About IGNOU and its ranking....

Overall: Hii, I am Prabhat Adhikari from Rudrapur Uttrakhand and Presently I am enroled in IGNOU as M.A Sociology Learner and overall rating of IGNOU is beyond its ranking as it provides learner with various oportunity

Placement: While IGNOU doesn't guarantee placements, it provides support through training,Many students secure jobs through these efforts, with placement rates typically ranging from 70% to 80%.

Infrastructure: If I talk about the infrastructure if IGNOU than I haven't seen original head quarter of IGNOU but where I am registered as a student under my college the building of that particular place is good and connected with various oportunity for learners and staff cooperation is also good.

Faculty: IGNOU, the Indira Gandhi National Open University .The university employs around 250 faculty members and 230 academic staff at its headquarters and regional centers.

Hostel: Indira Gandhi National Open University) does not offer its own hostel facilities, as it is primarily a distance learning institution. Students are responsible for arranging their own accommodation.

Overall: Not enough faculty, Not so much infrastructure, books in coming in time. Assignment result takes so much time for update. Grievances are pending, while trying to call for help no one responded.

Placement: IGNOU doesn't solve placement camps for the students. After passing from IGNOU we have to arrange our jobs ownself. Very bad experience from IGNOU. Kindly do needful for it.

Infrastructure: Infrastructure not good enough to study. No faculty available. Bad experience. IGNOU takes classes online. But in one IGNOU classes one book is completed. No doubt solving.

Faculty: In every study centre not sufficient faculties are available. For doubt solving we are facing lots of problems. Kindly give sufficient faculties to every study centre.

Hostel: IGNOU doesn't provide hostel facility to the students. Not a single study centre has hostel facilities. Kind give hostel facility to the students of IGNOU.

My experience of doing MPS from IGNOU.
By Ritika | MA in Political Science (MPS) | 2022

Overall: IGNOU is a national University no doubt but it has some pros and cons as well.Starting from the admission it is a lengthy process and time consuming, then after tge admission if you had aubmitted fees for ignou books then it will take many months for the books to come at you doorstep and mostly not all the books come(only some),therefore it's a headache then till the exams it's a smooth process. After the exams,marks of each subject will come after months and that too very low. They voluntarily give you very less marks so that you will apply for re-evaluation and answer sheet( in which you have more marks than those which are given on grade cards)to gain some money from that and mund you the fees for re-evaluation 850 along with answer sheet. It happend to me in 7 subjects out of the 12 subjects of both years.So prepare for this headache before taking admission in IGNOU.

Infrastructure: IGNOU have many centres all over Indian along with head quarter in Maidan Garhi. It has good infrastructure overall.I have done my masters from Swami Vivekanand college which is nice.

Faculty: Sometimes IGNOU take classes on saturday and sunday which you have to attend if you want marks in your assignments. But sometimes some subject specific teacher do not cone at all in any class but some do come and solve all your queries.
