Annamalai University DDE: 1 Answered Question

Is Annamalai University's graduation degree in Distance Education not valid for admission in a PG from IGNOU? IGNOU rejected my admission due to this reason. What should I do?

Nandini RaichandFormer Sub Divisional Engineer Telecom,,(RTD) (1974–2009)

If a university issues a certificate to a student who passed a written examination in a state other than the university's territorial jurisdiction. For example, if a state university grants admission and conducts exams in another state, the results will be invalid under UGCC regulations.

For example, Andhra University (state university) should not conduct examinations outside of Andhra Pradesh.

If it is done in this manner, the certificate will be invalid. As a result, it is one of the reasons why IGNOU does not admit students with such certificates.

If there is a court case against the university that issued the certificate, IGNOU will not grant admission based on that certificate. As a result, IGNOU has stringent UGC admission requirements.
