What Students Say

Likes

It is a Distance Learning school, so It is very convinent to learn.
Due to Open learning system , I can also pursue other skills or jobs simultaneously.
The college offers higher studies at very affordable price

Dislikes

Study material provided is not enough to prepare for the exam.
Exam checking and grading system is not good
the assignment system is not so smooth , it does not provide any help in study

Course Curriculum Overview

The curriculum is very broad and relevant, it covers both theory and practical aspects of the subject. It is very nice to prepare for further higher studies, though more real-world cast studies and interactive teaching.

Course Fees: INR 6000 per year

Fees and Financial Aid

Yearly Fee - INR 5500 (Tution fee) + 600 ( Practical fee) +1600 ( exam Fee) General sholarships available. Usually category based ( SC/ST , Differently abled , Other communities). For offline study material ( optional) - INR 5800 per year ( approx)

Campus Life

IGNOU has limited to no campus life as it's a distance mode university. library is resourceful, study centers are supportive and student portals also does help to connect us for activities and other discussions.

Admission

I chose IGNOU for its flexible distance learning, affordable fees, and wide course options. Admission is simple, merit-based with online admission process. there are no cuttoffs, making it more accessible than other colleges.

Faculty

IGNOU faculty and helpdesk is helpful and reachble but due to distance learning mode it is a bit less needed. Apart from that course sturucture is clear, accurate and relevant. The course is also very updated.

Night Life

It has no traditional nightlofe due to its distance-learning model. study centers closes early, no hostels or late campus hangouts. students mostly unwind at home or nearby safe local cafes and other spots.

THE COLLEGE THAT MOULDED ME TO ME!

Course Curriculum Overview:

The course curriculum is relevant to the current aspects of real world. It is also very focused on the practical component of the subject and helps us know how to apply our theoretical concepts in real life. Aspects that influenced me were: the practicality, the relatibiltiy of concepts and the testing approaches as well.

Truth About Hidden IPCW (DU)

Placement Experience:

Since i am 2nd year myself, hearing from seniors, seeing placement cell activities and reading reports, placement at ipcw are decent but far from perfect. The placement drive is not as huge or reliable as some commerce Acc. to the nirf report, for ug courses out of 1204 eligible students 118 got placed, which is roughly 9-10, for pg course, out of 100 eligible students only 6 got placed. Median package for UG was 6.20 lakhs per annum, and for pg is 6.7 lakhs per annum. In earlier years (2022-23) , median UG package was higher. The highest package went to 23 lakhs per annum which was quite impressive. It was from DE Show and co., Wipro, Capgeminie etc. there are regular recruiters like DE. Shaw abd co.,Wipro, Capegemini, Godrej properties, Sirion Labs etc. What i feel personaly as an eco hons. student unless i build extra i cant really expect placement. Masters and competetive exams are next option

Placement Experience:

Economics Hons can offer financial assistance and become great consultation too. So from Deloitte or the Big 4 many consultancy firms such as BCG and many more may not be that big but do come to our campus for recruitments.

The Story Called DU

Course Curriculum Overview:

The richness of literature always attracted to me. The curriculum didn't hold books of bookish nature but had real works. The teachings of the course aren't of spoon-feeding kind but something which made us explore, research, learn and re-learn by ourselves. Maybe a more feedback-based teaching could improve the teaching methods. And less importance should be given to additional papers from the core such as SEC, VAC and AEC (new papers according to the NEP)

Ignou: Flexibility And Disappointment

I had also applied in DU for B.Sc. (Hons) Statistics but the cutoffs were very high and only a few top colleges offered that course. DU SOL also did not provide B.Sc. courses at that time, so I finally chose IGNOU. The admission process is fully online through the IGNOU website. You need to sign in, upload your Class 10 and 12 marksheets, Aadhaar or other supporting documents, fill personal details, and pay the course fee. For most courses you just need to pass Class 12, but for some courses there is a percentage requirement or specific subjects needed to study in class 12 like in my case maths. My overall admission experience was okay, but the approval process took a long time. In my case, it took almost 3 months to finally get the confirmation of admission....Read More

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....Read More
