What Students Say
Likes
- Self study. You can study at your own time.
- The study material provided by them covers the whole syllabus thus you don't have to purchase any other books.
- Exams take place only once a year. Thus you can work while you're studying.
Dislikes
- Assignment marks aren't great and you don't have control over it.
- Very little communication between students and teacher or course coordinator.
Course Curriculum Overview
I chose the course because of the syllabus which is very inclusive of texts from different parts of society with a variety of characters. It was also deeply theoretical. The classes are taken in your study Centre of choice and there can be from 20-40 students while there is only one teacher or course coordinator. The faculty is qualified. They hold masters and doctorates in their own specific fields and have a great amount of knowledge.
Internships Opportunities
I did internships on my own with the help of Internshala. You get more internship opportunities when you're studying from an open University because you have more time on your hands and that's exactly what is required. There weren't any opportunities provided by the college for internships in BA hons English. But other practical subject students are provided with internships.
Placement Experience
In third year one can go for campus placements. They just have to have good marks and confidence. Several companies visit and you get offers ranging from 10k a month to 30k, sometimes even more. Around 30% of students get placed in workplaces of their choice.
Fees and Financial Aid
The course BA hons English costs a total of 9600 rupees for a period of three years. There are additional amounts taken for applying for exams(200rupees per subject). You can work at your own time. However the college doesn't offer anything as such.
Campus Life
There are no fests but IGNOU conducts online discussions and presentations for the betterment of the students. They also organize writing competitions, etc., to boost the morale of students. You'll have access to the study center library which will include all kinds of books and journals depending on the study Centre.
