IGNOU

Start with the correct route

Exact programme code and current prospectus determine eligibility.

Do not assume that an open-distance or online route uses a competitive closing score. Read its actual eligibility and admission procedure. The online BCOMFOL page specifies 10+2 in any discipline; other programmes have different conditions.

Eligibility before score comparisons

Read the current programme bulletin for qualifying subjects, minimum marks, accepted qualifications and any test requirements. A score or previous allocation rank cannot override an eligibility condition. Keep the intended admission session in your enquiry.

Keep each application stage separate

Identify who handles the examination, university application and seat allocation or offer. Where these are separate stages, completing one does not automatically complete another. Use official current notices for dates and keep application and payment acknowledgements.

How to use historical data

Match year, programme, category and round before comparing a score or rank. A historical number is evidence of that allocation, not a forecast. Blank entries should not be interpreted as zero or guaranteed admission. Read the original table’s notes.
