IGNOU courses focus on self-study and have limited faculty interaction due to their online nature. Students must take four exams each year, totaling eight over the course duration. The program covers both classical and advanced concepts, theories, and research methods. While the faculty is considered cooperative, interaction is minimal. Exams are annual with moderate difficulty, requiring little preparation, and study materials and assignments are useful despite the course being lengthy and theoretical.

Placement programs are available from the 3rd or 5th semester, with internships in various fields, often organized by government and semi-government bodies. The MA Sociology program has a registration fee of INR 6,000 per year for two years, totaling INR 12,000. Exam fees are INR 200 per subject, with an annual total of INR 800, bringing the program's total cost to about INR 14,600. SC/ST students are exempt from the registration fee, paying only exam fees, reducing their cost to less than INR 2,000.

IGNOU does not offer scholarships, internships, or campus placements for this course, but registration and exam processes are straightforward and conducted online. Students register through the official website and pay an admission fee of INR 600.

IGNOU- Great Option to Pursue Your Desired Course from Distance!

The annual fee that I had to pay for MA (Sociology) was approximately INR 9,000, which included the charges for the study material sent to us for our course. There weren't any other charges except from that, but we do had to pay the exam fee for our annual exams.

Affordable to pursue any course in this university

Dislikes

Some times results get delayed and assignments marks doesn't updated .

For first year registration fee was 6000 rupees And second year again 6000 Exams fees has to pay differently which is 800, (200 for a subject), each year . So, total cost to complete this course is 13600. Registration and exam pattern is very easy and smooth. It's very affordable. If someone belongs to SC/ST, they don't need to pay any yearly registration fee, only exam fee per subject has to pay by them. So they can complete their course just in less than 2000 rupees.
