There are two types of exams – Theory and Practical. Theory exams called Term-End Exam and conducted for all the units of that semester after each semester in June and December. Practical exams are called as Term-End Practical Exam and are conducted for specified units only once a year in the month of January.

Yes you can get yourself transferred to your convenient city/state.

Detailed in your Programme Guide. 

IGNOU has no plan as of date to provide employment assistance.

The student will NOT be allowed to appear in Term-End Practical Exam. 

Student has to complete the attendance in the coming semester after taking permission for the same and can appear in the exam by submitting an application to Regional Centre. Along with specific amount per course MCA Rs.750/-, BCA Rs.425/-, CIC Rs.1100/-. 

Contact timings are 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. from Monday to Saturday only.

Correspondence course – has not face-to-face interaction and is completely self-study with student receiving the course material and appearing in exam. 

Distance Education – is also self study but students are attached to a local/nearest study centre which provides facility for face-to-face problem solving sessions with approved counsellors and other administrative help. Students get to know each other and can solve problems in a group. More help is given in the form of assignment evaluation etc. which indicates a students progress. 

Very important role as Distance Education is Learner centered and involves self study (varies from course to course as some involve compulsory attendance at Study Centre). But you can get your doubts cleared during Theory counselling sessions/ Practical counselling sessions by IGNOU approved counsellors.

IGNOU Academic Counsellors are there to conduct Theory counselling and Practical sessions. They are your tutors but will only give answers to students questions and clarify their doubts on a subject. In Practicals they will help sort out the problems which you might face while working on the computer. Help you plan your studies also.
