Visited IGNOU HQ last December for book collection. The campus is beautiful and green, creating a pleasant atmosphere. The staff were helpful and cooperative. However, I was promised two books by post that never arrived, even after completing my first year. Despite this, my overall experience was positive due to the friendly staff and lovely premises. Four stars!

IGNOU (Indira Gandhi National Open University) in New Delhi is a prominent institution offering a wide range of distance education programs. It is renowned for its flexibility, allowing students from diverse backgrounds to pursue higher education while managing other commitments. The university provides an extensive selection of courses, from undergraduate to doctoral levels, which are accessible to students across India and globally.

One of IGNOU’s strengths is its ability to cater to non-traditional learners through its innovative learning methods and accessible course materials. The university’s robust support systems, including study centers and online resources, are designed to assist students throughout their academic journey.

However, some challenges exist. The quality of study centers and local support can vary significantly, leading to inconsistent experiences for students. Additionally, the administrative processes can be slow and cumbersome, and it can be difficult to get timely responses as phone calls to the university are often unanswered. These issues can frustrate students who need quick resolutions.

Overall, IGNOU offers a valuable opportunity for many learners seeking flexible and affordable education. While there are areas that could benefit from improvement, particularly in administrative efficiency and communication, the university’s broad program offerings and accessible learning model make it a noteworthy option for distance education.

15 July '24 ( Monday) - After having gone through so many reviews, I was worried about my experience. However, when I went to collect my study material for my PGDIHRM course, I had a very pleasant experience. The Guards were so polite with guiding me to the location ( Block, Room 10A). Unlike mentioned in some reviews, I reached the location at 9:55am and all staff that was required for my process were available. They were cooperative and even the warehouse incharge for book issuance was helpful. This entire process of filling the form, getting it signed and collecting my book took me just 15 min and maybe I was at luck but my entire experience was smooth and nice..
18 July'24 - Again visited today with a friend and entire process took 20 min max today as well.
I have attached images of all the location of requirement to collect the book

It is practical to collect your own book from the center if you are from Delhi, to avoid delays, as dispatches might take time given the amount of courses and registration per session

Fill form - 10A
Collect Books - Counter

I visited IGNOU headquarters a few days ago. It's a very well maintained and clean place with free parking. Security is also tight and it has a good cafeteria and I didn't wait for my work and the staff was friendly. If you have any quarry about anything just reached here and also for different problems it has different rooms like if the problem is related to admission then go to the admission room.

This is the IGNOU main campus, very big, clean, beautiful and well maintained, the management is not as much good but they try to solve students problem, their way of working is very slow. Campus is near Saket metro station around 3 km, gramin sewa are easily available from Saket metro station and they charge ₹15/ per person, parking is easily available for private vehicles. Overall the experience is good.

Co operative staff and faculty. They never pick calls but they response on mail and if u can personally come they resolve all your queries. In my today's visit I met with director mpdd and director of school ofjournalism and mass communication.

IGNOU ke Distance courses me Regular Course se bhi zada padhna padhta hai .
Bhot sare assignment likhne padte hain aur kuch assignment ko Delhi post bhi karna hota hai.
1-2 marks se fail kr dete koi na koi paper me , paise kamane ke liye.
University me call kabhi receive nhi hoti , nahi mail ka reply aata hai.
IGNOU ek worthless University hai ?
