I will suggest to not go for this college.
Placements: The college does not provide placements. The college is not responsible for placements of students. It is an open learning institute. You can take subjects according to your desires. So don't think about placement here. It is just a time wastage. It is better to study at home.
Infrastructure: IGNOU allotted me Deshbandhu college. Infrastructure of the college is so good. It is above average. Desks are nice and comfortable. Rooms are completely air conditioned. So you have to just enjoy the infrastructure. There is no hostel here.
Faculty: The faculty are so good. They are very supportive and genuine. They are educated from top class universities like Oxford, and MIT. They host our classes. They are so helpful.

I am satisfied with its faculty members but not satisfied with examiners.
Placements: From our batch, most of the students are joined MNC. Most of the students find their jobs, and most of the students join coding classes. They get placements from that coaching and many times IGNOU offered placements but I do not attend any placements seminar because I love Java programming that is not related to me when they offered me jobs.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure is good in this college. The computer class is great because all the computers are in running state and in every system have every coding software they run very smoothly. The environment of our classroom is very good, and our class is fully air-conditioned.
Faculty: Faculty members are great in this college. All of the teachers are helpful and they always help with any complex question. Our course is demanded in the IT industry, because everything is digitalized now. But our exam system is stuff and maximum passing students want 40, but it is not easy.
Other: I opted for this course, because I love programming and coding.

Students can choose this college for better knowledge with low fee structure.
Placements: IGNOU had its own campus placements center, located at its New Delhi headquarter office. The role for placements depends on the experience and for the level of students were suitable. The college provides the best, rest depends on the performance of the students. Odisha trains the final year students for the campus drive. They teach students about how to attend the interview and how to clear the aptitude test. Top companies like TCS, Wipro, HCL, Infosys, etc., visit for campus placements.
Infrastructure: The government had made a heavy investment into developing the acres of the campus of IGNOU, to facilitate modern education. This university had every possible facility which could be accessed on the campus itself. Laboratories and classrooms were available with good infrastructure. The environment of classrooms were also good. The classroom had good Wi-Fi connectivity.
Faculty: Faculty members were knowledgeable about their subjects. I like the teaching quality because they always give practice examples. The course curriculum was relevant, and it makes students industry-ready. In one line IGNOU had very knowledgeable faculty members. The exams were average and around 70% of students for success in their exam.

Indira Gandhi National open University is good for those who are willing to learn by yourself .
Placements: After completing master in computer applications from Indira Gandhi National Open University I got 65 percentage then after I had applied in many companies, although they didn't provide any proper placement as its a distance learning but even after that I am able to achieve one.
Infrastructure: Infrastructure of the Indira Gandhi National open University is not so very good although its an distance learning some of the examples of bad infrastructure are books delivery usually books material delivered to us even after our exams or sometimes when exams are on going.
Faculty: In Indira Gandhi National open University teachers are very helpful and qualified some of the professors are very knowledgeable they almost every time support us Always told us how to learn how to implement things that's even after as its an distance learning.

I am absolutely dissatisfied with the way of providing marks in examinations.
Placements: There are no placements for BCA and MCA students in IGNOU. Whenever I see the notice, I get to know that companies hire only B.Com and M.Com students. I have not seen any student got hired as an intern from BCA or MCA in the last 5 years.
Infrastructure: As it is an open learning university, there are only study centres which are fine but not much good. The infrastructure is not much good here. As we need to do coding, but all the computers are of very old specifications in the computer lab.
Faculty: In MCA, a single faculty member teaches us 2-3 different subjects. That teacher can't even teach us one subject efficiently. So, we need to take coaching from other sources. Some study centres provide paid coaching, but the teachers were the same.
Other: The way of providing marks in an examination is the worst I have ever seen. If you wrote for 80 marks out of 100 marks in an exam, they would give you only 30-33 marks, but passing marks are 40. When you opt for revaluation by paying Rs. 700 for every subject, then they increase the marks to above 40.

I'm absolutely satisfied with teaching faculty members, campus surroundings and also classrooms.
Placements: Students who have an academic percentage of 60% to 80% were placed from our course. The highest salary package offered by the companies was 3 LPA, and the lowest salary package offered was 1 LPA. The average salary package offered was 2.50 LPA. One of my classmates who has 70% of marks got an internship in a reputed company. Top roles offered here were trainees, executives, etc.
Infrastructure: Facilities provided in our college were very good. The infrastructure was also amazing and good for study because it was an open school. Labs were available to gain practical knowledge. Classrooms were huge and clean, but there were no canteen and medical facilities. There were no sports and games.
Faculty: The teachers here were very helpful, qualified and knowledgeable to teach us. Their teaching quality was very good. The course curriculum was very relevant, and it makes students industry-ready and is very useful for future jobs.
Other: I have already joined the job and simultaneously wanted to complete my master's, so I enrolled in this course. I think our college should improve regular classes and teaching facilities. There were no events and fests.
