Remarks

The best part of the university is that it is a open university so students can study while doing their jobs. The negative thing about university is that it has a some complicated rules in which most of the students get troubled. So for that watch videos before taking admission.

Course Curriculum Overview

3

It's good. Means IGNOU gives you chance to select subjects of your own choice which make our way much easy. But some students got confused in it. So for that you have to read the COMMON PROSPECTUS of IGNOU. It is course guidance for students and helps a lot in understanding course curriculum.

Internships Opportunities

Yes it does provide internships. I am currently in 2nd year so I didn't face one. But the internships are not that great. Internships provided by regular universities are better than that one. So in terms of internship IGNOU is not that good.

Placement Experience

1

Yes it IGNOU started placement for their students from past 1year but like internship they are not that great. You can easily find jobs like,that are provided by IGNOU. After all it is a distance learning university.

College Events

0.5

It is a open university so there very least events that are celebrated here. Convention is the only that happens every year. But students can attend fest of their study centre by the proof of their identity card and enjoy it.

Fee Structure And Facilities

The fee structure is very feasible. Which is the one of the reason why every year lots of students took admission in the university. For example For Bsc Hons it's 13,500 which is 4,500 per annum(very feasible).

Fees and Financial Aid

Yes IGNOU provides scholarships but not for every one. They are only for SC, st , OBC and for only girls child. In which 50% of seats are for girls. There is no fix date or time for applying for scholarships you can apply throughout the year.

Campus Life

4

Again, it is a open university. So there is no extracurricular activities , sports etc here. For LAB lab sessions are done by different study centres. You have to registration on your regional centre before attending lab classes.

Hostel Facilities

2

As it provides you distance learning so students don't need to live in a hostels. Talking about infrastructure is very good all. The main college , regional centres , and any other official of the university are constructed very well.

Alumni/Alumna

Ya some how senior students are quite helpful on how to select subject, how to prepare for exams and how to prepare projects ,etc. They give you proper guidance. So every student must have contact of any senior one.

Exam Structure

Exam structure is very good here. Students can select exam centres according to their convinent. You can give exam twice a year either in June or in December. You have to fill the exam form before 2 months of exam period.

Admission

The admission procedure is very simple. Everything is online. So you just have to fill up your form online and pay your fees. Sometimes students got some doubts regarding selecting there subjects ( IGNOU gives you freedom of choosing subject) and selecting there regional centre , for that you can watch videos on YouTube.

Faculty

2.5

It's depends. Like some of the regional centre and study centres have very good faculty members and some of them have lazy one also. Of course IGNOU is a huge university so every can't be good or can't be bad.

Course Curriculum Overview:

Life science includes zoology botany and chemistry considering this combo I think the study material is quite okay in terms of topics chemistry connects school teaching with one step ahead learning . Zoology provides new insights on various topics . Botany covers deeper understanding of syllabus . So overall it's good . Hands on lab work meets the demand of the subject . Also the topics taught match with the type of questions asked in exam. Difficulty level i would say it's moderate for botany and zoology but for chemistry is quite tough. Time management is a much needed skill for examination purpose. For course curriculum i would say more focus on current situation should be laid rather than history .

Placement Experience:

The students become eligible for campus placements in the 3rd year of their graduation. Various companies offer multiple roles for placements on our campus like Nation With NaMo, Deloitte, KPMG, Accenture etc. and the no. of offers made usually varies between 250-400 depending on the batch. The average package is around 6.5-7 LPA and the highest usually varies from 13-15 LPA L. Usually 50 percent of the students get placed directly from campus and rest usually pursue some other academic programs or even off campus placements.

Course Curriculum Overview:

I think that the course curriculum is good and well managed . The curriculum has all necessary subjects related to our course as well as all other necessary subjects like human values and basic ethics. I find our course curriculum is apt for our course . Thought their is a lag for more practical learning and skills. It will be better if they add more practical learning.

Remarks:

Good Remark: The college environment made it possible for me to have great friends and be the person who I have become. The teachers and facilities of well-equipped labs, guest lectures, events, library, etc. made it possible for us to have a great campus life. Bad Remark: The college management needs to update the library norms that they have (which made it difficult for us to have books for the weekend to study) and also need to provide students with better placement opportunities from the same field as the specializations.
