IGNOU, B.Com (Finance & Accounts)

Reviewed on Nov 26, 2015

Remarks

Yes only one bad remark i.e. it is very difficult to coordinate with IGNOU faculty to get a degree certificate after the course. I have still not received my degree and dont know where it is lying.

Entrance Preview

I did not take any entrance exam as our institute i.e. Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) had a tie up with IGNOU. I opted for this course as it was a correspondence course and I could focus on my ICAI internship.

Course Curriculum Overview

Course curriculum is satisfactory. It mainly does not focus on B.com curriculum. It has some subjects from Basic science field as well which does not match with curriculum.

Internships Opportunities

My course did not have any criteria of internship so this paragraph is not applicable to my course. As far as other courses like MBA are concerned, they had the criteria of internship.

Placement Experience

2.5

Frankly speaking, the course which I opted for was correspondence and generally correspondence courses do not help with job opportunities. The companies prefer students of full time courses and not part time and correspondence courses. That is the reason students go for the correspondence courses as they get time to focus on other studies.

College Events

2.5

I didn't attend the college so I do not have much idea about the events which take place in the college. To the best of my knowledge, I think IGNOU only offers correspondence courses so I do not think they might be conducting much events.

Fee Structure And Facilities

The fee structure is minimal and affordable as well as it is a correspondence course. The IGNOU anyway charges very less for other courses as well. So I think any student can afford any of the courses.

Fees and Financial Aid

I did not get any scholarship from IGNOU as ICAI had a tie up with IGNOU so that itself was a concession offered to students. Other than that, I think their fees is very reasonable and affordable to they generally do not offer scholarships to students.

Campus Life

2.5

I do not have idea about campus life and extracurricular, labs, sports, etc as this university majorly offers correspondence courses and there are students from all over the country so they generally do not offer a good typical campus life and extracurricular activities.

Hostel Facilities

2.5

I do not have idea about hostel facilities and mess food as my course was a correspondence one. As I mentioned IGNOU offers correspondence courses only, I do not think they provide hostel and mess facilities.

External Expense: Rs.2000 - Rs.4000

Alumni/Alumna

I did not interact with any of the seniors as I used to just go for exams to my college in Aurangabad. So we did not get a chance to interact with seniors or so.

Exam Structure

The Exam structure is different for students. If you are also a student of ICAI then the exam structure is easier. Otherwise for normal students it is slightly different and has more subjects. The students of ICAI had lesser number of subjects.. We had ex

Faculty

2.5

I didn't attend the college so I do not have much idea about the faculty. I coordinated with the faculty of my local college where exams used to happen. The IGNOU conducts exams in most of the cities so there is no much problem faced by students.

Life at South Campus

Likes

The crowd at venky is great, diverse crowd.
The campus is well maintained and is one of the bests at DU.
Opportunities provided to students are great

Dislikes

The attendance policy is a little strict for 1st and 2nd year

Course Curriculum Overview:

The course provides a comprehensive image of finance and management, though after NEP, the curriculum seems a little irrelevent. The exams are conducted twice in a year, 2 sems per year, they conduct mid sem exams as well.

6th sem is the first time college placement are proceeded . Companies are not impressive and mostly are entry level jobs such as cold calling and such which they offer. Highest package was 4 lpa and avg was 2.5 only. Around 60 percent students gets placed.

They procides recording that was very usefull when we will not attend the live class

Since the classes are in online and also there are some techical issues while taking classes that will interupt classes
placement support is limited in online classes so students need to search for internships and job oppertunities on their own
Its deffecult to connect student coordinators while we wnat exam timetable etc they are too slow

Course Curriculum Overview:

I choose BCOM because the want to take ACCA after BCOM it will helps to improve my career and give a better job and also BCOM is the basices of ACCA like law, financial managment, taxation etc .The curriculam provide strong fountation for students who wamts to pursue higher studies such as M.COM , MBA and professuonal couses.

Ignou: Flexibility And Disappointment

I had also applied in DU for B.Sc. (Hons) Statistics but the cutoffs were very high and only a few top colleges offered that course. DU SOL also did not provide B.Sc. courses at that time, so I finally chose IGNOU. The admission process is fully online through the IGNOU website. You need to sign in, upload your Class 10 and 12 marksheets, Aadhaar or other supporting documents, fill personal details, and pay the course fee. For most courses you just need to pass Class 12, but for some courses there is a percentage requirement or specific subjects needed to study in class 12 like in my case maths. My overall admission experience was okay, but the approval process took a long time. In my case, it took almost 3 months to finally get the confirmation of admission....Read More
