IGNOU asked to declare results of community college students

NEW DELHI: Keeping in mind the interest of students enrolled in community colleges, the HRD Ministry has directed IGNOU to declare results and notify the examination schedule for students who have completed their courses.

The Human Resource Development Ministry has given a 15-day deadline to the university to complete the process, a resolution of which has already been approved by IGNOU's board of management, said a Ministry statement.

The move stands to benefit 1.5 lakh students who had registered for IGNOU's community college development scheme.

IGNOU had launched the scheme in 2009 with tie-ups with colleges and institutes across the country.

But, three years after, it was kept in abeyance pending a review of the functioning of various colleges under the scheme.
