Genius review of my college .

Placements: Approximately 60% of students were placed in my course. The highest, lowest, and average packages offered were in the range of 2-6 LPA. Many MNCs and private-sector as well as government-sector companies recruit here. Approximately 80% of students get placement through my college. The college also provides internship facilities for all final-year students.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure and the facilities available for my course and department, like labs, classrooms, and the library, are all perfect. The college provides proper library facilities for students who want to study. Clean and pure drinking water is available for everyone, not just for teachers.

Faculty: The teachers are very helpful; they clear our doubts patiently. They are well-qualified and knowledgeable. In my college, year-based exams are conducted, not semester-wise. The pass percentage for my course is 80% or more. One more thing about the teachers is that they clear our doubts many times without getting frustrated. They solve all our doubts related to assignments and study topics.

Satisfied with the fees I paid and the time I invested.

Placements: About 65% of students were placed out of my batch. The lowest package in my batch was 5 LPA, and the highest was 18 LPA. Top recruiters were KRA & Co. as well as ICICI Bank. The top positions available were assistant accountant manager and finance analyst. Approximately 30% of students received internships at companies such as HDFC Bank and IDFC First Bank.

Infrastructure: The facilities, like the library, department offices & Wi-Fi, were available & all were well maintained. But the food quality of the mess & rooms of the hostel were not so good, but they were still good enough to live in the college days. But the management support was not so quick in responding to queries.

Faculty: The faculty was knowledgeable & helpful during the course. Yes, it was relevant to have a course curriculum like that in this competitive market. Difficult level was not so hard, & almost every student used to pass with a good enough percentage. The average pass percentage was about 90% in the semester exams.

Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) - Batch of 2024

3Placements3Infrastructure3Faculty1Crowd & Campus Life3Value for Money

The college is good if your purpose is to join distance education.

Placements: There is no such assurance of placement with IGNOU but there are many career options like that of Professor, Associate Professor and Assistant Professor. The best thing about the college is that I can pursue my graduation while I work full time. There is no such thing as internship provided by the campus, you will have to do everything on your own. The college will only provide you with the course and exam details, that's it.

Infrastructure: I can't say much about the infrastructure because it's a distance learning thing and we need not visit the campus for anything. But I have visited the campus and they have lab, library and full Wi-Fi enabled campus. The campus also has a recreational area and a very good canteen.

Faculty: I don't take classes but there are classes available on weekends and the fee can also be paid online via logging into the portals and uploading all the documents along with the online fee. The exams are difficult if you do not study, but it’s not like you will have to study everyday to get good marks. You can score about 70% by just studying at the time of the exams.

Other: I chose this course because this will add a value to my current job and it's easy to pursue it from here with a full time job. The course can be more helpful if they provide us with the study material. There is no such thing as campus life or events here as we do not go to the campus.

It's good if you want to prepare something or you want to do your job or anything.

Placements: 30–40% of students get placements. It's all dependent on course and this time you can expect a 20-60% placement record with an average package of 2-3 LPA or higher, as high as 7-8 LPA. Companies in the government sector, for example, will recruit BBA graduates, which I believe is the best course available.

Infrastructure: Infrastructure not good they don't care about it but the view is just amazing. Facilities were provided but not much as expected. The facilities here are outstanding, featuring modern classrooms equipped with the latest technology, spacious study areas, and well-resource libraries. Recreational amenities, including sports fields and fitness centers, promote a balanced lifestyle. Additional access to computer labs and dedicated space for group work enhances the overall learning experience for students.

Faculty: Teachers are good and bad. It's all about the human nature course curriculum, which is relevant with industry. If you want to go, you can easily pass the exams. The teaching quality here is exceptional, characterized by passionate educators who prioritize student engagement and personalized learning. They employ innovative teaching methods, fostering critical thinking and collaboration. Continuous assessment and constructive feedback help students thrive, creating a supportive environment that encourages curiosity and academic excellence. This commitment to education makes a significant impact.

Other: IGNOU was good I personally take admission because of facilities and it's good if you want to prepare for another exam or anything else. They can improve the site and information sectors. No fests, no direct events for students, and overall, not good if you want to enjoy college life.

Yup! Best college in the whole of India

Placements: IGNOU is the best college in India for all distance students and overall the best college for any education. Books are delivered to your Aadhaar card address and the fees amount adjusts the book payment, so hurry and book delivery to your address that's good.

Infrastructure: The big trouble is after registration, admission confirmation date is too long, like 2 months , or everything is okay . All courses are available, and I am not going to college, so I didn't think about Wi-Fi availability . I am not because this college actually fires only distance.

Faculty: Teachers always keep students updated on any new updates. After graduation, I don't know if students are ready for any industry. Semester exams are normal, and the percentage passing is not known because I am in my first year. Basically, the passing number is 33, which is a good number. 75 may be good for every industry hiring you.

Review of Indira Gandhi National Open University.

Placements: It is an open university so you can get any placement here. So I would recommend that if someone wants to live a college life, they should opt for a regular college, not this one. Because here, you won't experience anything. And classes are not good as well. It is not worth it.

Infrastructure: My study centre was Ramanujan in my first year, so it was good in terms of infrastructure, canteen and others, but I don't know about hostels as I am not from a regular college. But I think there are no hostels because I did not see any there and buildings are being constructed.

Faculty: Teachers are good and one of them was a Ph.D. holder but one thing that I hate is that of the five, only 2 used to attend classes and if I talk about a course, then it is good and to the point. There is nothing extra. And exams are easy if you study PYQs and you also get marks on assignments, so it is not that difficult to pass.

Other: As it is a university, you don't get to experience real college life, so I would suggest you opt for regular college because here you just give exams and that's it. You have classes on weekends in the last 3 months before exams. I chose this because I wanted to work as cabin crew but if you don't want to work, don't choose open university.
