Yes, both your Diploma in Engineering (regular) and IGNOU graduation (distance) will likely be valid. Here's why:

  • Distance Education Regulations: The UGC permits pursuing a graduation program through distance education (like IGNOU) while enrolled in a regular diploma program.

  • No Time Overlap: Since your diploma is regular mode and IGNOU is distance mode, there's no clash in attending classes, making it manageable.

However, a couple of points to consider:

  • University/Institute Rules: Double-check if your diploma program's university or institute has any specific regulations regarding pursuing another program simultaneously.

  • Time Management: Balancing a regular diploma and a distance graduation program requires good time management skills.

If you're unsure about your diploma program's rules, it's best to contact their administration for clarification.  Overall, both degrees should be valid as long as they are from recognized institutions.

hope this helps you!!

Hello Aspirant

Yes, both of your degrees are valid as long as you are doing your Diploma in Engineering from a UGC-recognized college. The New Education Policy has enabled students to pursue two different degrees from two different institutions at the same time but one has to be regular and one has to be from Distance Education. If you are doing the same degree twice, it's called Dual Bachelor's or Dual Master's. So, in conclusion, yes both your degree will be valid as long as you pass both the courses.

Hope this helps

Hello Aspirant

The eligibility criteria for UGC NET is that you need to be in a Master's program from a UGC-recognized College/University, be it 1st semester or last semester, there's no restriction on it. You need to check if the subject that you're doing your master's in, is actually a paper in the UGC NET exam. IGNOU is a well-recognised university and you are eligible to apply for UGC NET

Hope this helps

Hello Aspirant

Doing 2 courses at the same time is not unheard of and is actually a good option, rather than doing another degree later. It saves time and looks good on your resume. But, keep in mind your future goals because that plays a big role in deciding which course you'll be doing via distance education. If you wish to become a teacher, I would suggest do your BEd from regular college, and not distant because schools prefer teachers who have in hand experience in  BEd course.

If you are planning to do both courses from distance education, please don't. It serves you no good and is a waste of money and time. I'll suggest you to do at least one of the degrees from a regular college.

  • Problem-solving

Yes, Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU) does offer a Ph.D. program in Political Science that can be pursued through Hindi medium. One of IGNOU's objectives is to make education accessible through Hindi and other Indian languages.

Since IGNOU offers Hindi as a medium for various programs, it's safe to assume the Ph.D. in Political Science is also available in Hindi.
