I did my graduation with 43% in 2004. What is the procedure to apply for MA or B.Ed in IGNOU?

Answered 7 years ago

Hi Nishi, If you want to take admission in IGNOU for B.Ed, this percentage is not sufficient, because minimum percentage required for B.Ed is 50% for general and SC/ST 45% but you can apply for MA. For that, percentage doesn't matter. Thank you.
