Dear student, 

IGNOU stands for the Indira Gandhi National Open University. It was set up in 1985 and is one of the largest central distance-learning universities in India. The university offers distance education and works on the Online Distance Learning (ODL) model in a variety of streams like arts, commerce, education, computers, etc. The IGNOU admission process is based on merit for most of the courses. However, for some courses like B.Ed and MBA, the university conducts its own entrance test. The teaching-learning process at IGNOU is flexible and students can cover the syllabus on their own suitable time slots. 

The university provides study materials to the students through multiple channels. The material can be sent by post, uploaded on the E-Content App of the university, as well as through Gyan Darshan channels and radio counselling through Gyan Vani/FM radio stations. Once students receive the material, the material is enough to prepare for exams, as per various student reviews. IGNOU also has various Academic Counsellors who resolve student queries from time to time. Moreover, the admission process is held twice a year at the university.
