Benefits:
The IGNOU study material provided by the university is good enough to prepare for examination and to solve assignments. For reference, the study blocks also contain the names of reference books at the end of it.
If the students study the books provided by university thoroughly, then I do not think there is a need to consult any other reference book. The combination of IGNOU Books and IGNOU Previous Question Papers is sufficient for good exam preparation which takes place in the months of June and December.
