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.
