Which one is better correspondence course:- MA psychology from from IGNOU or MSc Psychology from University of Madras?

If you are planning to do a correspondence course, IGNOU is considered as the best option. The Indira Gandhi National Open University (Ignou) has been recognized as the world's largest open university.

When you compare the syllabus of both courses

• IGNOU MAPC Syllabus and Course Structure - IGNOU4U.in
• https://www.ideunom.ac.in/pdfs/p...

The course content of IGNOU is excellent and this adds to its reputation.

But that said there are factors one should consider before choosing IGNOU.

1. MA Psychology from IGNOU is tougher than that of Madras University.
2. The fact that overall passing percentage of IGNOU is lower also in its disadvantage.

Hence to put it bluntly after all the hard work, you may end up without a certificate.

On the other hand Msc. Psychology from Madras University is much easier to complete.
