There is a big gap for many of us who want to or are currently teaching at college and university levels: We know what we're doing, but nobody has taught us how to do it effectively in higher education. The IGNOU Post Graduate Diploma in Higher Education Admission has been designed to address this specific need. It emphasizes teaching skills, curriculum knowledge, and the realities in higher education for all lecturers, professors, and potential faculty.
This one-year PG Diploma is offered by the School of Education, IGNOU. It is designed for postgraduates in engineering, medicine, and law, as well as professionals and teachers from universities, colleges, and other higher learning institutions. It allows us to continue our teaching or work while we upgrade the profile of our profession.
Unnati Education views this program as a bridge that connects strong subject knowledge with effective classroom practices. Our role is straightforward but firm: We will guide and support you throughout the entire process, from 0 through 100. This way, your academic journey will feel clear and manageable rather than confusing and scattered.
Many teacher education programs exist. But this one is focused on teaching in the higher education sector. It's not designed for school teachers, but rather those who are already faculty at colleges, universities, or professional institutes, or want to be.
