    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.

    Faculty members are very good, but the college doesn't offer any placement opportunities.
    Placements: The college doesn't provide any placement opportunities. However, many companies organise job fairs to check professional skills, personality, and knowledge of students. If you are good at all these aspects, then you will get a placement in the job fair.
    Infrastructure: The infrastructure of the college is good. Wi-Fi facilities are not available on the campus. However, labs, classrooms, medical facilities and libraries are pretty good. No outdoor activities are organised here as there is no space for outdoor activities like sports and games. Quality of labs and classrooms is nice. There is a good environment available for studies. Food is not provided in the canteen. Hostel facilities are not available here.
    Faculty: Faculty members in the college are caring. The course curriculum is nice. My teaching experience at this college was nice. They are very helpful, qualified, and knowledgeable. The teaching standards of our teachers are very nice. Both practical and theoretical teaching methods are used here. The student of faculty ratio is 20:1 or 30:1.
    Other: Events are not conducted in the institute. However, some activities are conducted for improving students' personality and communication skills. The campus crowd is okay. The connectivity is very nice as the metro bus stop are near. Scholarships are also provided by the university.

    Good platform to pursue additional degree programme.
    Placements: I didn't participate in any placement drives. But my friends told me that there are lots of companies visiting the campus such as Genpact, Larsen and Toubro, IGT, American Express, Concentrix and many others. Since I want to pursue my veterinary degree in Germany, I did my B.A. here to get a degree and knowledge.
    Infrastructure: The infrastructure of the college is good. The campus is huge with proper facilities like a canteen, help desk and offices. I really like the availability of the different sections for all doubts and problem of students and teachers. Hostel rooms are spacious and clean.
    Faculty: Teachers are very cooperative and helpful here. They have proper knowledge, and they always help all the students. They even provide weekend or after-class guidance to students for better understanding and clearance of doubts. Teachers take proper care of completing the syllabus on time.
    Other: Almost 80% of the students in Delhi choose IGNOU for further studies. The scholarship programme is also very good and is totally based on the students' capabilities.
