New Delhi: In line with international trends and specifically UK Universities, Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU) Vice Chancellor Professor VN Rajasekharan Pillai recently launched a 'Student Satisfaction Survey' for the benefit of its students.
This is one of the initiatives started by the University in its Silver Jubilee year.
'The survey tries to quantify students' basic understanding of concepts related to their chosen subjects and whether the learning materials and academic counseling provided by IGNOU is able to clarify these concepts,' said an official.
It aims to assess student satisfaction levels specifically in the following areas: quality of printed learning materials and supplementary study materials like video/audio, the organisation of academic sessions, performance of academic councilors and IGNOU staff in the Regional Centres and whether learning materials are received by students in time.
Students can send in their feedback by clicking on the link 'Student Satisfaction Survey' displayed prominently on the home page of the IGNOU website.
IGNOU plans to take corrective actions, based on the feedback received.
