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.
