Launching of new courses                                  

This academic year of 2023-24 will also include the courses that were launched by IGNOU earlier this year. Thus, students can apply for these new courses in this admission cycle.

Earlier in February, IGNOU launched certificate courses in the field of food and nutrition. These courses were launched under the School of Continuing Education under IGNOU.

Unlike full undergraduate and postgraduate courses, these certificate courses can be completed in six months. Thus, students can choose these certificate courses as secondary programs while doing their graduation or post-graduation.

IGNOU launched this certificate course to increase awareness about the importance and effects of food and nutrition on our lives. Through these courses, students will gain more knowledge about how healthy food and good nutrition are important for maintaining a healthy lifestyle.

The process of application for these courses will be the same. Students who are interested in these courses can go to the official website of IGNOU and apply for these courses.

There are no educational qualifications required for these courses. The only condition is that the student must be 18 years of age or older to apply for these courses. These courses are offered with minimal fees to further encourage students to apply for these courses.
