Ignou MCA Study Material- The Indira Gandhi National Open University provides study material to all the students who take admission to Master of Computer Applications in the form of study blocks. The university provides the study material at the students communication physical address via Registered post / Speed Post.
The university print the MCA syllabus in the form of study blocks.While filling up the IGNOU MCA admission form, the applicant should make sure that he or she fills the correct address for correspondence where you would like to receive your study material and all other information from university.

Sometimes, the students do not receive their Ignou MCA study material at their physical communication address due to various reasons. They don’t need to worry about it as they can collect their books from their respected study centres.
The soft copy of the study blocks are also uploaded by university online for the student’s convenience in case, if they do not receive their study material. You can always download the Master of Computer Applications study material in the form of PDF files by visiting the website at http://www.egyankosh.ac.in.
Students need to register themselves at website and then must be logged in to download the study material.
In case of non receipt of study material, the students should write to the Regional Director, IGNOU Regional Centre at their city where they stand enrolled/ admitted.
