Remarks

A good remark about the college would be that it's very feasible and flexible. As I mentioned, it is for everyone. One has the facility to sit for the term end exam twice in one year. One can sit for the June exam and if by any chance you have missed it or flunked it, you can again sit for the exam in December.

Course Curriculum Overview

4.5

The best part about Ignou is that it has a variety of degree courses and as well as Diploma and certificate courses. And even when you choose a course, you can choose from different topics as well which is best suited for you. For instance, if you choose to take History as one of the three subjects for your bachelor's, you can choose from Ancient, Medieval, or Modern History of India. The study material which is provided from the college is delivered at your doorstep, and believe it or not, it's pretty thorough.

Placement Experience

2.5

A lot of placement drives take place at Ignou, Maidangarhi, Sake. All the students of Ignou are invited to attend the interviews through SMS. A lot of placements happens within the Ignou campus as well. If there's a vacancy on the campus, the students of Ignou are contacted first through the SMS.

College Events

2.5

I have not attended any sort of technical, cultural, or management festivals at the campus, so I don't believe I'm the right person to give you details about it. But I remember, once I got an SMS from ignou about an event. It was an invitation for planting green plants and trees I'm the campus to support the green environment.

Fee Structure And Facilities

I am a student since 2011. At present, I'm pursuing my Master's degree in English literature, which is usually completed in 2 years (minimum) (5 years maximum). Fees for one year is Rs. 5000.00 only. The registration fee is Rs. 1000.00. Exam fees are Rs. 120.00 per subject.

Fees and Financial Aid

I think they must have some scholarship program or contest, but I can assure you I have no knowledge of that. So I can neither confirm nor deny this particular thing.

Campus Life

4.5

There are more than 50 colleges that serve as a study center for Ignou students. They consist of canteens, laboratories, or places where they arrange workshops for the students. During the week the colleges are filled with the regular college-going students, but during the weekends, it's filled with the Ignou students.

Hostel Facilities

2.5

There is a hostel facility in Ignou, Maidangarhi, Saket. They have a huge campus, which one cannot walk and visit, it's that big. They have a hostel facility for the students as well as the staff. They have different buildings for the students of humanities or. Science or commerce.

Alumni/Alumna

I have a lot of friends and a few of my colleagues who are or who have been students of Indra Gandhi National Open University at one point or the other. Networking is not difficult, because there is a whole section just for students on the university's website. And we can connect with our seniors when we visit the study centers. They are very helpful, especially when it comes to suiting assignments.

Admission

I am a student of Ignou since 2011. I've been a working girl to support myself and to bear my expense for a very long time. And attending a full-time college and working was something that I couldn't juggle myself through. Admission to Ignou is not difficult at all. And especially at present, when things are done online. So, no need to stand in a long queue. Ignou has its own website for admissions and to check the status of registration as well.

Faculty

2.5

There are Study centers for the students, many known colleges offer their buildings for Ignou study centers in Delhi, (mine is-Jesus and Mary College). This is where the students go to attend classes and submit assignments. The faculty is cooperating and we'll be versed with knowledge.

In IGNOU, you can study from anywhere because the courses are offered in distance and online mode. You don’t have to attend regular college; you can study at home using the books, PDFs, and online lectures.

Course Curriculum Overview:

For the course i must say that this is something everyone needs to study about even if it's for just a part. We have ethics, moral, cultural relativism and etc. In our syllabus and it all really help to make our thinking rational, to see World from that point of view from where one can see the clarity. It's really necessary for improvement in personality and making good decision. I think there's need for making this course more practical like teaching, we can teach students about essentials of philosophy for there betterment of decision making from an early age.

Course Curriculum Overview:

The course is very relevant and covers all the history topics comprehensively. The study material is very good as many upsc aspirants and students preparing for competitive exams refer it. Though the curriculum can be improved by limiting and only adding the essential topics in it. There is too much of unnecessary information which makes it difficult to understand at times.
