Course Curriculum Overview

3

Apart from the teachers and university the books and study materials provided by the university are actually very good and insightful, if a person is able to study by themselves properly they would be able to learn a lot. The examination level is somewhere around medium to difficult but if one has prepared properly from the books they would be able to get good grades easily.

Fees and Financial Aid

One has to pay the fees on yearly basis the fees is generally around 4000 to 5000/- or a little more depending on the course. We have to pay exam fees separately which is around 200/- per subject, so if a person has around 8 subjects they would pay 1600/-. There are no scholarships since the fee itself is quite minimal, and after the course there is no guaranteed placement, atleast not from college's side, one can explore it on their own.

Campus Life

1

Being an open university there are no campus as such, the only time one has to visit college is for the exams or assignments etc. Other than that there is no social aspect to this university. There is just a group of students who keep in touch for any updates about assignments, practicals etc.

Admission

No exams are conducted for the admissions, anyone who is eligible can take admission here, for a bachelor's degree the criteria for admission is 12th pass and for master's degree, the eligibility criteria is graduation. The admission process is not a task, the forms generally come out twice a year in june and in January, one can take admission accordingly.

Course Curriculum Overview:

It DU, so i think for many students it comes down to if you are able to make it to cutt off list. So my decision was based on it. I cleared the cutt off list for english hons so i took it. I wanted to make my way for govt job, so it was all about getting a degree regardless of what subject i was getting. I think curriculum just make you educated enough to get to know but its the college life that make you come face to face with the real world. exams every 6 months i.e every semester i think its good.

Course Curriculum Overview:

I really like Human Geography which let me to opt for this paper. Besides theory papers, we also have practical papers every semester through which we conduct surveys, interviews, research which helps us in preparing for the real world applications as well as further academic pursuits if we want to go in the field of Remote sensing or GIS. I feel that for papers including research or management, we should be showcasing how we can mitigate them or adapt in such scenarios and also make drafts for writing a research for further pursuits. However, as the time is limited it is quite understandable as to why its not conducted. We have two exams in a year and they are quite relevant and easy
