Course Curriculum Overview

3

I wanted to pursue this course as i wanted a background in accounting and finance , BCOM is the perfect course offered by IGNOU . This curriculum is the basic requirement for any job related to finance sector Irrelevant subjects like EVS and value education are not really needed in this curriculum The frequency of exams is only once a year and which is at a quite moderate level .

Fees and Financial Aid

The yearly fees of Indira Gandhi National Open University is just 5000/- rupees for Bachelors in Commerce (BCOM) . There is no caution fees as the whole course is ODL (Open Distance Learning) Scholarship for the tution fees is also available for students which is based on their merit performance . The fees is extremely affordable and ideal for those students who are pursuing professional courses like Chartered Accountancy .

Campus Life

1

There are no festivals as the whole college is a platform for online / distance learning . The study material is sent to the students by post and it is also available online on IGNOU's official website . Each student is provided with their own username and password for regular updates and re- registration As there is no campus life , sadly there is no sports and extracurricular activties offered. There is no way for a student to actually socialise with their collegemates , which i believe is an essential part of college life but it's okay as everyone chooses IGNOU for their online learning /distance learning platform.

Admission

I did not apply to any other colleges as IGNOU was the perfect choice for my career ahead The admission process of this college is very simple and there is no eligibility criteria for admission , but scholarships can be availed on the basis of the merit of the students .

Faculty

5

The whole course is Open Distance Learning so the students don't interact with the faculty but there are recorded lectures available which are great for exams. The faculty teaching in the lectures are quite experienced and their teaching skills are also great . The accounts faculty is the best . As such there is no dislike for any faculty . There is one term end exam for each semester and the exam level is moderate . The failing ratio of students is quite less as the exams aren't that tough . The course curriculum is quite relevant except a few subjects as being a BCOM student I don't think that I need to study Enviromental Studies as a subject and i consider it as totally irrelavant , except that everything else is fine

Night Life

1

There is absolutely no campus life for students and therfore no cafeterias,library, public area, gym etc. Students don't have to live in hostels as they can pursue their course from any city in india .

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.
