    I am satisfied with my college having helpful teachers and good facilities.
    Placements: Ignou is an open University. There are no placements from Ignou but if your study center is good, then your teachers will help you to get placements. If you have technical skills, you can get placed in a company and you will have a lot of time to work on your skills.
    Infrastructure: My study center is good and In classroom AC is available, Wi-Fi, computer, etc. Canteen also available but if you have money to purchase a food and there is badminton field and In my college there is BGMI torunamnet or free fire tournament also played.
    Faculty: The teachers are so helpful in my college, they are friendly and their teaching quality is good. In BCA, the exams are hard but not too hard, if you study, you can get good marks. The passing percentage is 40 out of 100 and there are semester wise papers conducted having different marks for each paper.
    Other: Best thing is the college saves your time in comparison to the regular colleges. If you’re doing BCA from Ignou, you will grow your skills and have enough time to work on the skills. You can also do some other courses in hacking because you have lots of time to prepare everything.

    Personal review of IGNOU college.
    Placements: As it is an open University, you will not get any placements. You should do some other things side by side to get placed here. You should come here just to do get a degree. No internships are provided in the college. I joined this college due to the less fee structure and because I only wanted a graduation degree.
    Infrastructure: I joined the course of Bachelor’s in Computer Applications. The classes are set up on weekends in which you can go to the labs for practicals in your respective study centres allotted to you. There is no library provided. There is no hostel facility as it is an open University.
    Faculty: The faculty is not good as they think that as it is an open college, they don't need to teach and the students will study on their own. The course will not make you industry ready as the main focus is to get a degree and not placements. The exams are not tough but the checking of the exams is strict.

    Good faculty and study material but bad placement .
    Placements: There is no campus placement available; students need to proactively seek internships and part-time jobs to gain practical experience and make professional connections. However, students can secure placements off-campus, and many have been selected in this manner.
    Infrastructure: As hostels aren't available due to it being an open university, the labs and library provided are of high quality. The condition of computer systems is excellent. The classrooms are modern, equipped with smart boards, offering a great learning experience for education.
    Faculty: Teachers are helpful, qualified, and knowledgeable; they teach us well. The course curriculum is relevant and industry-ready. Semester exams are not too difficult; the pass percentage is 40%. Exams are held in two sessions in a year, and assignments are also given.
    Other: I chose this course because it is interesting and offers future security. The best aspect of this course is its instruction in programming languages. Regular classes will be more helpful.
