IGNOU’s Bachelor’s Degree Preparatory Programme
Bachelor’s Degree Preparatory Programme (BPP) – A Non-Formal Channel for seeking admission to BA/BCOM/BTS/BSW
IGNOU is offering a unique Bachelor’s Preparatory Programme once again starting July 2007 session to those students who aspire to do Bachelor’s Degree but are not 10+2 pass. Informing this, Shri. S.Saunand, Regional Director, IGNOU Regional Centre, Port Blair stated that in the absence of such a qualifying certificate (10+2), the students are deprived of access to higher education and to enable such students to enter higher education stream, IGNOU has designed this unique preparatory programme. Bachelor’s Preparatory Programme consists of three courses which can be completed in a minimum period of six months. A student who has been admitted to the Bachelors Preparatory Programme has to select any two of these courses out of the three courses viz. Preparatory Course in General Mathematics (OMT-01), Preparatory Course in Social Sciences (PSS-01) and Preparatory Course in Commerce (PCO-01)
The minimum duration prescribed for completion of Bachelor’s Preparatory Programme is six months and the maximum duration is for two years. Therefore, a student can clear BPP within a minimum period of six months and a maximum period of two years in order to become eligible for admission to Bachelor’s Degree Programme (BDP). Students who will be admitted for July 2007 session can appear in Term End Examination, December-2007. In Bachelor’s Preparatory Programme, multiple-choice questions are asked in the term end examination and the maximum marks in each course shall be 50 and for each course the pass percentage is 35%, which means 18 out of 50 in each course is required to successfully complete the course. If a student clears only one course and fails to complete the other in any Term- end Examination, he/she is required to appear the next Term End Examination for only that course, which has not been cleared. Only after clearing both the opted courses, the student is eligible for seeking admission to BA/BCOM/BTS/BSW other programmes of IGNOU.
