Here is a review of KIIT University based on the experience of a close friend who is now an alumnus of the institute
Pros
Cons
In all, KIIT is a good choice if you have no financial constraints and want to live a luxurious campus life.
Jain University isn’t a good option for pursuing a degree. The management isn’t cooperative. Faculty members are not experienced. Most faculty members have just completed their graduation and don’t have any experience at all. They also charge huge course fees. A B.Tech degree from Jain will cost around INR 6.6 lakhs. The college fee isn’t worth the facilities that you will get.
To be honest, IGNOU is an undesirable university in India. Don't believe those who claim that "it's the best open university" and other such nonsense. They don't give a damn about you, your future, or your time. When you go to the regional center, they tell you to go to the IGNOU headquarters. And the office of concern in the headquarter of Ignou will tell you to go to the post office, and the post office will tell you to bring the dispatch number from the headquarters of IGNOU, and they will tell you that the regional center will provide the dispatch number of the book but it would not get into your hands even at the end.
IGNOU is the worst open university; they value the number of students over the quality of education. They do nothing to help students, and IGNOU is just a big scam run by undeserving people and goons. It is strongly advised to avoid IGNOU. AMU and Jamia are far superior for open studies.
