What is the credit system of IGNOU? How do I select a subject?

If you apply for a BSc (Maths), for example, it means you want to study math.

• You must choose two elective subjects from the four available ( Maths, Physics, Chemistry, and Life Science).

• To major in math, you must complete at least 40 credits in math.

• If you want to major in math, you must take MTE 1, 2, and 4-9. These subjects will earn you 28 points. MTE 10 to 14 can be used to obtain the remaining 12 credits (for a minimum of 40 credits) to 20 credits (for a maximum of 48 credits in a subject).

• The three-year course requires 96 credits, with 32 credits required each year.

• Your foundation courses will total 16 credits in your first year. And you'll need 32 credits in a year. To meet that requirement, you can take MTE 1,2,4,5,6, or you can drop one paper and replace it with a second elective subject of your choice.

• You have 8 credits for foundation courses in the second year. The remaining 32 credits must be satisfied by Math papers and the second elective.

Electives and application-oriented courses are available in the third year (AOC). AOC requires 16 or 8 credits in this case. This is because elective courses can take either 56 or 64 credits over the course of the semester. As previously stated, if you aim for a minimum of 40 credits, you only need 56 credits from electives and can have 16 credits from AOC. Alternatively, a maximum of 48 elective credits will leave you with 8 credits for AOC.

There are some subjects that must be taken together, such as MTE 4 and MTE 5. Subjects from the first year can be taken in the second or third year, but not in the first year. There are courses that have prerequisites and corequisites. Please make sure you take those so that you can study easily.

Applying online eliminates the possibility of accidentally taking the same subject twice. You also don't have to be concerned about credit fulfillment or subjects that must be taken concurrently.
