What Students Say

Likes

It's an open schooling so you can work and graduate together
There's no need for attendance or showing up for assignments
The assignments are also submitted online

Dislikes

The datesheets and admit cards take a lot of time to update
Even the results take a lot of time to update and show on the website
You have to find everything online if any difficulty

Course Curriculum Overview

1.5

As I said previously there is not special curriculum provided in open schools The students have to prepare themselves and give the exams The semester exams happen every six month and the internals one month before that

Class Size: 40Course Fees: INR 8000 per year

Fees and Financial Aid

No there are no employment facilities available here Students have to give interviews and get a job themselves after the graduation or side by side The cost is around 8000 which depends on the courses respectively

Campus Life

My overall experience was 5 on a scale of 10 because of some inconveniences that can happen during the registration and semesters The admit cards , results, datesheets are not updated soon enough The books are available from the main building of SOL You can interact with the students online on WhatsApp

Admission

No entrance exam needed for open schools You just need to go to a cyber cafe or maybe do it yourself on a computer and fill out the form of whichever course you are interested in and that's all The fees is also submitted online

Faculty

There is no faculty involved in these kind of educations Ofcourse the online classes are provided for the ones in need The assignments are given and submitted online and the internals are also held online

Likes

Affordable fee structure that makes higher education accessible to students from different financial backgrounds.
Flexible learning system, allowing students to manage their studies alongside other responsibilities.
Opportunity to pursue a degree from delhi university through open and distance learning.

Dislikes

Limited opportunities for regular classroom interaction and face to face engagement with teachers and fellow students.
Students pursuing distance learning may need to rely more on self-study and independent preparation
More regular communication, student support, and interactive academic activities would improve the overall learning experience

Course Curriculum Overview:

The BA English Honours curriculum at DU SOL is relevant and provides a strong foundation in literature and language. The course covers diverse topics that support academic learning and critical thinking. The flexible structure is suitable for distance-learning students. Adding more practical activities, updated study materials, and interactive learning opportunities could further improve the overall course experience.

The behavior of many teachers was quite rude and arrogant as if they were teaching us for free.

I wanted to do PhD in Political Science but due to percentage I took up BA program. Teachers used to provide notes but mostly I used to be off. There was nothing wrong with the college. Exam timings were good.

Course Curriculum Overview:

As a future law student philosophy was one of the options which was good to opt. Secondly, comparatively less people opt it and it can be one of the better choices if you are preparing for upsc and taking it as an optional. Teaching can be made more interactive as the topics are really interesting

The teaching faculty is really nice and polite. They usually help students even when u contact them after college hours.
The engagements and the quality of the social interactions in this college is also very good and very uplifting.
The quality of the infrastructure is very good compared to other colleges in du, considering its very new.

Course Curriculum Overview:

I chose this course because the thought of learning about the literature of the older times was pretty exciting to me while I was choosing the course. The curriculum however does prepares you if you want to continue ur academic journey in the English field.

Remarks:

Positive : the faculties are good and I could say our college is the meeting place of various cultures ranging from Kerala to jammukashmir Negative: the infrastructure is poor. Labs and libraries are not so good. And there are stray dogs who often steps into classes and make us afraid. College is not fully air conditioned but is on processing.
