IGNOU to extend full-time courses at regional centres

Staff Reporter

NEW DELHI: The Indira Gandhi National Open University will soon extend the facility of full-time on campus programmes in its Regional Centres, Vice-Chancellor Professor Rajasekharan Pillai said here on Saturday.

He was speaking at “Aagmann”, a party organised by the IGNOU on-campus Students' Society to welcome new students. The function saw performances by hearing-impaired students and other full-time students.

University officials at the event said that the immediate goal of IGNOU is to facilitate good placements for its graduating students. They further stated that IGNOU currently has 22 full-time academic programmes with over 500 students. These full-time programmes were launched for the first time last year at the IGNOU's Delhi campus.

The USP of the university is that it is one of the few universities in which a student can pursue two academic programmes simultaneously.

Freshers’ party at IGNOU
‘Aagmann’, the Freshers’ party in IGNOU was recently organised by the  On-campus Students’ Society. The festival had performances by hearing impaired students and other full-time students. The function, which was attended by academics, staff and students of IGNOU was an astounding success.

On this occasion, IGNOU VC, Professor VN Rajasekharan Pillai said, “IGNOU is the only University in India in which a student can pursue two academic programmes at the same time. Like a student can pursue a Post Graduate programme and take admission in a certificate or diploma programme in the ODL mode simultaneously from the University. We are also extending the facility of full-time on-campus programmes in our Regional centres. Many Regional Centres will start full time programmes soon.”
