Dislikes
- No Practical Knowledge To learn and understand something, practical work is the most important thing
- No campus life – The open distance learning format lacks traditional campus culture and peer interaction
- Most of the times, it takes an entire month for the exams to complete. Ignou exams are not tough to pass if you know your subject well.
Course Curriculum Overview
It was tough... very tough.. Starting with BCA from IGNOU, i failed in 1 subject in Semester 1, then on on 2nd sem i failed in 2 subject and finally in 3rd sem i have failed in 3 subject. By that time i thought that i can't make it even BCA. But later i realise the books are dsigned for self study and with determination i completed my BCA and then MCA. You can understand the intensity of pressure by this, we enrolled 182 students in BCA at that time. The study center didn't have the space to allocate the study slots for us... But eventully only 16 of us, were able to complete MCA. My key to succeed in IGNOU was to actully devote large quantity of “self study time” in the books... and then it was be all easy..
Fees and Financial Aid
the college is overall good and fees is some high sometimes i can not afford to submit the fees thats why i have no money and i m doing part time job for my extra income and my expanes and also study.
Campus Life
Well, if you are enrolling with Ignou, you will need to have enormous patience, enroll in study groups with your batch mates for updates from the RC you are enrolled in for assignments, practical, and other updates as it varies with different centres and getting in touch with course coordinators is a daunting challenge. Sharing my experience as a learner in MA., Psychology Jan 2021 cycle & my Regional Centre is RC 13 (Bangalore, Study Centre NMKRV) IGNOU is granted with A++ accreditation & its degree has weightage compared to many other open universities.
Admission
If you do not have any obstacles in taking regular study then you need not join IGNOU. A regular mode degree is always preferred first over distance/ correspondence mode. A Technical course like Btech required lots of practical sessions and for that you need to join regular college. In IGNOU you won’t get that much of class or study support. Join IGNOU when you are already employed or having obstacle like financial problem, time problem etc.
Faculty
If you study BCA at IGNOU, there are some advantages and disadvantages: ADVANTAGES IGNOU is a nationalized University.

If you study BCA ( 3years) at IGNOU, you can complete MCA within 2 years. Otherwise completing MCA at IGNOU takes 3 years. Since the University provides distant education, you will only have to attend classes on Sundays (for practical).
