Course Curriculum Overview

4

The curriculum is good , IGNOU books are very admirable , study material is quite apprehensive and easy to understand , once you get a grasp of it . They prepare you well They should use a easy language for the books . Normal

Fees and Financial Aid

If you opt for IGNOU , you may be trying to get a college that is Distance learning . It's the best for ODL ( online distance learning) Fees -: Rs 5500 for whole course with only online study material . Rs 8000 for whole course with offline study material ( IGNOU send hard copy books ) All the other courses has FEE around 5k to 10k for whole duration of course . As for Financial Aid IGNOU doesn't provide any scholarship as I believe But they do have option for EWS which would lesser your fees .

Campus Life

2.5

Yes , IGNOU should have more cultural programmes as it doesn't have many social activities and students mostly study from their home . They should hold a programme here and there monthly to kind of socialize students . It's distance learning so class doesn't matter but should have better buildings . No student run groups

Admission

I choosed this college as I couldn't attend classes regulary and I had to study at home . I chose this college as it had very nice ODL programme. It's the most recognisable University and is available in every state . Admission process is through applying online and you will get a confirmation mail . No I didn't get a rejection from other college.

Faculty

4

IGNOU doesn't necessarily need a good faculty to student ratio as it's a Distance college . Faculty is nice everywhere, you can approach them through email or contacting your regional centre . Faculties may take time to respond but they will accordingly. There is semester exam once a year normally but can be twice too depending on your course.

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.
