Course Curriculum Overview

4

The course that I opted for is Political Science and it is very relevant to the exam that I am preparing for. I often take help of the online material they provide. It is often recommended curriculum for UPSC/MPSC/political journalism. However they need to provide teachers or short video lectures do that the course become comprehensive.

Fees and Financial Aid

In the first year of my programme I paid ?8200.In which, programme fee was ?7700 developmental fees was ?200 registration fees was ?300 In the current year i.e second year I pas ? 6545. Hnece the total fees of my course is ?14745. This is bacause I belong to ST category and I avail for printed sources which gave a discount of 15%. Otherwise the fees is generally ?15400 for Master of Arts (Political Science). As it is a Open Distance Learning Programme there are no scholarship as of now.

Campus Life

1

There is no campus life. There are no annual or technical festivals . At the start of your programme ther is induction meetong for all and that is it. The books are pretty accesible either on internet or in printed form. There are no student run group or classroom. You study in your own space.

Admission

I have not applied for other colleges. As I am preparing for UPSC, this course is very convenient to me. The admission process of the college is pretty simple. You need to clear your bachelor program for admission in Master's degree. There is no cutoff for the course. However they take long time to confirm your admission as there are a big number of students for all over India.

Faculty

2

There is no faculty to teach the programme. You are given printed or online sources as you wish and is expected to study by yourself. You need to appear for exam once a year at the study centre. The assignments are compulsory and you need to submit them by yourself or post to your regional study center. The exams are easy and very few fails if they have not given the assignments.

Night Life

1

The main Campus is in New Delhi. There are no hostels provided by IGNOU. However the campus at the main center is big . There are no gym place but there is cafeteria, and a library. The locality is safe torom around of the study centre of Pune located in Aundh.

Course Curriculum Overview:

I have always held that the training I recieved during my masters programme prepared the grounds for my future development. The teaching pedagogy was centres around participation and a two way dialogue. I am not in the capacity to be suggesting improvements in curriculum as my stint in the university was almost perfect- more than I could have ever asked for.

Course Curriculum Overview:

The course curriculum is well designed by the renowned professors and faculty members from different universities in India and from abroad as well. The content was choosen keeping in mind to cover all the aspects of the specific subject for a pg student. As I mentioned before, the quality of study material was very good and helpful and very enough. But the pg thesis is missing from our course, due to which we were not able to do a research project. It appears to me after the completion of my first year that we can do our research under our given faculty but it wasn't mentioned in the course structure as it is mainly upto our faculties.

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.
