IGNOU Scheme of Community College

Hello sir here I am looking for Guidelines for IGNOU Community Colleges so provide me where I can get it?

[Shaleen]

Institutions apply to IGNOU for registration as a Community College,
Should be run by an educational agency/registered society/Trust or corporate body rooted in community-based activities.

Community Colleges are an alternative system of education, which aims to empower individuals through appropriate skill development leading to gainful employment in collaboration with the local industry and the community.
It helps to develop skills for employment and self-employability particularly to the marginalized and under-privileged sections of society.
Community colleges offer the advantage of tailoring programs to local needs and state-based requirements by using approaches that will be most acceptable to workers in the given community.


While submitting the “expression of interest”, the applicant (educational agency/registered society/Trust or corporate body) will specify the Programme Sectors and levels (Certificate/Diploma/Associate Degree), it wishes to offer through the Community College. The detailed programme content and Certificate/Diploma Programmes of IGNOU, which the institution wishes to use, should be clearly mentioned.
