IGNOU M.A. Psychology Review.
Placements: As it was a correspondence course, it focused rather more on Practical Development of the students. Some support for placements would be appreciated but the overall engagement of student towards the course is good. There is no such top role offered from this course.
Infrastructure: Infrastructure of the Maidan Garhi Campus is good. Every facility is provided and respective departments are easily accessible. Campus is green, and cafeteria is available. It is spread across a large area. As it is an open university so I'm not really certain about the Hostels.
Faculty: The faculty of this university is also appreciable. They ensure utmost involvement of students, and try their best to share the knowledge. They clear each and every doubt, and gives trips and ticks to crack the exams. The pass percentage is around 70-80%
Other: None.

Review of Centre for Online Education.
Placements: Some top recruiting companies were Dell, Infosys, Tally ERP, and other MNCs. Most companies prefer to recruit students from this college because of their knowledge and skills.
Infrastructure: Our college had the best library. There were excellent and clean classrooms and labs. A hostel was not available in our college. The quality and taste of the food served in the mess and canteen were good. Medical facilities and sports clubs were good. Our college provided good study environment.
Faculty: Teachers in our college were helpful. The course curriculum was relevant and it made students job ready. End-semester and annual exams were tough.
Other: I chose this course because of my interest in it. Many non-academic events are not organised in our college.

I miss my college life.
Placements: Around 80-90% of students get placed every year. All the reputed companies come for placements. The percentage of students who pass out is around 95%. The lowest package offered is 15,000 per month, and the highest package is 30,000 per month. I am missing my college life due to lockdown.
Infrastructure: All the facilities useful for students and teachers are provided. The faculty are very helpful. The food provided is very hygienic. All the sports activities are conducted here.
Faculty: Teachers are very helpful in doing our projects and fieldwork. The teachers are good. In semester exams, the pass percentage is 60%. The course I took makes students ready to work in the private or government sector.
Other: I chose this course because I am very down to earth towards village lifestyle, infrastructure, and accommodation.
