Diploma and 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
fulfil the learners’ needs for:
•• certification,
•• improvement of skills,
•• acquisition of professional qualifications,
•• continuing education and professional development
•• self-enrichment
•• diversification and updating of knowledge, and empowerment.
1.6 Course Preparation
Learning material is specially prepared by teams of experts drawn from different Universities and
specialized Institutions in the area spread throughout the country as well as inhouse faculty. The materials
are scrutinized by the content experts, supervised by the instructors/unit designers, and edited by the
language experts at IGNOU before these are finally sent for printing. Similarly, audio and videocassettes are
produced in consultation with the course writers, inhouse 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 students, Study Centres and Telecast through Gyan Darshan.
1.7 Credit System
The University follows the ‘Credit System’ for most of its programmes. Each credit is equivalentto
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. 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, practical’s projects
and the term-end examination of each course in a programme.
1.8 Support Services
In order to provide individualized support to its learners, the University has a large number of Study
Centres, spread throughout the country. These Study Centres are coordinated by 67 Regional Centres and
Recognized Regional Centres. 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. The list of Regional Centres is given in the end of
this Prospectus. Support services are also provided through Work Centres, Programme StudyCentres, Skill
Development Centres and Special Study Centres.
1.9 Programme Delivery

Open University system is more learner-centred and the learner is an active participant in the pedagogical
(teaching and learning) process. Most of the instructions are imparted through distance education
methodology as per the requirement.
The University follows a multimedia approach for instruction, which comprises:
a) Self-Learning Material: The printed study material (written in self-instructional style) for both
theory and practical components of the programme is provided to the learners in the form of a single

usually comprises 3 to 5units.
Audio-Visual Materials: The learning package contains audio and video programmes whichhave
been produced by the University for better clarification and enhancement of understanding ofthe
course material given to the learners. A video programme is normally of 25-30 minutes duration.

b) The Video content is available on eGyan kosh ([Link]) – the digital learning
repository of the University.

Darshan. All Gyan Vani stations broadcast curriculum-based audio programmes as per their schedule
that is notified in advance. In addition, some selected stations of All India Radio also broadcast the audio
programmes. Learners can confirm the dates for the programmes from their study centres. The
information is also provided through the university website.

Centres. These are mostly held outside the regular working hours of the host institutions where the study
centres are located.

Darshan Channel as well as simultaneously webcast at [Link]
e) Practical’s/Project Work: Some Programmes have practical/project component also depending upon
the requirement. Practical sessions are held at designated institutions for which schedule is provided by
the Study Centres. Attendance at practical sessions is compulsory. For project work, comprehensive
project guide, in the form of a booklet, is provided to the learner along with the studymaterial.

multitier system of evaluation.

seminar/ workshops/extended contact programmes.

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 recognized in terms of the flowing resolutions:
“Resolved that the examinations of one University should be recognized by another on 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 Registrar of the
Universities direct.

Thanking You,
Your faithfully,
