Remarks

I did not apply for any other colleges due to family reasons. I haven't availed any quotas. There weren't any minimum marks to be obtained for taking admission in IGNOU. One has to just pass in every subject. There wasn't any minimum age as well. Admission was provided to everyone who duly and correctly filled the admission form and had passed the 12th exams. There wasn't any counselling day. I took admission to IGNOU because it's the best open university in India. Taking admission to an open university helps me save time for preparation for UPSC exams. Although, the benefits of attending college are not here I'm quite satisfied.

Course Curriculum Overview

5

I choose Economics Hons. because that would help me in UPSC exams. Clearing this exam is the sole objective of my life in which Economics Hons. plays an important part. Since it's a non attending college, teachers aren't directly in contact with the students. It's the university and the office members who help the students. Exams are conducted yearly and there is one benefit of taking admission in IGNOU here. Students like me who study away from their hometown get to choose their exam centres. Like at the time of exams, sometimes I stay in Delhi but sometimes I stay in my hometown Patna. So, while filling the exam form, I can choose whether I would like to give my exams in Delhi or Patna.

Fees and Financial Aid

The fee is very low. It's around 2700 for a year and 200 per paper is required at the time of filling the exam form. It's very nominal and affordable. The books are also sent by the university in the first year. But in the second year and third year, we have to manage our books. The cost of the books is also very low. There is a reduction in fees for the reserved category of students.

Campus Life

3

Since IGNOU is an open university, there is no fest conducted by the college. Though the students can avail the facility of the library and can issue the books at their convenience. There are no sports and extracurricular activities in the college. There are no social groups or clubs for the students run by the students.

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

Placements definitely stands out as passive placement cell of the college is too good. They are quite aggressive and keep attacking us with getting ready for placements. As top corporate house like Big 4 and top Indian conglomerate also comes to our college for placements.

Course Curriculum Overview:

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. Tho the theory exams are quite difficult and subjects like advance mme where max students fail exist but then also it is doable and has market value

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.
