1.5 International Division

The International Division looks after the International operations of the University. Its mandate is to promote bilateral

and multilateral collaborations, network with International educational institutions/inter-governmental agencies, to serve as a single window system for the University’s overseas operations; to provide capacity building through training, and to coordinate the international delegations and visits to the University.

To meet its objectives, this Division has adopted fourfold approach in expanding the International operations of IGNOU: collaboration; coordination; cooperation; and competition. IGNOU offers its academic programmes through its recognised Overseas Study Centres in various countries (Appendix-D).

1.6 The Schools of Studies With a view to develop interdisciplinary programmes, the University operates through its Schools of Studies. Each School is headed by a Director who arranges to organise its academic programmes and courses in coordination with the School faculty and staff, and different academic, administrative and service divisions of the University. The emphasis is on providing a wide choice of courses at different levels.

The following Schools of Studies are in operation currently: ⚫ School of Humanities (SOH) ⚫ School of Social Science (SOSS) ⚫ School of Science (SOS)

15

⚫ School of Education (SOE) ⚫ School of Continuing Education (SOCE) ⚫ School of Engineering and Technology (SOET) ⚫ School of Management Studies (SOMS) ⚫ School of Health Sciences (SOHS) ⚫ School of Computer and Information Sciences (SOCIS) ⚫ School of Agriculture (SOA) ⚫ School of Law (SOL) ⚫ School of Journalism and New Media Studies (SOJNMS) ⚫ School of Gender and Development Studies (SOGDS) ⚫ School of Tourism and Hospitality Service Management (SOTHSM) ⚫ School of Interdisciplinary and Transdisciplinary Studies (SOITS) ⚫ School of Social Work (SOSW) ⚫ School of Vocational Education and Training (SOVET) ⚫ School of Extension and Development Studies (SOEDS) ⚫ School of Foreign Languages (SOFL) ⚫ School of Translation Studies and Training (SOTST)

⚫ School of Performing and Visual Arts (SOPVA)

1.7 Academic Programmes The University offers Certificates, Diplomas, Post Graduate Diplomas and Degrees, which are conventional as well as innovative. Most of these programmes have been developed after an initial survey of the need for such programmes. They are launched with a view to fulfilling the learners’ needs for: ⚫ certification, ⚫ improvement of skills, ⚫ acquisition of professional qualifications, ⚫ continuing education and professional development at workplace, ⚫ self-enrichment, ⚫ diversification and updating of knowledge, and

⚫ empowerment.

1.8 Course Preparation Learning material is prepared by teams of experts drawn from different universities and specialised institutions in the area spread throughout the country as well as in-house faculty. The material is scrutinized by the content experts, in-house faculty and edited by the language experts at IGNOU before these are finally sent for printing. Similarly, audio and video materials 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 experts and edited/modified, wherever necessary, before they are finally dispatched to the students and Overseas Study Centres.

1.9 Credit System a) Defining Credit in ODL

The University follows the ‘Credit System’ for most of its programmes. Each credit in our system is equivalent to

30 hours of learner 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 and a 6-credit course involves 180 hours of study.

16

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, projects and the Term-End Examination as per requirement of each course in a programme. b) Choice Based Credit System (CBCS)

The Bachelor’s Degree Programmes offered through this prospectus follow the Choice Based Credit System (CBCS) introduced by UGC. The CBCS provides the learner with flexibility to study the subjects/courses at their own pace; greater choice of inter-disciplinary, intra-disciplinary and skill-based courses; and mobility to different institutions for studies. The system has the following advantages:

⚫ Allows learners to choose a combination of inter-disciplinary, intra-disciplinary courses, skill oriented

courses (even from other disciplines according to their learning needs, interests and aptitude).

⚫ Makes education broad-based and at par with global standards.

⚫ Offers flexibility for learners to study at different times and at different institutions to complete the

programme. Credits earned at one institution can be transferred to another institution.

The following are the salient point of CBCS System as decided by the University.

The University has implemented CBCS pattern for its BA, B.Sc and B.Com programme with effect from July 2019 Session. Consequently, the study load for these programmes will be 132 credits as against 96 credits with effect from July 2019 session onward. In View of this, all concerned may take note of the following information:-

a) The registration of the students will be done year-wise through the courses of the programmes will be offered semester-wise. The students will pay the fee for the first and second semesters at the time of admission itself. No fees will be refunded if a student decided to withdraw mid-session.

b) The students will be allowed to appear for the Term End Examinations for all the courses of first and second semesters together in June 2020 TEE only. Subsequently, as per the existing practices, they will be allowed to appear in both December and June Term End Examination to complete their courses.

c) A 10 point Grading System will be followed for evaluation in case of CBCS based programme.

d) The Change of programme and change of Electives in case of CBCS programmes will NOT be allowed till the first cycle of the programmes is complete.

e) The change of Medium will be allowed as per current practices on payment of applicable fee.

f) There will be NO credit transfer available for the CBCS based programmes w.e.f. July 2019 session.

1.10 Support Services In order to provide individualized support to its learners, the University has a large number of Study Centres, spread across the country and Overseas Study Centres in other countries. These Study Centres and Overseas Study Centres are coordinated by 67 Regional Centres and International Division. At the Study Centres/OSCs, the learners interact with the Academic Counsellors 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 & Overseas study Centres is given in this Prospectus. (Appendix-C & D)

In case the number of students enrolled in a program is small, the University shall provide Technology Enbabled Learner Support (TELS) through Gyan Darshan / Gyan Vani / Swayam Prabha /Web Based support.

1.11 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 as per the requirement. The University follows a multimedia approach for instruction, which comprises:

17

a) Self Instructional Printed Material: The printed study material (written in self-instructional style) for both

theory and practical components of the programmes is provided to the learners in the form of a single print book and/or e-book, comprising blocks and units or in the form of separate printed 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 programmes which have been

produced by the University for better clarification and enhancement of understanding of the course material given to the learners. A video programme is normally of 25-30 minutes duration.

b) eGyankosh: The Video content is available on eGyankosh (www.egyankosh.ac.in) – the digital learning

repository of the University.

The video programmes are also telecast on National Network of Gyan Darshan and Swayamprabha channels. 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.

c) Counselling Sessions: Normally counselling sessions are held as per schedule drawn by the Study Centres/OSCs. These are mostly held outside the regular working hours of the host institutions where the study centres are located. However, In case the number of students in a programme is small, face-to-face counseling shall not be organized. In such cases the university shall provide Web Enabled Academic Support to the learners.

d) Teleconferences: Live teleconferencing sessions are conducted via satellite through interactive Gyan Darshan

Channel as well as simultaneously webcast at ( https://ignouonline.ac.in/) and via Facebook Live sessions.

e) Practicals/Project Work: Some Programmes have practical/project component also depending upon the learning requirements. 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 study material.

1.12 Evaluation System

The system of evaluation followed by the University also is different from that of conventional universities. IGNOU has

a multi tier system of evaluation. 1. Self-assessment exercises within each unit of study material. 2. Continuous evaluation mainly through assignments which are tutor-marked, practical assignments and seminar/

workshops/extended contact programmes, etc. 3. Term End Examinations (TEE).

4. Project / Term-end Practical examination.

The evaluation of learners depends upon various instructional activities undertaken by them. A learner has to write assignment responses compulsorily before taking Term-End Examinations from time to time to complete an academic programme. A learner has to submit Tutor Marked Assignments (TMA) responses to the Coordinator of the Study Centre/OSC to which s/he is attached. Term-end examination is conducted at various examination centres spread all over the country and abroad in June and December every year.

IGNOU uses the following system of “Grading” for evaluating learners' achievement

Letter Grade Qualitative Level Point Grade

A Excellent 5

B Very Good 4

C Good 3

D Average 2

E Unsatisfactory 1

18

http://www.egyankosh.ac.in/https://ignouonline.ac.in/

For Bachelors’ and Masters’ degree programmes, normally the system of numerical marking is followed, and the marks secured in assignments, TE Exams, etc. are later converted into grades as per the five-point grading scale given above. However, if required by the learner, the university provides numerical marks and division (I, II or Pass).

IGNOU uses 10-Point Grading System for evaluating learners’ achievement for Bachelor Degree Programmes under CBCS, as under:

10-Point Grading System of IGNOU as per UGC-CBCS Guidelines

Letter Grade Numerical Grade Percentage

O (Outstanding) 10 ≥ 85

A+ (Excellent) 9 ≥ 75 to < 85

A (Very Good) 8 ≥ 65 to < 75

B+ (Good) 7 ≥ 55 to < 65

B (Above Average) 6 ≥ 50 to < 55

C (Average) 5 ≥ 40 to < 50

D (Pass) 4 ≥ 35 to < 40

F (Fail) 0 < 35

Ab (Absent) 0 Absent
