1.5 Academic Programmes

The University offers a wide range of programmes both short-term and long-term leading
to Certificates, Diplomas, Undergraduate Degrees, Postgraduate Degrees 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:

 Certification,
 Improvement of skills,
 Acquisition of professional qualifications,
 Continuing education and professional development at work place,
 Self-enrichment,
 Diversification and updation of knowledge.

1.6 Course Preparation

Learning material is specially prepared by teams of experts drawn from different

Universities, specialized Institutions in the area from all over 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/CDs 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 media experts and
edited/modified, wherever necessary, before they are finally dispatched to the Study
Centres and Telecast on Doordarshan/Gyan Darshan/Gyan Vani.

6
1.7 Support Services

In order to provide individualized support to its learners, the University has a large number
of Study Centres, Special Study Centres, Programme Study Centres and Work Centres
throughout the country. These are co-ordinated by 34 Regional Centres, 5 Sub-Regional
Centres, and 25 Recognized Regional Centres as on date. The list of Regional Centres is
given in this handbook. 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 on administrative and academic matters.
Support services are also provided through Work Centres, Programme Specific Centres,
Skill Development Centres and Special Study Centres.

1.8 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
instructions are imparted through distance education methodology rather than face-to-face
communication.

The University follows a multimedia approach for instruction. It comprises:

Self Instructional Written Material: The printed study material (written in self-
instructional style) for both theory and practical components of the programmes is supplied
to the learners in the form of blocks for every course (on an average 1 block per credit). A
block which comes in the form of a booklet usually comprises 3 to 5 units.

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 learner. 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 specific sessions which are duly notified for the benefit of the learners.

The video programmes are telecast on National Network of Doordarshan and Gyan
Darshan. Selected stations of All India Radio and Gyan Vani FM Radio Channels are also
broadcasting the audio programmes. Learners can confirm the dates for the programme
from their study centres. The information is also provided through the National
Newspapers and IGNOU Newsletters sent to the learners periodically.

Counselling Sessions: Normally counseling sessions are held as per schedule drawn by the
Study Centres. These are mostly held during the non-working hours of the host institutions
where the study centres are located.

Practical/Project Work: Some Programmes have practical/project components also.

Practical are held at designated institutions for which schedule is provided by the Study
Centres. Attendance at practical is compulsory. Keeping in tune with the flexibility as
regards choice of time for study one way is to skip practical during a year but for doing it in
a subsequent year or in order to have a repeat exercise, additional fee determined by the
University has to be paid. For project work, study centres will provide the necessary
guidance but the learner will have to manage his/her own resources.

7
Teleconferencing: Live sessions are conducted via satellite through interactive Gyan
Darshan Channel from the University studios at EMPC, the schedule of which is made
available at the study centres. The learner has to go to the nearest centre at the scheduled
time for taking benefit of this facility.

Edusat: Edusat is the first Indian satellite designed and developed exclusively for serving
the educational sector. It is mainly intended to meet the demand for an interactive satellite
based distance education system for the country. The satellite has six ku Band
transponders and six Ext. C-Band transponders. One beam on Ext. C-Band covers the
entire country including Andaman and Nocobar Islands. EMPC-IGNOU has already
established 134 interactive terminals across the country with two-way interactive facility.
The teleconferencing sessions on GD-2 are simulcasted on the EDUSAT network. The
facility is expected to enhance the capacity of the learners to access the resources as per the
schedule. 12 teaching ends at major Regional Centres are being established.

Gyan Darshan Educational Channel: A collaboration between MHRD, ISRO, Prasar

Bharti, IGNOU and other organizations has resulted in launching DD Gyan Darshan, the
Educational Channel of India. In a significant gesture, EMPC has been identified as the
coordinating and transmitting agency. Regular transmission of educational programmes
from the EMPC studios started on January 10, 2000. The channel is providing educational
programmes on a variety of subjects for 24 hours a day to enhance the learning process.
Steps are being taken to relay the Gyan Darshan Channels through different cable operators
in the Country for wider outreach. GD signals can be conveniently received without any
special equipment anywhere. Gyan Darshan has now gone completely digital and expanded
into a bouquet of channels namely GD-1, GD-2 and GD-3 ‘Eklavya’. Educational
programmes are contributed by major educational institutions such as IGNOU, UGC/CEC,
NCERT/CIET, Directorates of Adult Education, IITs and other educational/development
organizations in the country. Gyan Darshan transmissions uplinked from the earth station
of EMPC-IGNOU, New Delhi can be accessed all over the country throughout the year and
round the clock without any break.

Gyan Vani: IGNOU has been offered FM radios channels in 40 cities and towns for
education and development. EMPC is the nodal agency for implementing the project.
EMPC is also studying an experimental proposal for global Gyan Vani. As many as 26 FM
Radio Stations at Ahmedabad, Allahabad, Aurangabad, Bangalore, Bhopal, Chennai,
Coimbatore, Delhi, Guwahati, Hyderabad, Indore, Jabalpur, Jaipur, Kanpur, Kolkata,
Lucknow, Mumbai, Mysore, Nagpur, Panaji, Patna, Raipur, Rajkot, Shillong,
Vishakhapatnam, and Varanasi are already on air. The broadcasts in English, Hindi and the
regional languages/dialects are conducted by local resource persons. The detailed schedule
can be accessed at IGNOU EMPC-Gyandarshan website
http://www.ignou.ac.in/gyandarshan%scindex.html.

Interactive Radio-Counselling: Interactive Radio-Counselling is a recent concept in

distance learning in India. Live counselling is provided on radio by invited experts.
Students can ask questions right from their homes on telephone. These sessions are
conducted for an hour from 4 p.m. on Sundays from 189 radio stations in the country. A
toll free telephone number 1800 112345 has been provided for this purpose from selected
cities.

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(1) 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.F1-25/93(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 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 .

Yours faithfully,

Subject: Recognition of Degrees/Diplomas of Open Universities

Dear Sir,
The Standing Committee at its 237th meeting held at Utkal University and the 68th 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 recognised in terms of the following
resolutions:
“Resolved that the examinations of one university should be recognised 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 recognised 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 recognised 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(1) 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,
