IGNOU extends admission deadline

NEW DELHI: Indira Gandhi National Open University has extended to July 15 the last date for submission of filled-in applications for admission to academic programmes under the common prospectus for the academic year beginning July.

IGNOU Officer on Special Duty for Students’ Registration Division K. Laxman said the common prospectus contains details about admission to 129 programmes. The prospectuses for all the other programmes are issued by the respective schools of studies. IGNOU has 21 such schools.

There are 40 programmes for Ph.D. and M.Phil. The extension of date for admission is for the 129 programmes only, and not others. For all other programmes, except these 129 mentioned in the common prospectus, the date will remain June 30 as announced and advertised earlier, Mr. Laxman added.

The prospectuses for all programmes will be available from counters at the IGNOU headquarters in New Delhi, regional centres and study centres spread across the country and abroad.

IGNOU at present is running 312 programmes for academic and professional capacity-building of the disadvantaged and willing learners. Many of these programmes are run in collaboration with various industrial organisations under the private-public project schemes and educational institutions, both domestic and international. These programmes have been developed on the principles of need-based education and empowerment of the disadvantaged.
