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.
