IGNOU to witness more admissions in TN: Reg Director
The study centres of Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU) in Tamil Nadu are expected to get more enrolments this academic year as the number of distance education courses offered by the universities have come down in recent past, claimed S Mohanan, Regional Director of IGNOU, Madurai and added that the number of prison inmates have also increased after the study centre was established.

Speaking to the media, Mohanan said that usually there used to be over 60,000 enrolment for IGNOU programmes each year but the strength has declined and only around 6,000 students are going for IGNOU offered programmes in the state. “However, the numbers would increase in the upcoming days as there are more courses offered by IGNOU when compared to distant education centres of state universities,” he said.
While the Tiruchy students are keen on joining in the management related programmes, there are demands for commerce and psychology in the other districts, he said and added that for the past 25 years, since the inception of IGNOU, the organisation has been fuctioning with zero malpractices during examinations.
