Likes
- The fee structure is quite economical. When I compare it with other universities, it is relatively very low. It can be opted for by almost everybody, especially for students who can barely afford to do basic education after class12th, it is a boon.
- The assignments are submitted for two semesters together and the exams are also, done for two semesters together. Also, if you miss giving exam in the respective month , there is also an option to give reappear for the exam in the next term , genius.
- The second thing I liked is the online classes that they provide without any hindrances. The online classes clear all sorts of doubts related to the studies and the environment created is very student friendly, students can clear their doubts easily.
Dislikes
- The exam schedule is quite irrational sometimes, it coincides with other competitive exams which is why students have to skip this exam and wait to appear for them in next term . Thus , they have to get their facts right while preparing the schedule.
- The study centres that work with IGNOU need to be prepared. Some study centres are way too far and the teachers in charge throw tantrums while invigilating the exam
- The invigilators in exam are quite annoying sometimes, they will ask for the copies 10 minutes before exam which is certainly very disturbing and distracting at the same time. The student can neither debate because the last few minutes are important.
Course Curriculum Overview
The curriculum of IGNOU is quite simple. It is basically what the students have already studied in school. It bestows the students with knowledge that will be applicable in the practical world.It prepares them with the skills to apply in the practical world. As for the exams,they happen once every year and in case the student misses to give an exam in one term, such student can give the exam in next term.I believe that there are no such areas for improvement in the teaching domain. The teachers are very supportive and they are very knowledgeable because they not only prepared the students for what is to come in the exam but they also prepare the students for the real world applications.The books are also provided to the students really before the examination so the students have ample of time to prepare for the examination and the curriculum is very simple.If the student is a little bit hard working he can top the examination with flying colours. In all, IGNOU is the so far, the best.
Fees and Financial Aid
One of the reasons to opt for Indira Gandhi National open University is the economical fee structure . The fee structure as compared to the other universities is exceptionally nominal and it provides quality education in such nominal fee structure. For example ,the overall fees for 1 year ,if anybody is doing B.Com is Rupees. 5000 , including the tuition fees, the service fees and including everything. There are no such scholarships available because the fee structure is already so nominal and economical. Since , I am doing B.Com I do not know anything regarding campus employment. However , there might be some options available for other courses but certainly not for b.com. Apart from the regular fee structure , there is a nominal amount that you have to pay while filling out the examination form . For example , rupees 1600 that is rupees 200 per subject and there are like two semesters that you are appearing for in the examination then eight subjects it is that makes it rupees 1600.
Campus Life
Indira Gandhi National open University is usually opted by students who want to do distance learning. So, there are no such annual and technical festivals that are celebrated in the college, there are no greet and meets , no parties , no fresher parties , nothing at all .It is all about studying and doing it at the ease of your home, alongwith other courses that the student has been pursuing.The facilities and technological provisions in the classroom are quite brilliant.There are no sports or extra curricular activities taking place on the campus because we do not visit the campus like it's a distance learning course that is why you cannot have any physical or in person interaction with the teachers or any of the students in the college.There are study groups that are created by the teachers on whatsapp and the online class links and all such necessary information will be shared on that group. It's quite helpful, everything that a student needs , it will be made available at one stop

Faculty
There are a lot of students who opt for IGNOU because of its lucrative fee structure and zero time management issues. The teachers are also very supportive. They also give personal phone numbers when there is interaction in online classes, in case the students have any doubts . Thus, we can say that the teachers are quite approachable and easy to communicate with because they understand the students very well. The faculty members are also very supportive. There was this one time , when I got late to submit my assignment by five minutes and I was scared that they might turn down my assignments but to my surprise the authorities welcomed me warmly , I mean they did ask me to be on time the next time but they were very supportive. It is not like that they support you in your wrongs but they understand if something is going on with us . They create a very personal environment, for the students to open up and clarify all they want to.Thus,one can say that IGNOU definitely has the best one's

I did not opt for lucknow university because of the fee structure . It was quite high plus it also demanded more of my time and given the fact that I'm a C.A. student, I can barely make my ends meet in time management. Thus, for me, IGNOU is one of the be
