IGNOU is one of the reputed universities of India that provides all kinds of courses ranging from distance to online and offline. Hence, the question rests on what is actually the placement scenario of the university.

The prominent details regarding placements to be focused on are as follows.

Campus Placement Cell (CPC):

University has a campus placement center that acts as an epicenter for the entire process of employment-related activities.

• It ensures that the right candidate is made available with respect to a particular job description.

• It also provides support to companies in all possible forms like logistically and infrastructural resources.

• The prime-most method in which CPC helps is by organizing Job fairs, Campus drives, and recruitment drives.

• It is also planning to launch a training & placement portal on the Samarth platform. It will make the process of placements more channelized and updated.

Job Opportunities:

• As compared to the number of individuals that graduate from IGNOU, the placement percentage is quite less and not impressive.

• Very few students have got the opportunity for campus placements.

• The general view of many pass out students is similar in this case that placement options are almost negligible.

• There are certain courses where students have bagged good packages like B.A. (arts).

Once you get registered for the placement cell, you will definitely receive notifications but that too prominently for graduation courses, not for masters courses.

Alumni Distribution:

Although the alumni distribution of the university shows a varied sectoral range. The below figures justify the above fact.

• Engineering- 13%

• Business Development- 13%

• Operations- 13%

• Information Technology- 13%

• Education- 9%

• Sales- 8%

• Human Resources- 6%

• Finance- 5%

There have been IGNOU alumni in different companies, prominently in the IT sector like HCL Technologies, IBM, Accenture, TCS, Cognizant, Genpact, Wipro, Tech Mahindra.

IGNOU definitely is a sure shot option for studies and pursuing degrees but for placements, it holds a back seat. It can provide you the liberty to do a job and pursue a course, but it is a little inactive when it comes to providing good & decent placements. However, students have the option to opt for off-campus placements.
