Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU) has entered into an agreement with the Indian Army, Indian Navy, and Indian Air Force to offer skill-based bachelor's degree programs to the Agniveers.



These programs are a unique blend of discipline-based courses and skill-based education. They consist of 120 credits, with IGNOU providing 60 credits and the Armed Forces offering the remaining 60 credits through in-service skill education.



The programs available under this scheme include:



- BAAS: Bachelor of Arts (Applied Skills)



- BAASTM: Bachelor of Arts (Applied Skills) Tourism Management



- BAASMSME: Bachelor of Arts (Applied Skills) MSME



- BCOMAS: Bachelor of Commerce (Applied Skills)



- BSCAS: Bachelor of Science (Applied Skills)



The skill courses provided by the armed forces are approved by the National Council for Vocational Education and Training (NCVET), ensuring the quality of skill education. This initiative aligns with the recommendations of the NEP 2020, aiming to integrate higher education with skill education.



The program will enable Agniveers to pursue a bachelor's degree while in service, enhancing their employability after their service period.



Recently, the programs were opened for admission to the Agniveers of the Indian Air Force. The inauguration ceremony took place at the IGNOU Campus on August 1, 2023, with Vice-Chancellor Nageshwar Rao and Air Marshal S K Jha, PVSM AVSM from the Indian Air Force, launching an exclusive Admission Portal tailored for the Agniveers.
