Fees and Financial Aid:

The total fees structure was Rs. 4800. We need to re register year wise. Rs 1600 for registration. And for writing exams Rs 200 per subject was applicable. Moreover if we fail the exams we can try next time. The revaluation fees is Rs 750. It's very much high.

My experience with IGNOU's B.com programe

Course fees was affordable for all the public and there was no reservation

Dislikes

Took long time for result declaration after exam
Takes long to get the original marksheet after course completion

In my B.com course I have paid a total amount of rs.20000-24000 as admission fees and rs.200 per subject for examination fees, There were no other fees like registration fees, caution fees, development fees. Fees was same for all the batchmates and during my course I have not received any scholarship or financial aids.

A Comprehensive Review of B.Com at IGNOU

The course is overall pretty easy wherein one is expected to know most of the topics provided in the study material and prepare the assignment and submit it to the study center once in a year.

The lack of transparency in the marking process of the assignments and the year end examinations is also another major drawback.

The yearly fees is 4,200 INR for 3 years which makes the total course fees 12,600. An additional 300 INR should be paid in the 1st semester as registration fee. On payment of the yearly fees, the university sends books in hard copy form. A 15% discount is allowed if the student opts for the soft copy version of the books.

A glimpse into campus life and social space

The exams are taken place with strict rules giving least chances for malpractice s

Those dates may extend and at times the exam bookings may get booked so fast
In such a manner that the only available exam centeres will be miles aprt from our ins

It is indeed the only credible degree that people whom we approach during the interview they truly value this. Than any other degrees as there are multiple degrees offerings these days. Moreover the exam structure and implementation is great they keep updating us like they notify as the important dates and upcoming session especially on how and when we should submit our assignment as i am doing this degree along with my professional career of association of certified charactered accountant. It makes it easier that i feel its so sorted.
