Course Curriculum Overview

3.5

I chose this course considering my interest in East Asian culture and Languages. The Faculty: Student ratio is 1:40 and most of the professors are Ph.D scholars. The teaching method comprises reading books and learning after it which stipulates the form of an ancient education system like any other mediocre Indian University. "An important factor to consider is that faculty sometimes fell short due to a shortage of subject masters(or should I say language) For example, Chinese faculty is much in number and experience than Korean and Japanese while the latter suffer the incompetency of the number of faculty. Term exams happened to be very fast but it was due to the internal issues that remain consistent in DU and except that there would be tons of Internal Assessments that play a major role in one's SGPA. Exam level - Hard!

Fees and Financial Aid

The fee structure is very nominal and applies to the majority of the section and only EWS Candidates get to have benefits of Fee reduction, but it all varies according to Delhi University's guidelines. No scholarship or Financial assistance has been provided by the department and neither has the job opportunities which one can question before enrolling in the department.

Campus Life

1

The department is quite depressing and needs major infrastructure advancement. There is a huge shortage of classrooms and doesn't align with the accommodation to satisfy the ratio of students enrolled in the department. Sometimes, professors have to take classes in African departments or get to struggle with the availability of seats. There are no social groups, clubs, or websites to again accommodate the interests of students, let alone to mention there's no department's specific website available in the first place. No Sports and extracurricular activities take place on the campus. The Library is updated concerning course structure and the books recommended by faculty.

Admission

The eligibility of the course is very simple and that is - Undergraduate from any university recognized by the Government of India. - There's no such application form for such a course, all you have to do is to take the CUET Entrance exam and get shortlisted for the following program. Selection varies on the score of the entrance exam and differs according to yearly cut-offs. - All the reservation benefits too vary according to the University's guidelines. - Admission process is smooth as one need to register themselves on DU's portal and whole process is integrated on website that one can look after!

Whatever I have read in my bachelors, I got to know it deeper in my Masters. The timings of the exams were okay according to the syllabus. Also there was no difficulty level if you have read the syllabus properly.

Course Curriculum Overview:

Since I had done my bachelors in Sociology (H), I found it fit to pursue public administration and due to my other prior engagements I opted for the ODL programme hence IGNOU. The course can be very lengthy and tiring and above all you have to figure it all out on you own and so it can get a bit confusing too sometimes. The exams and assignment submissions happen only once a year.

I must say that the syllabus of the IGNOU was one of the major reasons behind my admission in this university. The university provides relevant and compact study materials that are easy to comprehend. The syllabus provided in-depth knowledge about the subject and enhanced my interest in my subject. The knowlede I have gained will surely help me in my future career.
