MA English - Batch of 2024-01-01
Academics
one best thing about academics is that as it is a open university so we can study from our homes we can easily do self study if there is any doubt we can ask our teachers but one disadvantage i feel like we lack interacting with new people . notes they are very easy to understand and detailed .
College Infra
this college have good infrastructure with large campus as it it a open university so i dont need to attend the college regularly as they provide study material on online basis as i have completed my masters degree i have good review for this college proper facilty and availability of online study material .
Campus Life
i havent enjoyed my campus life as there are no classes no events or fest most of the students study from their home i have missed this experience
Placements
it don not provide campus placements but with this college degree we can apply for off campus placememt but getting placed all depend on yourself your communication skill your english fluency although we can also study for goverment exams and get more better jobs .
Value For Money

BA Hindi Major - Batch of 2023-01-01
Academics
I'm not fully aware of the academics at the college because it is an open university so classes take place only on certain days which I never attended but I have visited the campus for assignments and examinations and I found the staff to be okay.
College Infra
The infrastructure is good and the college is usually clean and gives peaceful vibes. As it is an open university, I used to go only for exams, assignments and for some important works. But overall infrastructure is quite good.
Placements
To be honest, Placements are zero at IGNOU. Do not join this college if you have any expectations of placement. Forget about placements, You will hardly get a job if you have your studies done from IGNOU. The open colleges are good only when you want to focus on any competitive exam or some other goal, You can get a graduation degree without attending classes regularly. But, An IGNOU degree alone is almost useless for getting a job.

Overall, I will not suggest this college to future youth.

Business Organisation and Management - Batch of 2028-01-01
Academics
The syllabus and curriculum are regularly updated and well maintained. The teaching staff is also very good and knowledgeable about their respective subjects. They provide quality education to scholars.
College Infra
The IGNOU campus is very huge. The campus has a well- furnished library, computer labs and online learning support. Online study materials also available including video lectures and they are accessible from anywhere.
Campus Life
Talking about campus life its very minimal in IGNOU as it is not a full- time college so no cultural fests are happening in the campus. Also, no scope for sports or extracurricular activities. It is good only for students who prefer working part time and studying.
Placements
There is no 100 percent or guaranteed placements in IGNOU because it is not a full- time college. Some students manage to get their jobs or placements on their own. They sometimes organise these programs for specific courses.
Value For Money
As IGNOU deals in distance, open learning and self- study so the value of money is relatively low. Almost full -time colleges make a good value for money they also do not provide placements so the value for investing money in such college is a waste.
