Course Curriculum Overview

3

As i am working so i had to join distance study thats why i chose IGNOU. Curriculum ok but not that much updated. Based on totally self study that's what I can say.

Fees and Financial Aid

As we know Ignou is a renowned Board for distance study but i want to make it clear that it is totally based on self study as you will get only 2 or 3 online classes(though only in 1st year).and if you have practical paper then you will get 3-4 practical classes each year which is clearly not enough. so basically you need to study on your own like making notes, experiments, projects etc etc and some candidates has misconceptions regarding exam papers that its very easy to clear i want to make it clear that its not that easy. You need to study hard to clear papers and you only get 4 years to complete your degree. otherwise you need take readmission placement assistance.

Campus Life

3

As it is a open university there is no cultural program or alumni meet happens. every candidate is normally assigned with a study center (candidate can choose as per their location). you need to submit assignments their only.

Admission

Literally I dont have that much idea about private distance colleges that time And i heard about Ignou that its certificate is valid. If you want to take admission in ignou you need visit their website there are two admission session one is July and another is January. you have to fill application form then submit all required documents .pay the yearly fee and they will send you confirmation mail and classes link. Join whatsapp group of Students it would be helpful to get all the informations regarding assignment submission, exam dates.

Faculties are not always available. may be in whatsapp group. But not like regular universities. I had only 2 classes over the meet in my 1st year thats all. no more classes except practical classes. Exam papers are relatively difficult. you need study hard not piece of cake i would say

Night Life

3

There is no such facility like gym and all. if you are looking for a happening college or university then its not for you i must say. its a open university. you will get study materials need to self study, submit assignment at study center , attend practical classes ,and seat for exam to a exam center thats all.

Course Curriculum Overview:

I have did my BA in the same course that's why I opted for this again in my MA. The curriculam was quiet good according to the previous syllabus. Whatever I have read in my bachelors, I got to know it deeper in my Masters. The timings of the exams were okay according to the syllabus. Also there was no difficulty level if you have read the syllabus properly.

Course Curriculum Overview:

Since I had done my bachelors in Sociology (H), I found it fit to pursue public administration and due to my other prior engagements I opted for the ODL programme hence IGNOU. The course can be very lengthy and tiring and above all you have to figure it all out on you own and so it can get a bit confusing too sometimes. The exams and assignment submissions happen only once a year.

Course Curriculum Overview:

No matter how poor the faculty is, the course is well-defined. The syllabus is a but lengthy but quite useful for later educational requirements. But there is anothe rloop hole here. The syllabus of the Department of English shows a list of around 25 courses that they offer the students, but that is just a dillusion. They only offer limited courses with no choices to the students to choose amongst them. There can be much betterment if the department gives more options to the students to choose from and recruite good faculty members for the same. The exam frequency is fine, there are internal assignments and then end semester examinations, for each semester.

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.

Reviewed on Jan 17, 2024(Enrolled 2023)

Course Curriculum Overview:

I chose this course considering my interest in East Asian culture and Languages. The Faculty: Student ratio is 1:40 and most of the professors are Ph.D scholars. The teaching method comprises reading books and learning after it which stipulates the form of an ancient education system like any other mediocre Indian University. "An important factor to consider is that faculty sometimes fell short due to a shortage of subject masters(or should I say language) For example, Chinese faculty is much in number and experience than Korean and Japanese while the latter suffer the incompetency of the number of faculty. Term exams happened to be very fast but it was due to the internal issues that remain consistent in DU and except that there would be tons of Internal Assessments that play a major role in one's SGPA. Exam level - Hard!
