Course Curriculum Overview
I would rate the course curriculum overall as 7/10 for relevance, and 6.5/10 for comprehensiveness. The curriculum included practical / lab / workshop components, which promised hands?on experience. That was a big factor for me. I felt that I wouldn’t just learn theory, but also get to apply it. It offered some electives or optional subjects, so there is some flexibility to explore interests outside the core. The syllabus was fairly up?to?date in many subjects: courses include contemporary topics (to some extent) and recent tools or methods. It also seemed designed to allow further academic pursuit: good coverage of fundamentals makes it possible to do postgraduate work.
Fees and Financial Aid
I am pursuing my BA PROGRAMING IN HISTORY OR POLITICAL SCIENCE from DU SOL UNIVERSITY The total course fee is around ?10000 for 1years. In the first year, I paid ?10000 which included tuition fee, admission charges, and other miscellaneous charges like development and lab fees. From second year onwards, the fee is ?8000per year. For SC/ST and other reserved categories, the fee is comparatively lower. Some of my batchmates under management quota paid around 4000 more than general students. The fees have been increasing slightly every year, mostly due to development charges. Scholarships like merit-cum-means are available, and some students received up to 6000 discount based on their academic performance or financial condition. Overall, the course is somewhat affordable compared to other private colleges offering the same program
Campus Life
Campus life at DU SOL (School of Open Learning) is quite different from that of regular colleges under Delhi University, as it caters primarily to distance learning students. While traditional social life, regular club activities, and vibrant campus festivals are limited, students often form informal peer groups through WhatsApp and Telegram for academic and social support. The university offers access to study centres across Delhi, equipped with libraries, reading rooms, and smart classrooms
Admission
During my admission journey, I applied to a few colleges including DU SOL, IIT, and where I am currently studying. I also received admission offers from IIT andbut after carefully comparing the options, I chose Para College based on several factors.
Faculty
ChatGPT Log in You said: . Please provide insights around the faculty members of your college. Also mention about the course structure, exam systems and marking schemes. Please consider including: The faculty-to-student ratio. How is the faculty to student relationship and how approachable are the faculties? The name of the faculties you liked and why did you like them? Who are the best faculties? The names of the faculties you didn't like and reason for not liking them? How many exams are there and how easy or difficult are they? How many students fail to clear the exams? How relevant is the course curriculum? ChatGPT said: To help you best, I need to know which college or university you're referring to. Could you please specify the name of the institution? Once I have that, I can provide detailed insights into: Faculty members and student-faculty relationships Course structure and relevance Exam system, marking scheme, and failure rates Specific professors or faculty opinions (if available publicly) Let me know the name of the college, and I’ll take it from there. You said: Para ChatGPT said: I’m sorry, but I don’t have enough public / verified information about Para College to give detailed, reliable answers on many of those points (faculty names, failure rates, who is liked/disliked, etc.). If you can clarify which “Para College” — the city or full name — I might dig up more. Meanwhile, here’s what I can say about what is typical / likely, and what to look for, so you can assess: What to Try to Find Out & What’s Typical Below are the kinds of things that often matter, and which you should try to confirm locally at your college. Faculty?Student Ratio & Relationship Typical ratios: Many colleges aim for somewhere between ~1 faculty : 20?30 students in lecture classes, sometimes worse/more in big courses. If the college is small, the ratio can be better. How approachable: This depends heavily on culture — whether faculty have office hours, whether stu
Night Life
DU SOL does not have large hostels in the way full?time colleges might; most students live off campus. So “campus after dark” type of life is minimal.As classes are through the Personal Contact Programme (PCP) on certain days, many students spend only parts of the day on campus / study centres, then leave. So campus facilities like library / reading room / classrooms are not open all night. Their closing times aren’t officially documented, but it’s safe to assume they close by early evening
