Ignou ugc net

I have completed the MCA course from the IGNOU with the 55% marks. Am I eligible to apply for the UGC NET Exam? If yes then please share the syllabus of the UGC NET Exam for the computer science students? I am interested to become a lecturer.

Can you tell me if Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU) is recognised by University Grants Commission of India (UGC)?

The Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU), established by an Act of Parliament in 1985, has always strived to build an inclusive knowledge society through inclusive education. It has tried to increase the Gross Enrolment Ratio (GER) by offering high-quality teaching through the Open and Distance Learning (ODL) mode.


Its vision is to provide seamless access to sustainable and learner-centric quality education, skill up-gradation and training to all by using innovative technologies and methodologies and ensure union of existing systems for massive human resource required for promoting integrated national development and global understanding.

IGNOU has been granted the authority to confer degrees by Clause 5(1) (iii) of the IGNOU Act 1985. IGNOU is also recognised as a Central University by the University Grants Commission of India (UGC).
