IGNOU: Students' Opinion

AI-Generated Summary based on 15 Reviews

The college offers a computer science course with a qualified faculty, where professors hold M.Tech or Ph.D. degrees and have at least 5 years of experience. With a student-to-teacher ratio of 30:1, classes encourage effective interaction and a friendly environment. Despite the course's systematic design, concerns about unfair marking practices affecting student success have been raised. Campus placements begin in the last semester with companies like TCS and EY participating, but the placement rate is relatively low.

The highest average salary package is around 5 lakh INR. TCS offers internships with a stipend of approximately 10,000 INR, though few students secure positions. Semester fees range from INR 12,000 to INR 15,000, with total costs between INR 40,000 and INR 60,000. Examination fees are additional, at INR 200-300 per subject, and practical fees can reach INR 500. Scholarships are mainly for reserved category students and those below the poverty line, offering INR 7,000 to INR 10,000, with discounts for digital materials.

While fees are deemed affordable compared to other institutes, concerns have been expressed regarding their value relative to educational quality. Final-year students have access to job placement opportunities, but on-campus job options are limited.
