The Postgraduate Diploma in School Counseling at Symbiosis Centre for Distance Learning (SCDL) offers a supportive learning environment with knowledgeable and approachable faculty. Communication is streamlined through faculty contact information and a WhatsApp group for student queries. Although some teaching methods are mechanical, recorded sessions are available for those who miss classes. The exams, consisting of 35 multiple-choice questions worth 70 marks, are moderately challenging, with most students performing well in exams and projects.
In 2020, the course fee was INR 35,000 for students with a defense quota and around INR 45,000 for others, with additional fees for NRIs. Payment can be made in installments, or with a discount of INR 5,000 for a one-time payment. Exam and project fees are separate and charged per subject and attempt. While no financial aid is offered, there is a fee concession for students from Economically Backward Classes (EBCs).
The education provided helps students secure decent placements.
