Top 4 Reasons: Why students switch to IGNOU?

Most of the Universities in India have distance education facility in various disciplines in addition to regular courses. However, Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU) is the premier institution solely established for the same. It caters the educational need of different categories of students in a broader network and with vast courses. The courses of IGNOU are aimed at self-enrichment besides professional up gradation.

Often it has been observed that a student had to take a decision whether to pursue the course further from the same University or should opt for other mode of learning like distance education. For students, IGNOU seems to be the best option for distance education to continue their studies. There are many other reasons also behind the migration of students to the open university IGNOU:

Change of University

Unavailability of Courses: One of the foremost reasons that a student switches University goes with the availability of the course. IGNOU offers a wide gamut of courses which are generally not available in other universities. For the reason, getting admission to IGNOU becomes the natural answer.

Place Adaptability: Yes, it is another important parameter for any student to choose a course from a University. Most of the Universities that provide distance learning don’t have a wide network of regional centers and study centers. Due to this, a student who has completed regular studies in Assam or in other parts of India, can’t pursue the same course in any other part of India. For examination and for any other course-related purpose the student has to revisit the University. IGNOU has a strong network of study centers and regional centers across the country.

Course material: Numerous Universities run the old distance learning courses for decades. The course materials are not updated and they are not tuned to the latest requirements in the market or to the latest trend. To this fact, the IGNOU course materials are up-to-date and are of high quality.

Student Counseling Student: One would not like to pursue a course where he or she is a lone soul. They would prefer rather to go with the University that has a sizable population doing the same course. And IGNOU has got this advantage. The distance learning University has a big student population from all over the world pursuing courses it offers. One will find student counseling not only offline but in online as well. The vibrant IGNOU community in the social networking sites like Orkut is an evident example on how students assist other students.
