Indira Gandhi national open university (Review)

The best part of the university is that it is a open university so students can study while doing their jobs. The negative thing about university is that it has a some complicated rules in which most of the students get troubled. So for that watch videos before taking admission.

It's good. Means IGNOU gives you chance to select subjects of your own choice which make our way much easy. But some students got confused in it. So for that you have to read the COMMON PROSPECTUS of IGNOU. It is course guidance for students and helps a lot in understanding course curriculum.

Yes it does provide internships. I am currently in 2nd year so I didn't face one. But the internships are not that great. Internships provided by regular universities are better than that one. So in terms of internship IGNOU is not that good.

Yes it IGNOU started placement for their students from past 1year but like internship they are not that great. You can easily find jobs like,that are provided by IGNOU. After all it is a distance learning university.

It is a open university so there very least events that are celebrated here. Convention is the only that happens every year. But students can attend fest of their study centre by the proof of their identity card and enjoy it.

The fee structure is very feasible. Which is the one of the reason why every year lots of students took admission in the university. For example For Bsc Hons it's 13,500 which is 4,500 per annum(very feasible).

Yes IGNOU provides scholarships but not for every one. They are only for SC, st , OBC and for only girls child. In which 50% of seats are for girls. There is no fix date or time for applying for scholarships you can apply throughout the year.

Again, it is a open university. So there is no extracurricular activities , sports etc here. For LAB lab sessions are done by different study centres. You have to registration on your regional centre before attending lab classes.

As it provides you distance learning so students don't need to live in a hostels. Talking about infrastructure is very good all. The main college , regional centres , and any other official of the university are constructed very well.

Ya some how senior students are quite helpful on how to select subject, how to prepare for exams and how to prepare projects ,etc. They give you proper guidance. So every student must have contact of any senior one.

Exam structure is very good here. Students can select exam centres according to their convinent. You can give exam twice a year either in June or in December. You have to fill the exam form before 2 months of exam period.

The admission procedure is very simple. Everything is online. So you just have to fill up your form online and pay your fees. Sometimes students got some doubts regarding selecting there subjects ( IGNOU gives you freedom of choosing subject) and selecting there regional centre , for that you can watch videos on YouTube.

It's depends. Like some of the regional centre and study centres have very good faculty members and some of them have lazy one also. Of course IGNOU is a huge university so every can't be good or can't be bad.
