Cost
You need not worry about the cost/fee for this program because Swayam courses are available at free of cost for all the learners.
Certification
Students who demand a certificate for the courses they complete must register for the course on the first hand. If they have registered for the course, they will be awarded the certificate when the course is completed. A small fee will be collected for the certificate.
Transferable grades/marks
In this Swayam scheme, the student upon completion of a course, has to take an assessment test. The marks scored in this exam can be transferred to the student's academic record. For this feature, UGC issued a regulation in 2016, advising all the universities to correctly identify the courses and plan where the credits can be added to the academic record of the students for courses done on Swayam.
IGNOU books online and IGNOU Solved assignment helps students to score well in exams.
