Admission:

Before Uttarakhand open universityI I applied to Delhi University but there was no proper notification or updation for exams, books availability, or any other information was not circulated properly. For regular students, I don't know, but for distance learners, it is very difficult to study in Delhi University. They charge fees but they don't actually look for the students. That was the reason why I applied at Uttarakhand Open University. The teachers are much more involved in students' career than Delhi University. If I talk about my main subject, that is psychology, the teachers were interactive and co-operative while at Delhi University, I didn't even know my teachers. You can fill online application or go to the admission centre, give them information and documents and further they will proceed. You will lead basic documents like Aadhar card, 10th and 12th marksheet, and others. The course fees depends on the level of the subject, if it includes practical,the fees is likely to be more.
