Hello, Yes, IGNOU has a policy for "External Credit Transfer" (ECT), but it is extremely specific. You can transfer a maximum of 50% of the total program credits (e.g., up to 50-60 credits for a ~120 credit BCA program) from another recognized university like Andhra University, provided you have not completed the degree there.

However, this is not a simple lateral entry. The transfer is done on a course-by-course basis, not a year-by-year basis. You must first take admission as a new, 1st-year student in IGNOU's BCA program. After your admission is confirmed, you must apply for credit transfer by submitting your Andhra University marksheets, the detailed syllabus of every subject you passed, and a fee. The IGNOU faculty will then manually compare your old syllabus to their current one. They will only grant you an exemption for the specific IGNOU courses that are a very close match in content and credit weight. You will then have to study and pass all the remaining courses to get the IGNOU degree.

I hope your confusion is cleared and you found this information helpful. For any study related queries you can ask in the Careers360 app. Have a great day!

Hello,

Yes, you can transfer your BCA credits from Andhra University to IGNOU through External Credit Transfer (ECT) .

First, take fresh admission in IGNOU’s BCA course, then apply for ECT with your Andhra University marksheets, syllabus copy, and credit transfer form. IGNOU will verify and approve eligible credits.

You’ll need to complete only the remaining subjects in IGNOU.

Hope it helps !

Hello,

Yes, you can transfer your credits to IGNOU, but eligibility depends on matching your completed courses with IGNOU's BCA program requirements, and a maximum of 50% of your credits may be transferred. To start the process, you must first enroll in the IGNOU BCA program and then download and complete the "External Credit Scheme" from the "Student Support" section on the official IGNOU website. You will need to submit this form with a payment receipt or demand draft, a copy of your grade card from Andhra University, and a Migration/Transfer Certificate.

I hope it will clear your query!!
