Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU) has launched an Alumni Portal (https://ignoualumni.samarth.edu.in) and a Facebook page for alumni (https://facebook.com/ignou.alumni).

The alumni portal and the social media page were launched during a meeting chaired by Professor Nageshwar Rao, Vice-Chancellor, which was attended by the Pro Vice-Chancellors, Directors of School and Divisions and Regional Directors of all the Regional Centres, the university said.

“Prof. Rao said that these two initiatives will go a long way in integrating the Alumni with the institutional mechanism. He said that every year more than 1.75 lakh students complete their degree, diploma and certificate from IGNOU. Thus, IGNOU has one of the largest alumni networks in the world,” the press release said.

“Dr V P Rupam, Director, Campus Placement Cell informed that while the Facebook page will help in bringing the Alumni on a common platform and facilitate the exchange of ideas and experiences, the Alumni Portal shall provide an updated database of registered alumni, which would be useful in enhancing their engagement with the University,” it added.

Meanwhile, IGNOU has released revised guidelines for students including corrections in the name of students and other information in the statement of marks, grade cards and provisional certificates. As per the notification released by IGNOU, “The request of students for correction in the names, spelling, father’s name, guardian’s name, address printed in the statement of marks and certificates after competition of programme will also be entertained even though the degree certificate has already been issued.”
