Why is my IGNOU admission status ‘not confirmed’?

IGNOU officials verify all the documents and application forms of the candidates who apply for IGNOU admission every year. If a student fails to see the admission status, it could be due to one of the following reasons:

  • The process could be taking some time: In this case, the student should keep rechecking their IGNOU admission status every few days.
  • Non-recognised academic certificates: In a lot of cases, students complete their past academics from institutions that are not recognized by the board of education, and the students are provided unauthorized certificates by the schools. In such cases, IGNOU rejects such application forms.
  • Documentation Issue: At times, the size of the documents is not appropriate or the documents are not scanned properly. This becomes one of the reasons why an application is rejected.
  • Eligibility Issues: The university in its official brochure, released for each academic year, clearly states the eligibility required to pursue every course. In case the academic background of the student does not match the eligibility set by the university, the form status stands rejected.

A:
The eligibility criteria and admission policies for pursuing two different courses simultaneously may vary from one university to another. Therefore, it is advisable to check with the respective universities offering B.Ed and M.Com courses for their policy on pursuing multiple courses at the same time. In general, some universities may allow students to pursue two courses simultaneously, while others may not. However, even if both universities permit the simultaneous pursuit of two courses, it may still be a challenging task to balance the coursework, assignments, and examinations of both courses. Therefore, it is important to consider the workload and time commitment required for each course before making a decision. In the case of IGNOU, the university allows students to pursue multiple courses at the same time, subject to certain conditions. As per IGNOU's policy, students can pursue one regular course and one non-regular course simultaneously, or two non-regular courses simultaneously. However, it is important to note that students pursuing two courses simultaneously will have to manage their time effectively to ensure that they meet the academic requirements and deadlines of both courses. Therefore, it is recommended that you check the policies of the respective universities and assess your own capabilities and time availability before deciding to pursue B.Ed through a regular college and M.Com through IGNOU simultaneously.
