All about IGNOU

The course curriculum is aligned with UGC guidelines which matters for degree recognition and eligibility for higher studies. Theoritical foundation is solid, helps in feveloping analytical skills but very limited practical exposure. areas to improve is update outdated topics to reflect current industry trends, more interactive contact classes instead of one-way lectures. Exams are held twice a year with gaps between exams in morning and evening shift. the level of exam is moderate, not easy.

There is no sturcutured or guaranteed internship program provided by IGNOU for most UG and PG courses. It does not officially place students into internships with named companies. Academic projects only as a part of curriculum like final year project, case studies.

There is no real campus placement system in IGNOU for most UG and PG courses. No regulaar companies visit the campus. no official list of recruiters, or roles. Only few job fairs or career webinars There is no publish verified placement statistics and placement percentage is not available. my plans after getting degree is prepare for higher studies and job roles alongside

campus life at IGNOU is minimal to almost non-existent for most students. it is open university nor a residential or full-time campus based college. No regular annual cultural or technical festivals. IGNOU libraries are academically strong but underutilized. Core textbooks related to IGNOU syllabus , reference books and some academic journals are available. Not all the students actively use the library. timing and location depend on the study centre. Classrooms are basica and functional, nothing modern or impressive, traditional classrooms. No structured sports culture, no regular inter-college tournaments. No active , students run club like drama, music, debating, etc, Social interaction is very minimal and transactional.

I applied only to this college because of its flexibility ( you can choose your exam centre anywhere in India), affordability and degree recognition, not because it was my dream college. I didn't applied to any other college. The eligibility for admission is based on minimun academic qualification like 10+2 for UG programs. Only some professional programs may have entrance exam but for general UG/PG none are needed. no competitive cut offs admission is fully online and transparent with minimal paperwork.

faculty and student ratio is not good, only one faculty handles large number of student. faculties vary from study centre, what i like in good faculties is strong subject knowledge willingness to clear doubts during limited contact sessions. what i do not like in faculties is lack of interest because students are not regular. IGNOU conduct exam twice a year (June and Decmber), difficulty level is moderate, a significant number of students get backlog because of lack of regular study habits and poor answering skills. the course curriculum is highly theoritical and concept based
