Course Curriculum Overview

4

The course curriculum is quite detailed for every kind of students to understand. There's enough study materials and assistance by the faculty provided to gain knowledge. The curriculum has a vast pit of knowledge I can use in the real world, since it's psychology subject, it's usable in daily activities, and management of my work life too. It's also helpful to manage my clients too. The curriculum can add some on site practical sessions too to get more experience. The frequency of exams is once a year with practicals, which is very compatible. The difficulty of questions are also balanced, so that each student can compete in the exams and answer by confidence.

Fees and Financial Aid

IGNOU provides affordable courses compatible with all kind of economical status students. They also provide scholarship based on the merits and needs of the students. The OBC/SC/SC based students can also apply for scholarship accordingly. My program fees was 5200 rupees only, including 200 rupees as development feesand 300 rupees as registration fees. Students can apply for scholarship on the official website respectively. IGNOU does not provide any kind of on campus placement since it's a distance education based University.

Campus Life

2.5

Jesus and Mary college is appointed to my as my study centre. It's quite spacious with enlarged classroom, and practical areas too. Since IGNOU is a distance education based University, we are not provided any library facilities by the college, there's also no club and festival activities for the students.

Admission

IGNOU is the best university for me to graduate, since I am also doing freelancing buisness also. It provides me efficient facilities to balance my education. The eligibility to get into IGNOU for undergraduate programs is to qualify 12th class or equivalent. I did all the application process online, and got my books by post, one can also opt for online books.All of the study materials are also available online on the official website. The frequency of exams are once a year, which is very compatible for me to manage my work and education. There are some limitations too, the admission date and the joining of classes date is too prolonged. Students waited months to know when the classes will start and other official announcement.

Course Curriculum Overview:

The BA English Honours curriculum at DU SOL is relevant and provides a strong foundation in literature and language. The course covers diverse topics that support academic learning and critical thinking. The flexible structure is suitable for distance-learning students. Adding more practical activities, updated study materials, and interactive learning opportunities could further improve the overall course experience.

As a future law student philosophy was one of the options which was good to opt. Secondly, comparatively less people opt it and it can be one of the better choices if you are preparing for upsc and taking it as an optional. Teaching can be made more interactive as the topics are really interesting

Remarks:

Positive : the faculties are good and I could say our college is the meeting place of various cultures ranging from Kerala to jammukashmir Negative: the infrastructure is poor. Labs and libraries are not so good. And there are stray dogs who often steps into classes and make us afraid. College is not fully air conditioned but is on processing.
