Master of Commerce (M.Com.) (MCOMOL) - Batch of 2023

Offered by Centre for Online Education, IGNOU

5Placements5Faculty5Value for Money

The classes are clean with big windows providing good ventilation.

Learning Experience: Everyone will get placement based on the knowledge and how they used to prepare what they have to taught so placement is completely on their self preparations they provide the support but we have to prepare and we have to select for that interview that is important and placement provided by that college

Placements: From 7th semester students become eligible for campus placements. Infosys, zscalar ,TCS and many more companies visits. Highest package is - 15- 20 lakhs . 70% of students get placements from our college.

Faculty: The faculties approach each and every student in the class and clarify their doubts with more patience. And sometimes, they explain twice or thrice on the students requests. They also explain topics using projector. And conducts tests in every week.

Course Support: Course I am pursuing is hard . Not that much hard but it is hard to understand some many different programming languages. If you can take that much pressure so go for it . There is a improvement that 1 programming languages should take for 1 yr for better understanding and learning.

Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) - Batch of 2024

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.

Placements: Placement is not the key here they help with it but practically speaking this degree is for people who area already working and want degree to qualify for top roles and examination.

Faculty: As this is Oen learning education means distance you've to do self study but the staffs at study centre is helpfull they help a lot and shwet sir, which is been introduced us through induction is super supportive he supports every time.

Review of Indira Gandhi National Open University.

Placements: It is an open university so you can get any placement here. So I would recommend that if someone wants to live a college life, they should opt for a regular college, not this one. Because here, you won't experience anything. And classes are not good as well. It is not worth it.

Infrastructure: My study centre was Ramanujan in my first year, so it was good in terms of infrastructure, canteen and others, but I don't know about hostels as I am not from a regular college. But I think there are no hostels because I did not see any there and buildings are being constructed.

Faculty: Teachers are good and one of them was a Ph.D. holder but one thing that I hate is that of the five, only 2 used to attend classes and if I talk about a course, then it is good and to the point. There is nothing extra. And exams are easy if you study PYQs and you also get marks on assignments, so it is not that difficult to pass.

Other: As it is a university, you don't get to experience real college life, so I would suggest you opt for regular college because here you just give exams and that's it. You have classes on weekends in the last 3 months before exams. I chose this because I wanted to work as cabin crew but if you don't want to work, don't choose open university.
