JAMMU, Jan 3: Regional Centre Jammu of Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU) since its inception in the year 1998 has set several benchmarks over the years in terms of sustainable growth of enrolment and providing quality support services to the learners across the region.
Setting yet another benchmark, around 77 per cent learners from the rural and tribal areas have enrolled themselves under IGNOU Regional Centre Jammu for various programmes in the recently concluded July 2023 admission cycle.
In a handout Dr. Jai PrakashVerma, Regional Director IGNOU stated that over the years IGNOU has lived up to the country’s expectations of providing quality education to the marginalized sections of society which include free of cost education to jail inmates across the country and enrolling a large number of SC/ST learners for a number of programmes of the University for which the programme fee is exempted.
He also said that IGNOU has digitized the study material for different programmes and also provides a discount of 15 per cent on programme fee to the students who opt for digital material rather than the hard copy. The digitized material is available at eGyankosh, the digital repository of the University.
Dr. Verma also informed about the launch of certain new utilitarian programmes by the University from the ongoing January 2024 admission cycle which include Master of Arts in Spanish and Master of Arts in Population and Family Health Studies.
He called upon those aspiring learners who wish to take admission in any of the IGNOU programmes online for the ongoing January 2024 admission cycle to enrol themselves before the last date which is January 31, 2024.
