IGNOU Starts Registration for Skill-based Bachelor Degree Programmes for Agniveers

The Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU) has started the registration process for undergraduate courses for Agniveers. The varsity has entered into Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) with the Indian Army, the Indian Navy, and the Indian Air Force to provide skill-based bachelor’s degree programmes to the Agniveers.

Through this partnership, IGNOU is offering five skill-based bachelor’s degree programmes – BAAS – Bachelor of Arts (Applied Skills), BAASTM – Bachelor of Arts (Applied Skills) Tourism Management, BAASMSME – Bachelor of Arts (Applied Skills) MSME, BCOMAS – Bachelor of Commerce (Applied Skills) and BSCAS – Bachelor of Science (Applied Skills). Applications for these courses are now open on the official website – ignou.ac.in.

The primary objective of this partnership is to assist the Agniveers in obtaining a bachelor’s degree while serving in the Armed Forces. Moreover, the collaboration aims to enhance the post-service employability prospects for the Agniveers by equipping them with relevant skills through these skill-based programmes.
