UGC Notice

If you’re sitting on an Indira Gandhi National Open University degree and wondering “ab kya?”, here’s your cue to stop doom-scrolling job portals. IGNOU has lined up a full-blown campus placement drive on April 29, 2026, and it’s not one of those “just come and see” events. Real companies. Real roles. Real paychecks (okay, some modest, some decent, depends how picky you are). The drive will take place at the B.R. Ambedkar Convention Centre inside the Maidan Garhi campus in New Delhi, starting at 10:00 AM.

What’s actually on the table?

More than 200 vacancies. Spread across sectors that sound very LinkedIn-friendly:

  • Edtech
  • Aviation
  • Hospitality
  • Services
  • NGO roles

Event Date

Time

10:00 AM onwards

Venue

B.R. Ambedkar Convention Centre, IGNOU Campus (New Delhi)

Total Vacancies

200+

Eligible Candidates

Students, alumni, freshers, experienced

Streams Allowed

Almost all (BA, BSc, BCom, BBA, MCom, BEd, Diploma, etc.)

Who can walk in?

Short answer: almost everyone with an IGNOU connection.

Long answer:

  • Final-year students
  • Fresh graduates
  • Alumni
  • Even experienced candidates

Yeah, it’s one of those rare “no one’s gatekeeping your entry” situations.

Companies & roles (the part you actually care about)

Here’s where it gets interesting:

  • CollegeDekho
    Hiring ~50 Academic Counsellors
    Salary: ₹19,000/month + incentives
    Location: Gurugram
  • YSL Hospitality
    Roles in sales, marketing, operations
    Salary: ₹18,000 – ₹25,000/month
  • Sarrthi IAS
    Hiring for creative + managerial roles
    Salary: ₹3 – ₹3.84 LPA
  • Gupteshwar Samiti
    Training-based roles with accommodation, meals, stipend

Not unicorn salaries, sure. But solid entry points if you’re trying to break into the job market without waiting six months for a “We regret to inform you” email.

What you need to carry 

  • 2 copies of your CV
  • Government ID (Aadhaar/PAN)
  • IGNOU ID card
  • Passport-size photos
  • Educational certificates
  • Experience letters (if any)

I’ve seen people get turned away for missing one tiny document. Painful.

Why this actually matters

Look, campus drives can feel random. You walk in, talk to five recruiters, walk out confused. But here’s the thing, IGNOU rarely hosts large-scale drives like this with multiple sectors involved. That alone makes it worth showing up. Also, small reality check. A friend once skipped a similar drive thinking “I’ll prepare more and go next time.” There was no “next time” for six months. By then, motivation = zero.
