Course Curriculum Overview

5

I must say that the syllabus of the IGNOU was one of the major reasons behind my admission in this university. The university provides relevant and compact study materials that are easy to comprehend. The syllabus provided in-depth knowledge about the subject and enhanced my interest in my subject. The knowlede I have gained will surely help me in my future career.

Fees and Financial Aid

As per my university, I can say that initially it took 4000 per year and provided all the study materials and online access. IGNOU does not provide any placement, which I think is a drawback of this university. It offers a scholarship to M.Phil and PhD students of 5000 and 8000 monthly, respectively.

Campus Life

All the study materials including books and journals were easily accessible online so I did not face any issues in accessibility. As per my knowledge it has student portals to help students and other than that I have not participated in any of the extra curriculum acivities as my study center did not organised any. Socialising was difficult as it was a distance education.

Admission

Taking admission in IGNOU is not so much difficult as there is no entrance test for admission. Students have to complete their higher secondary education in order to take admission in this university for graduation. Admission can be taken online and offline but the draft of 4000 rupees must be submitted in Bikash Bhawan for students of Kolkata. The exams held in June and December and students have the facility to choose which month they want to give the exam as per their preparation. The question papers are moderate to difficult in nature.

All the mentors were highly experienced and proficient in teaching. The way they used to teach was easily understandable. They were easily approachable in the class to clear all the doubts of students. Some mentors shared their personal numbers so that students can easily reach out to them for help after the class. Contacting with some of the mentors was a little bit problematic

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.
