What Students Say

Likes

I chose IGNOU for my graduation and post graduation as distance education was more suitable for me than regular education at that time as I had some financial constraints.
I liked the syllabus of the course as it was interesting and provided me proper knowledge about my subject. I did not face any kind of issues due to distance learning as the mentors were highly educated and proficient in teaching.
I had no tutor during my graduation and post-graduation as I did not feel the need. IGNOU made me able to study by my own without taking help from others. The syllabus was detailed and compact so I never face any problem in understanding.

Dislikes

As it was a distance education I could not make much friends. Classes were taken on Saturday and Sunday for which I used to be unable to make other engagements on weekend.
IGNOU does not provide any placement and sometimes distance learning create obstacles in the path of career. Delay in the announcement of result and assignment marks was one of the things I did not like about this university.

Course Curriculum Overview

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.

Class Size: 20Course Fees: INR 4000 per year

Fees and Financial Aid

As per my university, I can say that initially it took 4000 per year and provided all the study materials and online access. IGNOU does not provide any placement, which I think is a drawback of this university. It offers a scholarship to M.Phil and PhD students of 5000 and 8000 monthly, respectively.

Campus Life

All the study materials including books and journals were easily accessible online so I did not face any issues in accessibility. As per my knowledge it has student portals to help students and other than that I have not participated in any of the extra curriculum acivities as my study center did not organised any. Socialising was difficult as it was a distance education.

Admission

Taking admission in IGNOU is not so much difficult as there is no entrance test for admission. Students have to complete their higher secondary education in order to take admission in this university for graduation. Admission can be taken online and offline but the draft of 4000 rupees must be submitted in Bikash Bhawan for students of Kolkata. The exams held in June and December and students have the facility to choose which month they want to give the exam as per their preparation. The question papers are moderate to difficult in nature.

Faculty

All the mentors were highly experienced and proficient in teaching. The way they used to teach was easily understandable. They were easily approachable in the class to clear all the doubts of students. Some mentors shared their personal numbers so that students can easily reach out to them for help after the class. Contacting with some of the mentors was a little bit problematic

Delhi University from my Eyes

Course Curriculum Overview:

I have did my BA in the same course that's why I opted for this again in my MA. The curriculam was quiet good according to the previous syllabus. 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.

IGNOU (ODL)

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.

Mediocre College Experience - Shortfall of Administration

Course Curriculum Overview:

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!
