Red Flags — Be Honest With Yourself

Edify gives you the honest picture. Read these before you decide.

  • Placement assistance is not a placement guarantee. Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU) provides career support and networking introductions. Final employment outcomes depend on your skills, preparation, and market conditions.
  • Online programs require self-discipline. Without campus structure, results are directly proportional to the consistency and initiative you bring to your studies.
  • Verify overseas recognition separately if you plan to work or study abroad. UGC-DEB approval covers Indian employment and higher education. International recognition varies by country.

This section is Edify's independent editorial. No university pays us to omit red flags.
