Remarks
Eligibility is very flexible. For Admissions, students may visit IGNOU online admission website or can visit the nearest Regional Centres, Check the admission deadlines for both intes - Sep/Jan. The admission process is really smooth. My Study Centre was Ramanujam College, Delhi.
Course Curriculum Overview
I chose this course because I was looking to attend the UPSC Civil Services exam, and this course helped me in a major part of the syllabus. Student to Faculty ratio can be 25-45, depending upon the assigned regional centre. Faculty were mostly, P.HD holders or undergoing research in DU. Examination schedules were also good.
Internships Opportunities
I didn't attend an internship because I was enrolled in full time job, but we were having assignments that demend self-research. Especially for Economics, Public administration. 30% weightage for the assignment was given in final exams.
Placement Experience
From time to time, students will be getting notifications and emails for campus placement, organised at IGNOU University main Campus, Maidan Garhi. This degree helped me to improve comprehensive thinking. genrally15-20 percent of students can get placements.
Fees and Financial Aid
Since it's a Cental Gov. University, the tuition fee is very affordable. Admission fee along with exam fee would not cost you more than 8000-10000 per year. But there was some stipend for backward social classes.
Campus Life
My study centre was Deshbandhu College/ Ramanujam College, There were properly scheduled classes on weekends (Saturday/Sunday). The faculty was very supportive and they clear all the doubts. Classrooms were the same as Delhi University students.
Interview Experience
I was having Pubic Administration as an elective - We discussed about the political interference in administrative working. Admission process can take upto 15-20 days after the application submission, student will be issued a IS card for all further conversation with enrollment number. There was not written test or admission.
