There are two aspect of this question. One is around IGNOU and another is around distance education. IGNOU is trusted and accredited government distance education university. They are approved by UGC, AICTE both. So there is no question of the validity of degree awarded by IGNOU now or in future. Second aspect is around distance education. Yes it is true that degrees from open universities not considered for all types of jobs or vacancies. 10 15 years earlier, most of government jobs demand about regular courses. Currently this trend has changed. Now a days if we look at most of government vacancies they do not talk about regular degree. They rather say something like : A degree from a University established by law in India or a degree recognised by the Government. In both cases IGNOU degree are eligible! However, today also you may find few government or private companies like TCS which does not consider candidates from distance education. There number are very less and so you will not find difficulty in finding suitable job with IGNOU degree. More or less it also depends on the degree itself. Engineering or B.Ed regular degree are still considered better then distance degree. Courses like B.Sc. B.Com BCA or B.A. Are almost equivalent in distance or regular mode. So in nutshell, degree from IGNOU is eligible for most of the government Jobs (with very few exceptions) Hope this helps you.
