IGNOU Faculty

The faculty at the college is generally considered experienced and qualified, with many holding advanced degrees like PhDs. The faculty-to-student ratio varies, with some reports suggesting a ratio of 60:1, which can limit individual attention. However, the faculty is often described as approachable and supportive, especially during scheduled sessions, though some students report inconsistent communication and availability. Classes are typically held on weekends, aligning with the university's distance learning model, which limits regular interaction.

There is a strong emphasis on self-study, with resources such as YouTube channels and Gyan Darshan TV broadcasts supplementing learning. Exams are held annually, with a mix of theory and practical assessments, and assignments contribute a significant portion to final grades. The marking scheme typically requires a minimum of 40% to pass, with some students finding the exams moderately challenging. Overall, the faculty is praised for being professional, knowledgeable, and supportive, though improvements in communication and resource availability are suggested.

All about IGNOU

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

What it feels like to study at India's biggest open university, IGNOU

Student Snaps:

in my sourse, i.e. M.A. English Literature, there are 4 subjects each year and can be chossen by students from the given pair of modules, e.g. british literature, american literature, indian literature, etc. Each year a student has to take one full module by selecting only 3 subjects and the remaining one subject is an elective one which is same for all modules and students. The faculties were very good at their work and were available on call whenever we need them. If the class has been cancelled, then our faculty make sure to cover the left part by assigning a new class in between. The classes were in both on line and off line mode. I had total of 4 teachers in 2 years, namely: Amit Sir, Anand Sir, Mohit Sir and Monica mam. All of them are extrememly helpful and qualifies for their role. In Amit Sir, I found my role model and he never disappoints to mark his impressions on his students. Mostly the faculty members were from University of Delhi. The exam pattern was divided into 2 parts, internals (Assignments) and externals (Annual Examination). Although both internal and external parts hold 100 marks, but in the final resultant only 30% of internals and 70% of externals marks are counted, which is very unfair for students as their final percentage dropped by 4-5% in the final result. There is an app where you can download their study material for free, plus you can also buy the study material while submitting your examination fee. It is so far the best content I've read as a beginner in English Literature, and all the subjects are designed in a systematic manner, even I personally used them during my UGC NET preps which I cleared in one go in Assistant Professor category.
