Dear Aspirant,

Unlike formal education classes, which has seats to be filled;  it generally has a stricter admission process. In distance learning the idea is to promote learning to a very wide audience, without age limitations to enhance the knowledge level of the population.  Having said that a guideline score of around 50-60 should allow you to join the learning program.  It is definitely not as difficult as CAT so if you have prepared well for CAT, then that will suffice.

You need to apply online on their website at https://ntaignou.nic.in .

To review their syllabus and sample question papers so that based on your ability you can map your preparation process, please visit:

Good Luck
