    You can easily get admission to this college.
    Placements: Around 60-70% of students got placed in our course. A few students also got selected for UPSC. The top recruiting companies are Tata and Reliance. Almost 55-65% of students got internships in this course. The top role offered is All India Radio manager.
    Infrastructure: Wi-Fi is not available. Laboratory is very good, and all necessary instruments are available. Classrooms are clean. All types of books are available in the library. You can borrow books by submitting relevant information.
    Faculty: Teachers are helpful, qualified, and knowledgeable. They teach us very well. If you have any doubts, you can ask them without any hesitation. They always help us with our problems in all aspects.
    Other: English is an easy language to understand so I chose this course. My writing is not that much good so I need to practice every day. The nomination is held twice every year.

    The easiest option for a degree without going and attending classes but by paying some money.
    Placements: It's an open university and thus less in Certificate value. If you simply need a degree then IGNOU is your option. The certificate is valued in India. Better not to try foreign countries with this university's degree.
    Infrastructure: There ain't a hostel under IGNOU. Classes happen monthly but students must reach the study centre when it's time.
    Faculty: Hard to pass even if you write the exam well. IGNOU never lets you pass just like that unless you fill a lot of its answer sheets pages, at least by writing any gibberish.
    Other: Nil.

    I am not satisfied because there is no online class and no exam update.
    Infrastructure: The infrastructure is good. Students are allowed to use all the facilities in this college like the canteen and ground. Corridors are clean and classrooms are having all the facilities for the students, and faculty members are also very helpful. In the canteen, any type of food is provided to the students.
    Faculty: Teachers are qualified and knowledgeable but due to lockdown, there are very few student-teacher interactions. The course curriculum is relevant, but it does not make students industry-ready, and a student has to learn skills to get jobs after doing the course.
    Other: I opted for this course, because of my interest in learning English subjects further and I want to make my career in B.A. English honors. There are many options for me to go in different fields like teaching, anchor, travel, and tourism, fashion designing, article writing, etc., after doing B.A. English honors. Till now no recruitment update is there from our college and not even about the internship. There are no events and fests due to lockdown.

    Our college is very good.
    Placements: 80% of students are currently studying in our course. The highest package offered is 80,000 per month, the average salary is 50,000 per month, and the lowest salary is 30,000 per month. Mostly, private companies offered jobs, and Reliance and Tata Group are among them. In my senior batch, approximately 60% of students got internships from our course, and most of them got jobs in these two companies. Site visitor and manager roles are offered in our course.
    Infrastructure: The facilities and infrastructure available for our course and different departments are good. All the classrooms, labs, and library are fully modified. All good facilities are available in our hostel. The quality of food is delicious and tasty. The mess and canteen are clean. Medical facilities are available.
    Faculty: Most of the teachers are helpful and dedicated. They are well qualified and knowledgeable. All the teachers are well-behaved. This course curriculum is relevant. It makes the students industry-ready.
    Other: I am very much interested in this course since my childhood, so I chose it. We can share our problems with our teachers. Events, campus crowd, connectivity, campus surrounding, and extracurricular activities are good.

    This university provides great experience to the students.
    Placements: If students study well, and are true to their skills, they can surely make a career. This college doesn't provide placements in honors courses, but they do that in computer, science, or commerce-based courses.
    Infrastructure: I enrolled for open and distance learning. So as per my course. there is no need to attend classes regularly. Students have to give the exam yearly for both semesters consecutively for 3 years and submit the assignment at the right time at their study center.
    Faculty: Teachers are helpful at the study center. They help students to understand the situation they deal with while studying or making assignments. This course is not curriculum-relevant. Semester exams are tough as compared to that of other universities.
    Other: I opted for this course, because of my love for english language and literature. I just like to read and discover cultural things. I just wish the interactive space between the teachers and students increases through the online medium.
