRIDE), Centre for
Extension Education, National Centre for Differently Abled and National Centre for Innovation in
Distance Education, to focus on specific learner groups and enrich the distance learning system. The
Distance Education Council of the University which is also an Apex Body for Open and Distance
Learning System helps in regulating and maintaining the ODL system in the country. With the launch
of Edusat (a satellite dedicated only to education) on 20th September, 2004, and the establishment of the
Inter-University Consortium, the University has ushered in a new era of technology-enabled education
in the country. Besides print and face to face contact, it also uses electronic media for imparting

1
education in a big way. Today, it has large number of Teleconferencing Centres at all Regional Centres,
and a few quite Study Centres across all Regional Centres enabling the University to transact
interactive digital content. Emphasis is now being laid on developing interactive multimedia and online
learning, and adding value to the traditional distance education delivery mode with modern technology-
enabled education within the framework of blended learning.

1.2 Objectives

courses and academic programmes. They are:

• Staff Training and Research in Distance Education (STRIDE).

• Centre for Extension Education (CEE)

• National Centre for Innovation in Distance Education (NCIDE).

• Other Units/Centres of the University.

The University offers a wide range of academic programmes both short-term and long-term, credit and
non-credit programmes leading to Certificate, Diploma, Undergraduate Degree, Postgraduate Degree
and Doctoral Degrees which are conventional as well as innovative. Most of these programmes have
been developed after an initial survey of the demand for such programmes. They are launched with a
view to fulfill the learner’s needs for:

• verification,

• improvement of skills,

• acquisition of professional qualifications,

• continuing education and professional development at work place,

3
• self-enrichment,

• diversification and updation of knowledge, and

• empowerment.

The focus of the programmes are to meet various academic and employment needs of the people,
especially those of the disadvantaged sections of society. A number of programmes have been designed
to meet the requirements of continuing education and training of employed people for professional
growth. The University has introduced a number of modular programmes in order to provide a greater
and more flexible learning environment.

1.5 Course Development


Learning material is specially prepared by teams of experts drawn from different Universities and
specialized institutions in the area spread through out the country as well as in-house faculty. This
material is scrutinized by the content experts, supervised by the instruction/unit designers and edited by
the language experts at IGNOU before they are finally sent for printing. Similarly, audio and video
cassettes are produced in consultation with the course writers, in-house faculty and producers. The
material is previewed and reviewed by the faculty as well as outside experts and edited/modified,
wherever necessary, before they are finally dispatched to the Study Centres and telecast through Gyan
Darshan.

The University follows the ‘Credit System’ for most of its programmes. Each credit is equivalent to 30
hours of student study comprising all learning activities (i.e., reading and comprehending the print
material, listening to audio, watching video, attending counselling sessions, teleconference and writing
assignment responses). Thus, a 4 credit course involves 120 hours of study and an 8 credit course
involves 240 study hours. This helps the learner to know the academic effort he/she has to put in, to
successfully complete a course. Completion of an academic programme (Degree or Diploma) requires
successful completion of the assignments, workshops, seminars, practical, projects and the termed
examination of each course in a programme.

1.6 Instructional System and Programme Delivery
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 learner is an active participant in the
pedagogical (teaching and learning) process. Most of the instruction are imparted through distance
education methodology rather than face-to-face communication using multiple media for instruction
viz; self instructional print material, audio-visual material aids, counseling sessions, practicals,
seminars, workshops, field work, project work, etc. Further, the university utilizes electronic media in a
big way for imparting education and training through its Electronic Media and Production Centre which
is established specially for this purpose. Teleconferencing with its vast network of downlink facilities
(one-way video and two-way audio), interactive satellite based education (Edusat), (two-way audio and
video), Gyan Darshan (Television) Educational Channels with DTH facility; Gyan Vani FM Radio
Channels and Interactive Radio-Counseling through FM channels.

In order to provide individualized support to its learners, the University has established large number of
Study Centres throughout the country. These Study Centres are co-ordinated by the Regional Centres
and Recognized Regional Centres (in case of Defence Personnel). The list of Regional Centres is given
in the prospectus for information. At the Study Centres, the learners interact with the Academic
Counselors and other learners, refer to books in the library, watch/listen to video/audio programmes and
interact with the Coordinator and Academic Counselors on administrative and academic matters.
Support services are also provided through the Work Centres, Programme study Centres, Skill
Development Centres and Special Study Centres established in the educational institutions, professional
organizations and other places of relevance depending upon the nature and requirement of the
programme. Wherever training is required, special centers for specific purposes have also been
established (depending upon the nature and requirement of the programme) in collaboration with the
industry and or with specialized training professional organizations/centres.

Sub: RECOGNITION OF DEGREES AWARDED BY OPEN UNIVERSITIES

Sir/Madam

There are a number of Open Universities 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 28 th July, 1993 (copy
enclosed) for recognition of degrees and diplomas as well as transfer of credit for courses successfully
completed by students between the two types of Universities so that the mobility of students 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 Universities in the country.

Subject: Recognition of Degrees/Diplomas of Open Universities

Dear Sir,

The Standing Committee at its 237th meeting held at Utkal University and the 68 th Annual Session of
the AIU and in December, 1993 at the University of Delhi have decided in principle that the Degrees of
the Open Universities be recognized in terms of the following resolutions:

“Resolved that the examinations of one university should be recognized by another on a reciprocal
basis, provided that the entrance qualification, duration of course and the general standard of attainment
are similar to those prescribed by the recognized university”.

“Further resolved that in case of Degrees awarded by Open Universities, the conditions regarding
entrance qualifications and duration of the course be relaxed provided that the general standard of
attainment are similar to those prescribed by the recognized university”.

The decision is brought to the notice of the Universities for favour of appropriate action in the matter.
The additional information, if required in this behalf, may kindly be obtained from the Registrars of the
Universities directly.

Thanking you,

Yours faithfully,

D.O. No. F.1-25/03(CPP-II) 28 July, 1993

Dear Vice Chancellor,

As you are aware, 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.

It has been brought to the notice of the Commission that the students who have done their M.A. from
open universities are debarred by universities from registration for Ph.D. studies. This is most unfair in
view of the importance attached to the Open University and distance learning in National Policy on
Education, 1986. The Programme of Action-02 also aims at promoting the mobility of students among
open universities and among traditional universities. This can be made possible only when there is a
workable understanding between open universities and traditional universities for recognition of each
other’s degrees on reciprocal basis. A Memorandum of Understanding has already been signed
between University of Pondicherry and Indira Gandhi National Open University which provides for
recognition of each other’s degrees and diplomas as well as transfer of credits for courses successfully
completed by students between the two universities. The other universities may also make similar
arrangements so that the mobility of students from Open University stream to traditional universities is
ensured without any difficulty.

I hope that your university will make necessary efforts in this direction and let the Commission know
the progress.

With regards,

Yours sincerely,

facilities to the research scholars, academicians and international law experts, but also to a very large
number of Civil Services Officers and aspirants through establishing a library and reading room. The
library has a rich collection of more than 200 thousand books on international relations, political
science, economics and international law for the benefit of those scholars, students and intellectuals
who are working in the field on political, economic, disarmament and development related subjects
including globalization, world peace, human rights and international terrorism. A very large number of
latest books-Indian and foreign-have added to its existing rich collection this year.
