Course Curriculum Overview

3

As i am working so i had to join distance study thats why i chose IGNOU. Curriculum ok but not that much updated. Based on totally self study that's what I can say.

Fees and Financial Aid

As we know Ignou is a renowned Board for distance study but i want to make it clear that it is totally based on self study as you will get only 2 or 3 online classes(though only in 1st year).and if you have practical paper then you will get 3-4 practical classes each year which is clearly not enough. so basically you need to study on your own like making notes, experiments, projects etc etc and some candidates has misconceptions regarding exam papers that its very easy to clear i want to make it clear that its not that easy. You need to study hard to clear papers and you only get 4 years to complete your degree. otherwise you need take readmission placement assistance.

Campus Life

3

As it is a open university there is no cultural program or alumni meet happens. every candidate is normally assigned with a study center (candidate can choose as per their location). you need to submit assignments their only.

Admission

Literally I dont have that much idea about private distance colleges that time And i heard about Ignou that its certificate is valid. If you want to take admission in ignou you need visit their website there are two admission session one is July and another is January. you have to fill application form then submit all required documents .pay the yearly fee and they will send you confirmation mail and classes link. Join whatsapp group of Students it would be helpful to get all the informations regarding assignment submission, exam dates.

Faculty

3

Faculties are not always available. may be in whatsapp group. But not like regular universities. I had only 2 classes over the meet in my 1st year thats all. no more classes except practical classes. Exam papers are relatively difficult. you need study hard not piece of cake i would say

Night Life

3

There is no such facility like gym and all. if you are looking for a happening college or university then its not for you i must say. its a open university. you will get study materials need to self study, submit assignment at study center , attend practical classes ,and seat for exam to a exam center thats all.

Course Curriculum Overview:

Doing master in political science was the obvious choice for me because I have done my graduation in political science and if you are talking about the academics pursuit in this field you can how to do PHD after Clearing your net exam but there will be no other Job opportunity you will get in this course. The only scope you have that you can prepare for upsc or other government exams. Otherwise, if you are from engineering background that is, you have done your graduation from engineering then definitely you should opt further in this field only.

Remarks:

There is an atmosphere in college that is very depressing. You feel stressed once you enter the campus of college. There are no extra curricular activities in college. Canteen of college is not upto the mark. Food menu is cheap but the quality of the food is bad.

Remarks:

This is one of the best institutions of India and I'm proud to be here But there are many things to be improved. Like the infrastructure to be updated and also new hostels should be constructed. Also the management is mostly reluctant towards students issues. We have to protest to get our rights here.
