IGNOU review by Mohd Zaid

Likes

I like the education system of IGNOU. They offered distance learning.
Updates were on all time. With the university confirmation guidelines.
Classes were hybrid. Those who can come to university may come or else join virtually.

Dislikes

Books were not delivered on time. Delayed in books.
Assignments should be submitted offline by visiting to the centre.
Support materials were not delivered on time.

Fee structure for my bachelors programme on IGNOU was 3000/- per year tuition as well as 3000/- per year examination fee. Totally the fee cost to me approx. 6000/- per year and 18000/- for whole course.

Journey of an open university student

I liked the variety of course of the university, the website og the university is also very easy to use.
The best is that the flexibility in the courses, you can complete you three year course in 5 years.

Student Snaps:

When i took admission in 1st year the fees was 4800, every year this is same because every year re-admission takes place. the additional exam fees is 300 per subject, 500 for practical based subject and we can get 10% off in yearly fee if we dont apply for the physical study material. the fees of IGNOU is very affordable and anyone can do any course in this university.

Learning material the study material provided as comprehensive and sex self explanes IGNOU sands study material directly to students which are usually very detailed and design for self learning
Affordability ignou's fee structure is one of the lowest among Indian institute ,making it accessible to avoid range of students

The fee structure at IGNOU varies by course and is generally affordable compared to other institutes for undergraduate programs the fees range from around 6000 to 5000 for the entire program purpose graduation programs the cause typically range between 10000 to 20000 through specialised courses like an MBA maybe the higher faces of an around 37800 for the complete program certificate and diploma programs are usually price between 3000 to 10000 IGNOU fees have seen a flight increasing recently changes in administrative and operation maybe revised so it's best to check

My Sight

I liked the fee structure and i suggested this to my friends and cousin who also took admission in the same university i was. They were also happy and learned many thins the way i did.

The year-wise fees I paid was: 22000 Registration fees: 6000 Application fees: 200 per subject. Total subjects: 7 per year. Books were provided by the college books charges were 1500 but it was optional we had an option to not to take soft copies we could just download the pdf or we could purchase from the market either. It was the better option for the 1st and 2nd year i had soft copies but the 3rd year I downloaded the pdf and learned from that it was good for me I liked this option.

IGNOU Bachelor Of Arts Program (3 year review).

The course I opted for was of 3 years. The fees for the first 2 years was same and was 3500 inr and for the 3rd year was 4000 inr. The registration fees varies between 300-500 for different courses. There was no other development fees , lab fees or anything else but there was exam fees of 200 per subject. The scholarship was available for female students but no such thing was available for male candidates. The fees of other students varies between 3000-5000 for different categories they opted. In some subjects there were some practical exam and fees for that was 100-150 per subject.
