Placements & Internships : Placements: I am studying masters in computer application from Lucknow Region of IGNOU. I take my classes at UPTEC as I choose it as my study center. You can also study at IGNOU. Some of my seniors are well placed as I know, but there is no college placement at IGNOU. There is no placement cell at IGNOU. I heard a few years back that Wipro took some of the students, but I have done BCA (Bachelors in Computer Application) from IGNOU, so at least there is no college placement since then. Infrastructure: There is no Wi-Fi at IGNOU. The labs and classrooms are just fine. I have never been to the library, so I cannot tell about that, but since it is an open university, so no complaint about this stuff. There is no canteen facility in IGNOU Lucknow, and you have found rooms for yourself because there is no hostel too. There are delays in exam results too. The infrastructure is quite impressive. It had well-maintained classrooms, toilets, and halls. IGNOU is a highly recommendable university for the students who work and study. Faculty: The teachers at IGNOU (Lucknow) are very helpful, well-qualified, and knowledgeable. Their teachings are great, and most of them are impressive skills. The student to teacher ratio varies from each year to year. Many students are studying and doing jobs as well, so there may be uncertainty about that, and I did not get industry exposure during my studies. My course curriculum was above average and is upgradable as we can learn about the new technologies.
