Hello Aspirant

IGNOU is a fully recognized central government university that offers distance education at a very affordable fee. It is a well-reputed University for distance education with a wide range of subjects. IGNOU is very old and well-known in the realm of education. LPU on the other hand is a private university that is fairly new in contrast to IGNOU. People usually go for LPU when they wish to enjoy their college life because it is known for its vibrant campus culture.

I would suggest that you choose IGNOU for distance education, especially for humanities because you need a reputed college degree and not some private university, especially if it's new and budding. Government colleges are more reliable and will give you the weightage in an interview that will help you stand out.

Hope this helps
