What Students Say?
Likes
- this college has diverse course offerings and have supportive learning environment.if you are thinking about doing a course sidewise without giving your much time then this college will be a best option for you.
- overall the academic programs exceeded my expectations in every aspect.Affordability can also be the reason to be a paet of the IGNOU programmes.however,you have to study your own as it doesnot offer any mentorship programme.
Dislikes
- One of the major drawback of the distance learning is face to face onteraction with professors and peers while ignou offers some online virtual classrooms and discussion forums but student may find it challenging to fully engage.
- while IGNOU provides the theoretical knowledge through its course materials,some programmmes may lack hands on practical components.this can be disadvantage for students seeking practical skills and real world experience in their chosen field.
Course Curriculum Overview
as i was preparing for the competitive exam, so didn't have much time to do a regular learning course as it requires a lot of time if you are doing a course on regular terms that is why i chose distance learning so that I can also manage my other studies also. genuinely saying in the aspect of the preparation of the real world applications, it is very limited if you are doing any course from ignou as it offers distance learning programs, so you have to do study and other things by your own. IGNOU should offer some platform in which there is content related to your respective course and proper guidance and mentorship. The timing of exams depends on the kind of course you have chosen, it can be at the end of year or half yearly according to your semesters. Talking about difficulty level if you have done the previous year question papers the chances of your scoring good increases.
Fees and Financial Aid
you will not see any sudden hike in the tution fee or course fee.there are very minor change in the fee structure in year or two years which you will not even notice. as i have done my masters in economics i have given about 7300 for my first year,the fee is bit more but as i have not ordered any study material from ignou so i had to pay less amount.however,the examination fee is also taking when you fill the examination form which is around 200rs per subject. the reserved candidates can get the scholarships or finanicial aid from the institution. i have not taken any campus employment till now but IGNOU offers many opportunties for job in their campus.
Campus Life
Almost all courses of the IGNOU comes under distance learning so there is not any kind of annual and technical festivals held by the university. The books are available on their application or during the admission you can also order the study material which they will send through courier. no, there is no sports and extracurricular activities offered by the campus.
Admission
The eligibility criteria are the same as if you are admitted to any other college. The application form is available on their website. you can simply fill out the form, submit the fee, and register yourself for the ignou program easily. The application form, application fees, and everything is available on their website when you choose your desired course. I have not availed of any reservation benefits so I did not have much information regarding that. the timing of the exams depends upon the kind of course you chose, the level of the exam paper is moderate, and if you have gone through the previous year's question papers it will help you a lot in scoring well in your exam. the admission process is quite simple, however, there is a bit need for improvement in student support services.
Faculty
The interaction with teachers in ignou courses is negligible as it majorly offers the distance learning courses in which the students and teachers interaction is almost zero.As i have done masters in economics the interaction with teachers was almost zero.i only interacted with teachers during the submission my assignments at my study centre.however there are some courses in which there are practical where you have to go at your study centres and do practicals there you have the interaction with teachers.
