    I am moderately satisfied with this college.
    Placements: Placements are not good in this college. Almost 70-80% of students got placed in this course. The highest salary package offered was 15 LPA. The lowest salary package offered was 8 LPA. Top recruiting company is IBM. Internships are not good in this course. Top roles offered are forecaster and journalism.
    Infrastructure: Facilities are average. Our college does not provide infrastructure but online resources are available. Mess, food quality, canteen, and medical facilities are not available as it is an open distance learning course.
    Faculty: Teachers are well-qualified, knowledgeable, and experienced. The course curriculum is relevant but does not make students ready for the industry. Semester exams are not difficult. The pass percentage is 99%. .
    Other: I chose this course because of my interest in it. This course helps students to understand day-to-day finance. Scholarships are provided to meritorious students.

    I like this university. I suggest this college for everyone who wants to complete under graduation.
    Placements: In B.A. (Hons.) in Economics, students generally require about 80-95% in the normal University, but in IGNOU, you are eligible for the course if you score 30% in your 12th standard. The highest salary offered is 2 lacs per month. The lowest salary offered is Rs. 12,000 per month.
    Infrastructure: IGNOU is an open learning university where you take admission in centers of IGNOU which are located all over India, and with your convince, you can take admission to the nearest centers of IGNOU from your home, PG and hostel. The facilities and infrastructure like Wi-Fi, labs, classroom, library, etc., provided depends on which center you select. If you select a popular college for the center, then you will get more facilities.
    Faculty: Teachers and their teaching quality are also based on the center of IGNOU. In IGNOU, they follow a credit-based system, and it is not that easy to pass in IGNOU exams. You have to complete your assignments and submit them on time. The pass percentage is 33% for the theory exams.
    Other: I have chosen this course because I have been interested in economics since my 10th standard. You have to study all about economics and the economy in this course.

    If financial condition is poor or need to prepare for a competitive exam, then is for you.
    Placements: Mostly non-science students apply in the course but it requires Maths in class 11th and 12th. As there are possibilities of placement only in top economics college. As in IGNOU university placement is not possible but here I tell you some of the roles offered in the course. 1. Economist, 2. Data Analyst, 3. Investment analyst, 4. Financial planner, 5. Acountant.
    Infrastructure: As it is an open university, there is no such facilities available like canteen wi-fi labs, library, and accommodation things. You have to study from home by yourself but in top universities like DU, JNU, probably all the things available and at affordable rates.
    Faculty: There is no teacher support given which can help you. All the things you have to do by yourself. There are medium-level exams conducted by IGNOU but there is super strict checking which gives you fewer marks. No course can make you industry-ready you have to prepare yourself, focus on learning skills.
    Other: In open university, there is no events, extracurricular activities conducted. I have to prepare for competitive exams, that's why I chose this college.
