    Only go when you need an open college or distance education.
    Placements: There is no placement offer given here to the students. Its is not a regular university. They don't even have their own college. We have no any placement cell but I just happen to know that few courses are introduced recently in which students will have placement offers.
    Infrastructure: Management is very poor. We have to go to different colleges for practicals. They do not provide books on time. They even declare results very late. You have to choose a study centre where you will go for classes and practicals.
    Faculty: We have to study on our own. Classes are held every week. But from last 3 years they are providing online classes which are not worth it. People usually take admission for certification course since it is a distance school of learning but its certificate is valid everywhere.

    The best institute of India with better facilities. 10 million student trust on it.
    Placements: Around 30 - 40% of the students are placed in companies. But I think this is lesser than before as the record says. The highest salary package offered was 10 LPA, and the lowest salary package offered was 4 LPA. The average salary package offered was 5.5 LPA. The recruiting companies are Tata, Wipro, and Infosys. Almost 60% of the students get recurring.
    Infrastructure: The infrastructure of the college is brilliant because they have a very big library and free Wi-Fi. There are around 6-7 labs. The food served in the mess is more average than others but for sports, we have a big ground to play any game. We also have national-level teams.
    Faculty: Our teachers are very helpful, and they are highly qualified. They have good knowledge about the subjects. I like the teaching quality because they always give practical examples. The course curriculum is relevant, and it makes students industry-ready. The exams are average around 80% students clear their exams easily.
    Other: If you are looking for a cheap college with best facilities and faculty members. No one is better than IGNOU.

    I am not at all dissatisfied with it.
    Placements: About 50% of the students got an internship. The highest salary offered is Rs. 15,000 per month. In our course, the average salary package offered is up to 3 LPA.
    Infrastructure: The campus is huge, but the quality of food is not good. Quality of facilities in our hostel is very good, but the quality of food is not so good with canteen. The medical facility was not so good, but the sports facility is awesome in our hostel. Structure of the building is also very good.
    Faculty: The teaching method is very good. Teachers here are very helpful, qualified and well-knowledgeable to teach students. They are very good with every student and takes care of students.
    Other: I have chosen this course because it is good and everything is easy, which is the best thing about this course.
