Indira Gandhi National Open University - IGNOU (reviews)

I am doing MCA from IGNOU from the Jan 2026 Batch I am currently in my second semester. this courses are pretty great for someone who has a job or other work to do along with studies, so I am doing this in Open and distance mode where I had to go to my study center only twice in the first semester other than exams, I had gone to submit the assignment and for the practical classes attendance. The faculty is good and helpful but you had to go there to talk call and message did not worked out for me. the campus is also big and maintained. Although the fees and the workload is lesser than other university if you just want a degree this can be a great way to get it.

It was a great experience studying at IGNOU. The professors were supportive and always willing to help, which made learning much easier. The flexible system allowed me to balance my studies with other responsibilities, and overall, it was a very positive and enriching experience.

So IGNOU is an open university. I am currently enrolled in MBA(MM) Distant learning. It is good university if you are a full time employee and want a degree. But it is very unprofessional.I have to rely on other sources to know about the assignments, deadlines, exam dates, etc. The website is not well maintained. Every now and then I have to visit the regional office to get updates regarding anything. Best part is that they offer courses for very cheap and it is a reputed university too.
So it is best for people who are already pursuing something and they want a degree for promotions and all.

The academic structure is thoughtfully designed, blending theory with practical exposure, which helped me gain a strong foundation in my subject. The professors are approachable and often go beyond classroom teaching to provide real-world insights.

The campus is well-maintained with good library facilities, computer labs, and Wi-Fi-enabled classrooms. I particularly appreciated the career services team that actively supports students with resume building, mock interviews, and connecting with top recruiters.

The university also promotes extracurricular activities and personal development. Student-led clubs, cultural events, and workshops kept the environment lively and helped me build strong communication and leadership skills.

Overall, I would highly recommend this university to students who are looking for a balanced education with career-oriented guidance.
