What Students Say
Likes
- I really liked the ambience and classes that school of open learning provided in the three year course. Also the teachers are really smart and educated. The teaching methods of faculties in the clasees are top notch.
- School of open learning provides a variety of programes where student can come and correlate to each others. Also the varieties of ambience and the clean ambience and classrooms are a major part why I like it this much.
- Compared to regular colleges SOL is extremely affordable. It offers quality education under Delhi University Umbrella at a fraction of the cost, making it accessible for many students.
Dislikes
- One of the major drawbacks is the lack of peer interaction and classroom experience. The absence of regular classes and regular friends is sometimes feel isolating which is lack of interaction at many levels.
- From delayed study materials to unclear exam notifications, the administrative side needs improvement. It often leaves students confused and anxious and the helpline numbers of SOL are majority times not working.
- It creates limited practical exposure. SOL Focuses mainly on the theory. There is a lack of practical or industry exposure which is crucial for today's job market. They could really work on the same matter.
Course Curriculum Overview
The course curriculam is decent in theory but lacks real world applications. I chose it for flexibility and affordibility. It needs updates with the case studies, industry exposure, and interactive teaching. Exams are manual, mostly theory based and moderately tough.
Fees and Financial Aid
The year wise fees was around Rs 9000/ Year which included tuition fees and other charges. The fees is very convenient in accordance with fees of other universities. Fees of Bcom Program is also around Rs 8000-9000/Year
Campus Life
Campus life at the School of Open Learning is quite differnet from regular colleges. Since most of the learning is distance based, the social interaction is limited. The library at SOL is well stocked with a decent range of reference book, previous year papers.
Admission
I chose SOL for its flexibility, low fees, and DU's reputation. Missed regular college due ti high cut offs. SOL's admission was simple, online form, document upload and fee payment. The most preffered is SOL amongst my friends too.
Faculty
The faculty to student ratio at SOL is quite wide, given the open learning model. Most of the learning is self paced through study material and regular classroom interaction is limited. Personally I like Dr. Anil Kumar who teaches Financial Accounting. His lectures were crisp.
Night Life
School of open learning doesn't have a traditional campus or hostel life. The library and public areas close by 5 P.m. and there are no late night facilities. However nearby Kamla Nagar, Hudson Lane, and GTB Nagar are student favorites, safe, vibrant and fun to unwind.
