Course Curriculum Overview

3

The curriculum needs to be updated to reflect the current research and trends in the field of Psychology. But it still provides a good base for learning, and taking that learning forward. For someone deeply interested in the subject as myself, it works as a great springboard for future learning.

Fees and Financial Aid

Tuition fee is very affordable. Approximately Rs. 10000 per year. This is a major plus point of being a student at IGNOU. By keeping the fee low, its education is accessible to students from all walks of life.

Campus Life

5

Not applicable for me as I am pursuing an open, distance program at this university. I have not opted to take live in-person classes. I have opted for self-study, in that I receive textbooks, and appear for exams after preparing for them on my own.

Admission

Admission process was fairly smooth. They required a bachelor's degree in any field, with a minimum cut off percentage. I like the fact that IGNOU MA in Psychology program does not need you to have a BA in Psychology. If you are interested in the subject enough, then you can pursue it at IGNOU. Application form of IGNOU is available on their website itself. There are 2 intakes in a year. July and January.

Course Curriculum Overview:

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. IGNOU also provides online teachers through live classes, recorded videos, and doubt-clearing sessions on their online platforms. This makes it easy for students to learn even if they are working or living in another city.

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 that I opted for is Political Science and it is very relevant to the exam that I am preparing for. I often take help of the online material they provide. It is often recommended curriculum for UPSC/MPSC/political journalism. However they need to provide teachers or short video lectures do that the course become comprehensive.

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.
