Remarks

IGNOU is one of the best distance learning University in India. This university provides 2 term admission process every year which helps many students to continue their studies without missing out on their valuable years. The hee structure of this university is very affordable and any student can study under this recognised university with minimal facilities. Also, they give the choice of providing study material in soft as well as hard copy. The most important aspect of this university is that it gives the chance to students to reappear in the non-qualified yearly exams without wasting the time. Some negative aspects of this university are that as it provides distance learning, the quality of education is somewhat unbalanced and the interaction between teacher-student is absent. I was not able to apply for regular college because of some family issues. Then one of my friends suggested IGNOU. I took the admission in July-2018 semester for BA Economics through an online application.

Course Curriculum Overview

4

I chose Economics for my graduate degree because I had a preferable interest in this subject. Also, the choices of subjects every year entirely depend on students interest that Economics was the best choice for me. Being a distance learning University, it has nothing to do with the faculty: student ratio as students only have to go and give their examinations. As this university has no age limits regarding pursuing any degree, therefore the number of students is quite greater. The faculties of IGNOU are well qualified. Teaching is hardly done as it's a distance college. But everything related to each subject is provided online. IGNOU take the terminal examinations twice a year and it takes place in the month of June and December every year respectively with due respect to education quality, the examinations held are of graduation level and it becomes quite hard to pass if not studied thoroughly.

Placement Experience

3.5

About 60% of the students were enrolled in this course. The lowest salary package provided here is 5 LPA. The highest salary package provided is around 12 LPA. Around 50% of the students get internships in various companies like Wipro, Tata Motors, etc, from our college.

Fees and Financial Aid

The fee structure of IGNOU is very affordable for any sector of students. Although being a recognised distance learning University, it doesn't have a hiking fee structure policy. Certain scholarships are provided to bright students but it's hardly needed as the fee is minimal. Some jobs are also provided on campus with stipend.

Campus Life

Being a distance learning college, these facilities are not provided by this University. Students can only have a bit of interaction during terminal examinations. Apart from this, nothing as such takes place where these can take place.

Course Curriculum Overview:

the curriculum is decided by delhi university, economics wing and is followed by all the colleges of du, although few topic are often irrevelent which teachers tend to skip. i do feel that curriculum is pretty old and they should introduce new topic which are more related to reak=l world and give us real life experience not just bookish knowledge which is irelevent. they should also ask for students input related to their curriculum, teachers sometimes tedn to just do book reading. internal exmas are taken frequently and difficulty is 3 out of 5

Course Curriculum Overview:

It is a good course. I went for it mainly because I am preparing for UPSC CSE (pretty common around here). In that context the course is helpful, and also for those aiming to enter research, academia, museology, archaeology etc. However there are not many placement opportunities and for most it would be better to pursue masters later on. Teaching methods are inclusive, both english and hindi medium students can comfortably study. However both students and faculties have some complaints regarding the curriculum changes under NEP such as the sequence of courses in each sem.

Course Curriculum Overview:

Course is rightly designed. Plus the teachers often suggest books that can be read from library regarding course topics. The library is very nice here. I used to study in the library for long hours. The exam notes and everything is available at the photocopy shop that's inside the college. Writing this review really made me miss the college more

Initially i took this course beacuse i filled it as a backup for coming into delhi university but now i can say that the course is very interesting and it is practically applicable in daily life.

Reviewed on Aug 16, 2024(Enrolled 2022)

Placement Experience:

Campus placement is done in the 3rd year. The highest PPO given is 24,00,000 to auditing and taxation departments. Average package is about ?15,00,000 to ?18,00,000. Companies like Eay, KPMG and more visit our college for placement. Most students under the commerce department get offered internships. Other than this, the placement cell also actively keeps sending internship opportunities for students to enhance their profiles. I am an English honours student l, thus there is no placement option for me directly unless I take up options from the P-Cell. I have already interned at EY India, Gurgaon, as a forensics and risk management specialist( throigh personal referral).My knowledge (attained from DCAC) of research, report and article writing were used adequately.

Placement Experience:

Generally, after BA no one is placed and even if we apply for a job we don't get a good package. So, students generally go for masters or some other courses through which they can get placements. Talking of college placement and internship cell we don't have very good facilities as very limited companies are there for recruiting students. Many students don't even get the internship. This is a major negative point of college.
