Remarks

The best part of the university is that it is a open university so students can study while doing their jobs. The negative thing about university is that it has a some complicated rules in which most of the students get troubled. So for that watch videos before taking admission.

Course Curriculum Overview

3

It's good. Means IGNOU gives you chance to select subjects of your own choice which make our way much easy. But some students got confused in it. So for that you have to read the COMMON PROSPECTUS of IGNOU. It is course guidance for students and helps a lot in understanding course curriculum.

Internships Opportunities

Yes it does provide internships. I am currently in 2nd year so I didn't face one. But the internships are not that great. Internships provided by regular universities are better than that one. So in terms of internship IGNOU is not that good.

Placement Experience

1

Yes it IGNOU started placement for their students from past 1year but like internship they are not that great. You can easily find jobs like,that are provided by IGNOU. After all it is a distance learning university.

College Events

0.5

It is a open university so there very least events that are celebrated here. Convention is the only that happens every year. But students can attend fest of their study centre by the proof of their identity card and enjoy it.

Fee Structure And Facilities

The fee structure is very feasible. Which is the one of the reason why every year lots of students took admission in the university. For example For Bsc Hons it's 13,500 which is 4,500 per annum(very feasible).

Fees and Financial Aid

Yes IGNOU provides scholarships but not for every one. They are only for SC, st , OBC and for only girls child. In which 50% of seats are for girls. There is no fix date or time for applying for scholarships you can apply throughout the year.

Campus Life

4

Again, it is a open university. So there is no extracurricular activities , sports etc here. For LAB lab sessions are done by different study centres. You have to registration on your regional centre before attending lab classes.

Hostel Facilities

2

As it provides you distance learning so students don't need to live in a hostels. Talking about infrastructure is very good all. The main college , regional centres , and any other official of the university are constructed very well.

Alumni/Alumna

Ya some how senior students are quite helpful on how to select subject, how to prepare for exams and how to prepare projects ,etc. They give you proper guidance. So every student must have contact of any senior one.

Exam Structure

Exam structure is very good here. Students can select exam centres according to their convinent. You can give exam twice a year either in June or in December. You have to fill the exam form before 2 months of exam period.

Admission

The admission procedure is very simple. Everything is online. So you just have to fill up your form online and pay your fees. Sometimes students got some doubts regarding selecting there subjects ( IGNOU gives you freedom of choosing subject) and selecting there regional centre , for that you can watch videos on YouTube.

Faculty

2.5

It's depends. Like some of the regional centre and study centres have very good faculty members and some of them have lazy one also. Of course IGNOU is a huge university so every can't be good or can't be bad.

Course Curriculum Overview:

The curriculum consists of relatable topics and interesting ones as well this is what quite influenced me to take this course. We have labs which help us learn how to prepare various organic compounds which are used in many day to day products . The course also has a 4th year research program. There should be more equipments in lab for the research. The frequency is good for exams being conducted and there level is also quite good

Placement Experience:

The students become eligible for the placements provided by the college in their 3rd year, while they can pursue internship offered by the college in previous years. Average sized companies visited the campus with lots of students being placed for jobs. The highest package I am not aware of but lowest was of around 300000 pa. I plan to pursue masters after my graduation degree.

Students become eligible for campus placements from the 6th semester. I don't know a lot about campus placements but I know that there is a training and placement cell in our college that provides good packages to many students. Some students got more than 7lpa last year. I will be doing my Post graduation after college and will make a career in academics.
