If you're thinking that every employer prefers a regular degree only, it's not right. They seek your skills and expertise; they look for a strong portfolio, and prior work experience is a plus. 
If you pursue an MSW from IGNOU, you'll get so much time to work on your addition skills or maybe join an organisation to get experience. This will only benefit you.
