Gaurav Chakraborty's Review on Indira Gandhi National Open University, [IGNOU] New Delhi
Placements and Internships
I have not done any internship. There is no alumni network which is quite disappointing.
College Infrastructure and Hostel Facilities
As it is a distance education, hence PG and hostels are not required. Afternoon meals at the very low price are available in my study center. Classrooms are spacious, libraries are available but with limited books. No WiFi or dining room.
Entrance Exams and Admissions
There was no entrance exam as such. The criteria for selection was 45% marks in higher secondary.
Academics and Faculty
Mostly weekend classroom lectures are conducted for the students. Methods of teaching vary from teacher to teacher. However, there is qualified & experienced faculty who are very helpful.
Fees and Scholarships
Course fee for B.A with English Majors is around INR 3,000 per year including of examination fees. Tuition fee waiver schemes are available. Generally, loans are not required as fees are minimal.
Clubs and Associations
No campuses are there, since classes are conducted over weekends.

Entrance Exams & Admissions : The eligibility criteria are the marks obtained on +2 boards. No special entrance exam. Very convenient. I like this college because it makes studying easier and provides study material, even the fees are affordable, which is the first thing when it comes to middle-class families, who can not afford their ward fees. So this is really helpful and timings are suitable and even if we miss any exam we can write it, the next semester with the same procedure with late fees.
Entrance Exams & Admissions : Eligibility criteria is Intermediate or its equivalent from any recognized board of our country. We can choose a regional center under which we fall and can apply either online or at the regional center. We will be given a prospectus and after selecting the course and subjects, we can pay the fee at the regional center by Demand draft (DD). There is no need for any entrance examination. We can apply directly if we have a intermediate or its equivalent certification. There are no cutoffs either.
