Competitive Exam Details

  • Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU) is a major open and distance learning (ODL) university in India. For 2025, IGNOU has issued multiple teaching / academic consultant recruitment notifications (e.g., consultants in Political Science, Visual Arts). These are often contractual consultant roles rather than permanent faculty, depending on the school / department.

  • The selection process generally involves shortlisting based on educational qualification and experience, followed by an interview or interaction, rather than a standard “competitive teaching test” for all posts. For many such posts, there is no written test; instead, merit + interview matter more.

  • These roles are often for a limited duration (6 months, extendable up to two years), and compensation is fixed honorarium / contract pay.

Q1: Who is eligible for IGNOU’s teaching / consultant recruitment?
A1: Candidates with a postgraduate (or PhD) degree in the relevant subject, and often experience in teaching or ODL, are eligible.
Q2: Is there a written exam for IGNOU teaching consultant posts?
A2: In many cases no — selection is via shortlisting and panel interview.
Q3: What is the contract duration for IGNOU consultants?
A3: Usually 6 months initially, extendable up to 2 years based on performance and need.
Q4: Is IGNOU consultant recruitment permanent?
A4: Not necessarily — many consultant positions are contractual, not permanent faculty roles.
Q5: What is the pay / honorarium for IGNOU consultant roles?
A5: Reported for some roles in 2025: roughly ₹ 40,000–60,000 per month (consolidated), depending on discipline and experience.

There is no standard exam (i.e., a written, proctored test) for many of these roles; selection is based on application screening and interview.

Because these are consultant / academic posts, the recruitment is more like hiring than a competitive “teacher exam.”

Syllabus / Selection Criteria

Since there is no fixed “exam syllabus,” the selection criteria (for consultant / teaching roles) usually include:

Educational Qualification: Master’s (or PhD) in the relevant subject / discipline.

Teaching or Relevant Experience: Experience in ODL / open university teaching is often preferred.

Communication Skills: Strong written and verbal communication.

Understanding of ODL Pedagogy: Familiarity with distance education is a plus.

Interview / Interaction: A panel assesses candidate’s domain knowledge, teaching philosophy, and fit.
