Department of Personnel and Training and Indira Gandhi National Open University have come together and signed a MoU for offering Distance & E- Learning Programmes to Government employees. The Government employees can now enrol for a wide spectrum of Distance & E-Learning Programmes offered by IGNOU and get their fees reimbursed on successfully completing the programmes.

The purpose of the Programme is to increase the availability and flexibility of options open to employees for enhancing their knowledge and skills in order to improve the functioning of Government organisations and the delivery of services to the public.
 

The Programme is open to Central Employees (working in Ministries/Departments/Attached offices) and the faculty members of State Apex Training Institutions. The officers working under Public Sector Undertakings are not eligible for the Programmes covered under this Programme.

The specific conditions of eligibility of employees (including level of employee and Ministries covered) for each module/course will be decided for each course/module and notified from time to time by DoPT.

The following category of courses are open for enrolment under this programme:-

  • Short-Duration Specialised modules: The specialised Modules are basically oriented to cater to the requirement of Government employees in a specific domain.
  • Certificate Programmes.
  • Masters, PG and PG Diploma Programmes.

The employees concerned have to apply directly in response to the admission notification of IGNOU subject to availability of funds.
