Important points to know about while pursuing two-degree courses at the same time.
Yes, it is true that now students can pursue two degrees at the same time, but make sure you know everything about that beforehand. Here are a few things that should be considered before applying for the same.
- It doesn’t matter students are pursuing two degrees from the same institutions or different but make sure the degrees are different that means one should be regular and another one distance course
- If any of the students are found to be completing two degrees in the same academic year then one degree will be marked as invalid.
- Therefore, it is always advised to all the students who want to pursue two degrees that apply to another course when you have already got the result of the previous ones.
- Also, these rules don’t apply to the registration of the certificate courses.
Students who have already registered and enrolled in a one year program or more can simultaneously opt for the 6-month short program at any university of their choice. This will be the student’s responsibility if clashes of dates, timetables, and examinations are there. IGNOU will not hold responsible for the same. Therefore, pursuing two academic courses either from IGNOU or any other regular university except the 6-month certification program is still not permitted.
Note: Students can’t do two same regular degree courses or distance degree courses at the same time
