Questions Asked On IGNOU, New Delhi

It is advised that you do not consider whether the IGNOU certificate is valuable in terms of getting a job. However, the acquired knowledge and skills will be precious to you. Time management, submitting assignments on time, and sitting for exams at the end are all essential requirements.

The institute's name serves only as an icebreaker at first; once hired, there is no turning back. Put that knowledge to use at work.

Most importantly, it is a GOVERNMENT OF INDIA recognized certificate that is accepted almost everywhere in the world.

So, if you want to work while studying or can't afford a regular course, IGNOU is far superior to good.

Below mentioned are some of the positive aspects of IGNOU:

• When compared to other private universities such as Symbiosis Distance Learning, you pay nearly one-tenth the price to complete your degree or PG (except for an MBA, which is half the price).

• It's the government. University is recognized worldwide until the criteria state that only full-time courses are permitted.

• You get standard books that will not only impart good knowledge but will also help you clear competitive exams in simple and easy language, and they are available in both Hindi and English.

• Transfers are available in almost all states if you need to relocate during your academic career.

• There are several other benefits to joining this university and simply completing your tasks on time, such as assignments that are given only once a year and you have almost 6 months to complete them, and the answers are easy to find in your course books.

It provides an excellent platform for your success in life. If you want to study at IGNOU, you should definitely do so. 

The worth of an IGNOU degree can be determined in several ways:

• Under its legitimacy as a degree. (Accredited by UGC and AICTE)
• Under its eligibility for government jobs (Almost all govt jobs)
• The caliber of its course curriculum (Yes, It has one of the updated courses with the latest trends)
• Because of its reputation in the private sector. A large number of bright students who are unable to attend regular courses for various reasons attend them.
• Because of its teaching methodology. (They provide distance education, but they engage you for a full year with assignments, projects, exams, and weekend classes.)

However, if you compare the quality of knowledge inducted in distance course vs regular course, you will find that regular course provides better exposure. Any job is dependent on the candidate's skills, and if you are talented enough to learn the necessary skills, finding work will be easy. One must not blame a degree if you are a mediocre learner.

In IGNOU, none of the faculty members at your regional center or study center will assist you in answering your questions. You must assume everything on your own and act accordingly. If you have any questions about your assignment submission or lab courses, your study center will simply tell you to contact the regional center. And in the regional center, no one will answer the phone, and no one will respond to your emails. If you accidentally sent your document or something to the wrong center, they will notify you after the form submission deadline and tell you that there is nothing you can do and that you must submit the form again in the upcoming semester. Rude teachers will respond to your inquiries. You may feel as if you are studying without paying fees, and the teachers are unconcerned about your problems. They are simply teachers by designation; they have no idea what to do or how to assist students with assignments/labs, etc. 

Students are pursuing distance education because they are unable to attend college daily due to their jobs. However, they expect them to travel to a regional center that is not in the same city every month to have our basic questions answered. In terms of projects, they may say in viva that the report should look like this. When you submit the report as instructed the next time, another superintendent will be present to reject it and instruct you to format it as before.

To be honest, IGNOU is an undesirable university in India. Don't believe those who claim that "it's the best open university" and other such nonsense. They don't give a damn about you, your future, or your time. When you go to the regional center, they tell you to go to the IGNOU headquarters. And the office of concern in the headquarter of Ignou will tell you to go to the post office, and the post office will tell you to bring the dispatch number from the headquarters of IGNOU, and they will tell you that the regional center will provide the dispatch number of the book but it would not get into your hands even at the end. 

IGNOU is the worst open university; they value the number of students over the quality of education. They do nothing to help students, and IGNOU is just a big scam run by undeserving people and goons. It is strongly advised to avoid IGNOU. AMU and Jamia are far superior for open studies.
