To get your IGNOU ID card you need to visit your IGNOU regional centre. You can collect it from there. The ID card should have a stamp of IGNOU on it which makes it valid. If you will download your IGNOU ID card online, it does not have the stamp making it invalid. This will be a major problem in your exams.

It is highly possible that IGNOU does not mail your card. Most of the time you will have to visit the regional centre personally to get your IGNOU ID card.

The word average student is vague. The examiner checking your answer sheets has no idea whether you are an average student or a topper. So it all depends on your preparation for the exam. You can get above-average marks if you study well and attempt the exam well. Similarly, not studying well might result in below-average marks.

The rough estimate of average IGNOU marks is around 55-60 marks (out of 100).

So it can be said that an average student can score first division easily. It mostly depends on how you write your answers.

Every coin has two sides and so does this. There are both pros and cons to joining the IGNOU M.A. course for the UPSC optional subject during preparation.

Pros:

  • Less time required to earn the degree

  • The study material provided by IGNOU is of good quality. This will help you prepare for your optional on your own.

  • Preparing for IGNOU exams requires very less time. This will give you enough time to prepare for your option alongside.

Cons:

  • The value of the degree is relatively less.

  • Exam dates may clash with UPSC. So it’s recommended you take the December exams.

  • Fees: INR 14000 for two years

  • You will have to submit yearly assignments. And one assignment will take at least 4 days to complete

Weighing the pros and cons you can make the decision based on your calibre and situation.

No, it’s not valuable for someone to go for an MA after graduating from science. Unless you have a specific target or reason behind pursuing PG in arts it’s not recommended at all.

The course you are opting for should have a direct connection with the industry you are planning to enter. Focus on your goal and pursue the program related to that specific field.

People with no specific goals regarding the industry or profession are much more likely to come across such questions. Redefine and recognise your goals and then if it still suits you best, go for PG in arts.
