    3Placements3Infrastructure3Faculty1Crowd & Campus Life3Value for Money
    The college is good if your purpose is to join distance education.
    Placements: There is no such assurance of placement with IGNOU but there are many career options like that of Professor, Associate Professor and Assistant Professor. The best thing about the college is that I can pursue my graduation while I work full time. There is no such thing as internship provided by the campus, you will have to do everything on your own. The college will only provide you with the course and exam details, that's it.
    Infrastructure: I can't say much about the infrastructure because it's a distance learning thing and we need not visit the campus for anything. But I have visited the campus and they have lab, library and full Wi-Fi enabled campus. The campus also has a recreational area and a very good canteen.
    Faculty: I don't take classes but there are classes available on weekends and the fee can also be paid online via logging into the portals and uploading all the documents along with the online fee. The exams are difficult if you do not study, but it’s not like you will have to study everyday to get good marks. You can score about 70% by just studying at the time of the exams.
    Other: I chose this course because this will add a value to my current job and it's easy to pursue it from here with a full time job. The course can be more helpful if they provide us with the study material. There is no such thing as campus life or events here as we do not go to the campus.

    I'm satisfied with the college.
    Placements: Almost 800 students in the same course didn't get an internship. Our campus, due to COVID-19, didn't get in touch with the companies. In the BBARL programme, we learn about retail management, communication skills, and customer handling.
    Infrastructure: Our college didn't provide regular classes or a classroom. There is no library at all, and also I didn't get any kind of online or offline class. Some of the study centres and regional centres they had, I don't have enough knowledge about them, and when I visit our regional centre, the staff are not helpful to me.
    Faculty: I don't know about the teachers because I still haven't gotten in touch with them, so I'm not aware. Our course is good because it's very relevant and most of the learning is in the retail industry. The semester exam is not so difficult because all questions are based on the syllabus and curriculum.
    Other: I chose this course because I love management studies and I'm passionate about learning about them.

    Review of IGNOU - Indira Gandhi National Open University.
    Placements: About 60% of students from our course get placed. The highest salary package offered is 2.5 LPA, and the lowest salary package offered is 1 LPA. Top MNCs like Reliance, Tata Group, Infosys, etc., visit our college to hire students from our course. About 60% of students from our course got an internship. Roles like sales and marketing executive are offered in our course.
    Infrastructure: I do not live in a hostel. I visit the college through my home. The canteen is available, and the food served is not much good enough. I want to complete my MBA with regular college so I can enjoy my college life!. Recently IGNOU is not a regular college, and it is an open university.
    Faculty: Faculty members teaching is good. Teachers and professors are well-qualified. The course curriculum is relevant, and it makes students industry-ready. Semester exams are so much difficult. I think about 70% of students can pass the exams only.
    Other: I want to know to learn more about business and marketing. I want to set up my own business or startup, so I have chosen this course, and after that, I will complete my MBA. There are great surroundings in our college. Overall, our college is the best.
