What is IGNOU 34th convocation 2021?

IGNOU convocation held around Graduation is a cultural celebration of your success as a student.

The university organizes a convocation ceremony every year, where many students attend the ceremony.

The convocation day in IGNOU is a paradise for a learner, and the convocation is where all original degree certificates are provided to the learner. I am getting many messages from the students about the original certificate, mark sheet, and IGNOU provisional certificate.

Students learning in distance education are not taking part in university functions or any other feedback/survey conducted by the university.

College life is a beautiful term in our life. Apart from getting the certificate, the students learn many things from the university during the course duration.

Indira Gandhi National Open University is an unforgettable chapter of our life.

So we need to follow all the university activities, i.e., seminars or live webcast programs. Nobody knows where we will be after ten years, but we will remember our college life whenever we hear the name of IGNOU.

My recent experience with IGNOU convocation 2021

Last year, one of my friends called me for the IGNOU degree certificate. He completed his Graduation in July 2016 session and missed the IGNOU convocation online. So he did not receive a degree certificate.

I advised him to visit the regional office with a demand draft of Rs.600 along with the IGNOU identity card, and he did so. 

After visiting the regional office, he got the application form for the original convocation certificate. An official of the regional centre told him to submit the form.

Within15 days, he got the IGNOU original graduation certificate.

I know you have a question: why does the university not provide the degree certificate and the mark sheet.?

This system is not only in IGNOU, but most of the university is following the same rule. The University of Calcutta is also following the same pattern.

IGNOU gold medalist students list

When I was in my first year, I heard about the IGNOU gold medalist students.

Do you know who the previous gold medalist students are? And want to know gold medal eligibility.

As a bachelor’s or master’s student, score higher in all assignments, practicals, and term-end exams all over India. Complete the course within the duration to qualify for IGNOU gold medalist students.

I have researched bachelor gold medalist students. If assignment marks are scoring greater than 90 and term-end theory above 70 in each paper, you may qualify in the IGNOU convocation for the gold medal category.
