Review of Institute of Distance and Open Learning, University of Mumbai.

Placements: Institute of Distance and Open Learning is a government college. The placement cell is not available in this college.

Absolutely satisfied because of the facilities provided by IDOL.

Placements: This is a college which offers distance learning programme to its student. The online facility starting from admission till having in hand degree Certificate is fabulous. The truth is IDOL doesn't provide any placement to its students. One can do Masters and even doctorate from Mumbai University without any hesitation. No perfect batch code was provided to me, as I completed my 3 years of journey from IDOL. One of the biggest advantage one can have from IDOL is you can complete your education and start working at the same time.

Infrastructure: IDOL (Dr Shankar Dayal Sharma Bhavan) is the main center related to all courses. The entrance is there in the middle of building where guard checks the student, who wish to enter. On the left of entrance there is a query counter, where a concern person solve one's own doubt about studies. It's a three storey curve building where courses like Science, commerce & Arts are offered and their related offices are located. Down at ground floor there is a canteen and xerox center. Study material collection office is there down on left of gate. Overall the ambience of IDOL is quiet calm and silent.

Faculty: PCP lectures are offered to students. The teachers are well qualified by their degree and good teaching experience. Books are sufficient for the exam preparation. Everything is explained on the website of idol. Exams are average, one can easily pass if studied timely. Great part is, there used to be only one exam at the end of year. But now they have introduced a new CBCS pattern. Where you have to give an internal and external exam.

Other: I chose B.A. as my degree course, the reason behind studying from IDOL was I started doing work from 2019. So my 3 years of experience with idol was amazing. No need of any improvement according to me.
