IGNOU is a good college if you are doing a job and coaching side by side.

Placements: We didn't get placed in our course. Although, campus placement cell conducts various campus placement drives, recruitment drives, job fairs and employability enhancement activities throughout the year at the headquarters, regional centres, study centres and company. I took part in job fairs.

Infrastructure: We didn't go to college. We had regional centres where IGNOU conducted their classes according to courses. We got online assignments, and we had to submit it to our regional centres. Classrooms were good in regional centres, but it depends on your regional centre.

Faculty: MPA is a good course for UPSC aspirants. This course is relevant to the administration of India. For those who are taking coaching and doing jobs, this course is very relevant. Teachers were helpful and qualified.

Other: I opted for this course because I have an interest in public administration. This course is very good, but it would be better if we get a chance to do an internship in the public administration of India. IGNOU provides scholarships too.

Review of IGNOU - Indira Gandhi National Open University.

Placements: Since it is a distance learning course, there is no provision for placements and internships. However, students can find jobs and internships through different jobs providing portals in different domains. IGNOU is a very reputed institution for distance learning. Students who take admission here to pursue masters, they already work in some organisations. So they chose IGNOU for distance learning to complete their education.

Infrastructure: Our university has a well-equipped building with all the facilities. But since our college provides distance learning education, students fail to grab the opportunity to study in the university premises. However, every year our university conducts a one-month classroom programme to provide insights into the course and the questions which can be asked in the coming examinations to help students to get prepared for final examination papers. Our university doesn't provide hostel facility to students.

Faculty: Faculty members here are very helpful and highly qualified. When the one-month classroom program starts, students get the opportunity to interact with these highly qualified faculty members. The course curriculum is relevant, but it still needs to be updated more to make students industry-ready.

Other: I chose this course since I want to start my career in public administration. IGNOU provides you with sufficient time to work for your goals while pursuing your master degree.
