The college provides weekend open classes with a favorable student-teacher ratio, and all faculty have PhDs, many from prestigious Indian institutions like JNU. Faculty members bring international exposure and strong concept clarity to their teaching. The Masters in Philosophy program has fewer students, mainly attracting those aiming for academic careers or NET/JRF qualifications. Examination centers are conveniently close to study centers for student accessibility. The MA program at IGNOU does not include placement opportunities.

The course fee is split into two installments, totaling 14,000-15,000 INR, with additional exam fees, bringing the overall cost to around 20,000 INR. Scholarships are available and detailed on the IGNOU portal. The annual fee for a master's in philosophy is 7,000 INR, requiring at least 50% in previous qualifications for eligibility. This program suits students pursuing regular courses who want to further their knowledge, although it offers limited physical classes.

My experience at IGNOU (M.A philosophy)

Likes

You get study material in hand printed which is very beneficial for students who are also pursuing upsc and otter competetive exams, but if talked about vast info that is available in regular courses, that's something universty needs working on with.
All you get there is knowledge that too is theoritical 90% and practical for fewer course. Regional centres and study centre do provide with lot of help. Giving exams is very easy as exam centres are always close by.

Dislikes

Information that is provided in the textbooks is less compared to regular colleges
No practical bases knowledge and faculty lacks.

Fees and Financial Aid:

My experience at ignou ?7000/year fee for masters in philosophy has been somewhat okay as its open learning. Anybody above 50% can apply for this course. It's good for students who are currently pursing regular courses and wanna enhance their knowledge. But as u rarely get physical classes it is not worth it .
