Why Measure Student Satisfaction?

Student satisfaction studies can be justified from several in the Indian Content. Education is a social sector with public funding. Public expenditure needs to be justified because public pays for it through direct and indirect taxes. In the present age, the tax payers are becoming conscious about the value and utility of their money.

Secondly, government has to justify its allocation to education in preference over and/or comparison to other service sectors like health, agriculture etc.

Thirdly, student satisfaction studies are important in open universities as students enrolled in this system pay for their education. Formal system has high public cost and insignificant private cost compared to low or no public cost in open and distance education and high or exclusive private cost. Hence open universities are obliged to respond to student satisfaction.

Fourthly, the government and universities must know how well they are doing with respect to education. Studies of student satisfaction can provide important clue to the system performance.

Fifthly, the attrition or drop out rate in open and distance education is high all over the globe, IGNOU is no exception. Dissatisfaction is an important reason for student drop out. Studies show that more satisfied the students more is the completion rate. Such studies at regular intervals can significantly alter the drop out scenario.

  1. First of all please make arrangements to attend phone calls to IGNOU. None of the numbers given in the IGNOU website for "contact us" is not picking up.

  5. Well Dear IGNOU first of a congratulation for this new initiative, Well Its well know about the fact that IGNOu does Cherish and initiate new initiatives.
    Well My Concern is that Does IGNOU carry on caring for this initiatives or does it lose the Glory in the mid path way , as it is case with the Face to Face MBA program students of CIAL Academy. First thing even after reaching our 4th semester its highly surprising that the Grade Card for 1st sem even is not updated.
    High irregularity in declaring of result and revaluation results are seen via delays.
    And the most gross matter is the quiet questioning system of evaluation which failes almost 15 student with E grade in a particular subject and almost 12 student who did give for revaluation as others didnt got a upgraded marks to 'A' grade well that is surprising but not for us the same patten was seen again in our next paper too with 33 students getting a D grade and 11 E grade and rest C grades and as all 60 applied for revaluation by to be noted paying Rs.500 Got a Updated result for almost 70% of class.
    It has become a common talk " You dnt need to study in IGNOU u need to have Money to pay revaluation to pass yourIGNOU MBA"

    I do respect the Institution of IGNOU but I am sure there are some really serious irregularities going which has a dire consequences on students and really affects our confidence in the System.'

  7. Marfina PP

    Sir,

    I am Marfina PP doing BCA program under IGNOU. I am now fifth semester student.

    My enrollment Number is 083770534
    My address is:
    Marfina PP
    Darul Huda
    Ekkaparambu
    P.O. Kuzhimanna
    673641

    Email ID is finu87@gmail.com

    My issue is that my second semester result (June 2009) is not yet declared. It is shown that courses not opted. But if you look at the IGNOU official website admission status (July 2008), it is clear that I have opted these courses. But yet why my result status is shown so.

    I contacted the regional office. They told me come directly over to there. I went, said about the problem, and submitted a letter. They told me that the problem will be solved within one week and gave a phone number to contact. When I contacted the phone number after two weeks, they told me that since it is result status issue the action has to be taken from New Delhi, however, action will be taken within two weeks. Now it is more than a year. Yet no action has been taken. I am angry with calling the regional center. Since every time I call, they tell to hold and no response will be given finally. Later I have also addressed a letter mentioning my issues. But still no action.

    Another issue with me is that I have not yet received grade cards of any semester.

    I request you to take an immediate action and let me know of the progress to my mail. I have also mailed many times mentioning my issues. But all was useless. I hope at least this blog service will be useful.
