The Indira Gandhi National Open University cut off is the minimum mark that has to be met by all the applicants to secure admission to the university. For most of the programmes merit based admission is done, while for some such as B.Ed, Post Basic B.Sc Nursing, MBA, M.Ed, M.Phil and PhD, entrance exam scores are considered. The entrance exam is conducted by IGNOU itself for these above mentioned programmes. For management courses, IGNOU OPENMAT is conducted, however, candidates who have aced management tests like the CAT, MAT, and state-level exams, are not required to take the OPENMAT. This exam percentile will be then translated into percentages based on the highest possible score and the actual score obtained. The IGNOU cut off set for the CAT/ MAT/ State-level Entrance Exams is 40%.
Candidates must receive the minimum number of points specified in the IGNOU cutoff in order to move on to the next step. Along with the exam result, the cut-off is made available online. After one week of the exam's conclusion, the IGNOU result is made public. On the website of the conducting body, candidates can access their results. Candidates are deemed qualified if their scores are equal to or higher than the IGNOU cut off. Only qualified applicants are secure admission.
Based on a number of variables, the Indira Gandhi National Open University prepares the merit list or cut off list, which ultimately shortlists applicants for admission. For all the programmes except B.Ed, Post Basic B.Sc Nursing, MBA, M.Ed, M.Phil and PhD, the IGNOU merit list is created on the basis of the marks obtained from the last qualifying exam. For the rest of the courses, entrance exam marks are considered to create the IGNOU cut off list. Here are some of the variable that determine the changes in the cut off released by the university every year.
The IGNOU entrance exam, which is administered throughout India, is used to determine admission. The applicants have to submit an entrance-cum-admission form. On the day specified on the official website, the entrance exam takes place. To appear in the Entrance Test, hall tickets are uploaded to the official website (ignou.ac.in). Candidates' eligibility for admission to the B.Ed programme is not accepted by just taking the entrance exam.
