    I am absolutely dissatisfied with our college.
    Placements: I never suggest anyone be admitted to this college. The minimum salary package is 4 LPA and the maximum is 6 LPA. The website of this college is also updated very late, and we didn't get any information. When we asked our teachers, they said to visit the website.
    Infrastructure: The infrastructure is quite good, and the labs are fully equipped. The quality of food is average, and there is not a well-managed sports ground or games. Medical facilities are not good, and water is also not good.
    Faculty: Teachers are not helpful. They didn't know about the schedule. They didn't even update students from time to time. Semesters are difficult because teachers do not put any effort into students. Exams are of a high level. Faculty members are irresponsible and didn't give any information on time.
    Other: I chose this course because I am interested in learning about the human body, how it works, and the reasons behind it. They need to improve the practical experience of our course in this college.

    This is the best university for those preparing for competitive exams.
    Placements: This college is a distance learning education institution. It gives the qualification, degrees, diplomas to the candidates who pass and qualify for all exams conducted by IGNOU. But, it does not give assurance for placements. Some students get placements from IGNOU, but the majority of students join IGNOU just to get degree, diploma as a qualification and not for placements.
    Infrastructure: As IGNOU is a distance learning education institution, there are no hostels and regular classrooms. However, for practicals and examination and some other office works well-equipped facilities, and infrastructure is provided by IGNOU as per need i.e. during exams and practical exams.
    Faculty: There are no regular teachers in IGNOU but for resolving the doubts of students study centers are always available with well-experienced and qualified teachers. The study material provided by IGNOU is good that many UPSC aspirants take reference from it. Difficulty level at exams is moderate, and the passing percentage is 50-60% as it is an open university.
    Other: I opted for this bachelor of science BSCG course as science stream is higher secondary education. The best thing about this course is that students will get eligible for applying in most of the civil services exams post completion of this degree. Students do not need to attend college daily as IGNOU is a distance learning education institution, so they can focus better on competitive exams, and very few open universities offer B.Sc. degrees in India and IGNOU is one among them.

    Review of IGNOU - Indira Gandhi National Open University.
    Placements: Placements factor depends entirely on students' determination when it comes to B.Sc in Zoology. A learner becomes eligible to apply for many positions. Around 60-70% of students easily get an entry-level job after graduation from IGNOU given that the field is demanding.
    Infrastructure: There is best to experience in IGNOU, if students are passionate about exploring and having adventures. Sometimes the classes won't be held in the given room, and rather at a different room, other times students might have to go to Rajghat i.e. regional center to know the details of the current updated curriculum. Overall, it is a good college.
    Faculty: Teachers are helpful in solving doubts, and even giving some extra information as sometimes the student may feel a lack of service. Though students are not entitled to be taught, and their syllabus is given that it is an open learning university. But some teachers are generous that they will teach students, and take regular classes like any other full-time university course.
    Other: Everything is great from campus life, and especially there are no age criteria for learners. But there are some things which they can work on such as providing more regular updates.

    The college has really good infrastructure and facilities.
    Placements: In my course, 40% of students got placed. The highest package offered is 40,000 per month, and the lowest salary is 15,000 per month. 50 students got internships from different companies. The college provides certification courses and helps the students.
    Infrastructure: The college is very clean, and they are more concerned about hygiene. The college has good classrooms. Wi-Fi connectivity helps students to study. Science students have praticals in labs to gain more knowledge and study easily.
    Faculty: The teachers are very professional in their subjects. They clear the doubts of students and are very friendly. They teach us very kindly. The semester exams are easy if we study properly.
    Other: The campus environment is good.

    I am satisfied with the faculty and course curriculum. I am dissatisfied with the placements.
    Placements: Indira Gandhi National Open University is an open university, but it does not provide any placements in B.Sc. courses. Students need to look for internships or placements by themselves. But there are some courses like B.Sc, nursing, etc., where you can get internships in hospitals. There are some institutes or hospitals that only give an internship to IGNOU students.
    Infrastructure: IGNOU provides study centres. Facilities and infrastructure are different in every study centre. If you get study centres like DU or Jamia, then you will get canteen and medical facilities. In the B.Sc course, you have lab subjects too. All the study centres have great labs and classrooms. Our college does not provide hostels. Sports and games are not organised by the university.
    Faculty: All the faculty members in every study centre are helpful, qualified and knowledgeable. Keeping in mind that classes are conducted once a week, teachers give their best to delivers as much knowledge about the course as possible in that amount of time. The course curriculum is provided by the university only. The study materials that the university provide has in-depth knowledge about the course. If you thoroughly read everything from the study material, then you will surely score above 80% in the exams.
    Other: I have chosen this course because I wanted to pursue B.Sc. in Zoology for my graduation. I was also preparing for civil services side by side. I have chosen this course because IGNOU is the only open university that offers a B.Sc course and is recognised all over India. IGNOU does not organise any fests or events. Students organise some events on their own for some social gatherings. So, campus life is not so interesting here. The thing IGNOU should organise some extracurricular activities like events, fests, etc.
