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.

Faculty

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:

In IGNOU, you can study from anywhere because the courses are offered in distance and online mode. You don’t have to attend regular college; you can study at home using the books, PDFs, and online lectures. IGNOU also provides online teachers through live classes, recorded videos, and doubt-clearing sessions on their online platforms. This makes it easy for students to learn even if they are working or living in another city.

Course Curriculum Overview:

For the course i must say that this is something everyone needs to study about even if it's for just a part. We have ethics, moral, cultural relativism and etc. In our syllabus and it all really help to make our thinking rational, to see World from that point of view from where one can see the clarity. It's really necessary for improvement in personality and making good decision. I think there's need for making this course more practical like teaching, we can teach students about essentials of philosophy for there betterment of decision making from an early age.

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.
