I am satisfied by the fees charged and commitments made by the college.

Placements: As per my knowledge, there is no campus recruitment facility provided by the college to their students. As this is an open university there is no job security provided by the college and students are aware of the same while joining the college.

Dissatisfied with the lack of knowledge of teachers & the problem solving skills of regional centre.

Placements: It is an open course so there is no direct placement available. Because IGNOU is an open University. They organize campus placement once in a year. I am in the last year so don't know about percentage of students getting placements. So the placement is an issue for open courses.

Review of IGNOU - Indira Gandhi National Open University.

Placements: The college doesn't provide any placements. It's very hard to clear all the semesters in one attempt. Our college doesn't have any tie-ups with IT companies like Accenture, Amdocs, Capgemini and HCL. Cognizant will not hire students who did their graduation from IGNOU. After studying from here, you will get jobs in voice process, testing and non-voice process. I have completed BCA from IGNOU, and it's very tough. It's an open university, and they can give you a degree but not placements.

It is a good university if you want to opt for a distance course.

Placements: Placements information is provided sometimes through SMS or else on the website. The salary package offered will be 1 LPA-3 LPA in moderate companies. Roles offered are mostly related to general managing and administration. Our college doesn't provide job or placement assistance for the specific course which you opt for.

It is a degree college only, so if you want to gain knowledge, opt for regular college.

Placements: The college does not provide placements for students. There is no placement committee. It is an open university. For placement and a good job, you can try on your own, and do not depend on college. It is a degree college where you get a degree, not knowledge.

A good college for distant learning.

Placements: As they offer a distant learning course, there isn't any campus placement. For working professional who can dedicate a little extra time, it offers a valuable learning course. The course is ideal for people who after completing graduation started their corporate journey but are keen to learn more as well. My objective was to gain additional knowledge and it served the purpose.

It was a moderate experience. As it was an open school of learning, didn't expect much.

Placements: Since it was an open school of learning education, there were no such placement opportunities. Most of the students who enrolled were already placed, as some were working as teachers, and some were working in MNCs. It is the reason why they opted for an open school of learning.

IGNOU is a great place to study if you are currently working.

Placements: The college is an excellent place to get your required degree. Placements are not possible in this college as it is an open university. But students can go for off-campus placements with certificates provided from this institute.

I am satisfied with the studies. The infrastructure was not good, and it needs to be improved.

Placements: The college does provide many placements. Salary package offered to students was not good, and only small companies visit the campus for placements. Companies were not worthy of hiring more skilled students. The salary package offered was only up to 4 LPA, which is not appropriate and mainly call centre was visiting the campus and offered night shifts, which could create hindrance for girls.

Dissatisfied with the faculty.

Placements: Placements in IGNOU are not much good. But, if you pursue an MBA, MCA or BCA, there are some placements. The details are given on the official website of IGNOU. Placements depend on the programme. If you pursue an MBA, MCA, BCA or BBA, you can easily get placed anywhere.

IGNOU is worth the money compared to other universities.

Placements: Placements in the college were poor. As it is an open university, one can't expect good placements. They only provide the degree. Hence, no one knows the average salary package offered at IGNOU. Though it is an open university, IGNOU conducts some placement fairs 2 to 3 times a year. One can attend these fairs for placements.

Placements: Placements in our college are not very good. Maximum of the students studying here want only a masters degree along with other certification courses as this is a correspondence college.

IGNOU is the correspondence college for getting a masters degree at a very low price.

Placements: Placement rate is average and has not improved since last year. It is a correspondence college, and most of the students are studying here only for their degree. There is no placement cell here, and no internship opportunity is available.

IGNOU is the best option for working professionals.

Placements: B.Com students never had placements in this college. There is no provision of internships here. We never got the assistance from the placement cell of our college. Since studying from IGNOU is just getting a degree through correspondence. Therefore, there is no such provision of placements for students.

Placements: I'm in my first year. So I'm not quite about the placements provided by the university. But I hope something good comes up when I am done here. The way every other arrangements are done, I'm totally confused how the placements would be. I mean the things are both good and bad here. So it's kind of unpredictable.
