    It is one of the best open learning colleges.
    Placements: Mostly, non-science students apply in the course, but it requires maths in class 11th and 12th. There are possibilities of placements only in top economics colleges. In IGNOU, placements are not possible. Some roles offered in the course are economist, data analyst, investment analyst, financial planner, and accountant.
    Infrastructure: As it is an open university, there are no facilities like canteen, Wi-Fi, labs, library, and accommodation. You have to study from home by yourself. In top universities like DU and JNU, all the things are available at affordable rates.
    Faculty: Teachers do not support us. We have to do all the things on our own. Medium-level exams are conducted by IGNOU, but there is very strict checking which gives you few marks. The course curriculum does not make students industry-ready. You have to prepare yourself and focus on learning skills.
    Other: The value of college is good. We do not waste a lot of money here.

    This degree is highly reputed one and one will be viewed as graduate in foreign countries.
    Placements: To be honest if you want a degree then IGNOU is good but if you are looking for jobs from IGNOU campus then you should go for other colleges as IGNOU doesn't offer any campus placements. No roles are offered here and one need to go to companies to give interviews.
    Infrastructure: You have to go to study centre only to get books otherwise there is no need. Exam forms and everything are online so there is no need to go to study or regional centre. I didn't find any sports or games here. But the classes used to take place on Saturday and Sunday in the study centre which was very helpful.
    Faculty: Teachers are very helpful and the curriculum is also very good and it prepares one for the job. Semester exams are at medium level difficulty which means you can pass the exams after just going through previous year papers. One need to score 32 out of 100 and 18 out of 50 to pass the exams.
    Other: I wanted a simple course because I wanted to prepare for government exams which is very time consuming otherwise I would have gone to some other colleges for degree. There are no events as such or activities and on3 need to go to centre only to get books.

    If you want a degree, then it is a good place for you to complete your degree easily.
    Placements: A very few students from our course get placed. There is no specific data record about the salary package offered to the students. When I wanted to collect data about the placement package, then I found that most of the students are doing their job in the private or government sector. Students did this course only for promotion. Companies do not visit our college to hire students.
    Infrastructure: The infrastructure of our college is good. There is a high-speed Wi-Fi facility. It has a properly maintained, neat, and clean classroom. Labs are also good with all the necessary equipment. There is a huge library where you can get a variety of books. Canteen facilities are not good because here you do not get a variety of food. Only limited foods are available. There are no sports and games.
    Faculty: Teachers in our college are good, and they help everyone. Their teaching quality is good. They teach you very friendly. The course curriculum is not relevant, and it does not make the students industry-ready. If you study honestly, then it is very easy to pass out semester exam. If you do not study, then it will be difficult for you.

    The college is good because of faculty members and good infrastructure.
    Placements: There is no exact figure to tell about the placements of the college. But, the college is immensely famous for the judiciary as most of the students coming here are interested in cracking the judicial services. This is the reason the college is also called the judges' factory. Coming to the part of internships, the internship and placement committee is there to look after the internships, but you can apply on your own to seek the internships.
    Infrastructure: Our campus is huge and beautiful, and it has all facilities required for students. Our college has the biggest library compared to all IHMs. It also has an e-library with all the books and previous-year notes. Our college has a Wi-Fi facility with strong signal strength for students. Our college provides hostels for both boys and girls separately. The quality of the food served is quite good and nutritious. Our college has medical facilities, gym for boys and girls, volleyball court and a playground.
    Faculty: Our college has the best faculty members. They are helpful, understanding and friendly. This helps us to have interactive sessions with the faculty members. Lessons are taught both theoretically and practically. The quality of teaching is, indeed, very good and helpful, which definitely helps a student to get professionally ready.
    Other: The teachers are very helpful, well qualified and knowledgeable. They use modern teaching methods in the classroom. The course curriculum is relevant, and it provides very good practical knowledge about the industry.

    Open university does not provide teacher guidance.
    Placements: I am a student of B.A. and in this course, there is nothing like an internship and all. But a lot of students are interested in B.A. and it is an interesting course. After B.A. you can go to many streams like civil services and lecturer. It has interesting subjects to study.
    Infrastructure: I am from an open university and I don't go to college. We only go for the exams. We went to study centers and there are study centers of IGNOU all around India and it helps the student to study easily in any part of our country. But the infrastructure of the regional center and study center are good and they are helpful.
    Faculty: Teachers of this university are qualified and knowledgeable. They also help students to study but it's an open university so you cannot regularly contact your teachers. The course curriculum is good but I advise student to study this through a regular college only then it will benefit more.
    Other: I chose this course because I was interested in civil services and this course help to achieve my goal. By open university students cannot enjoy all such things like fest, campus, and all. I don't think that open universities are that much good as compared to regular universities.
