    Review of Institute of Distance Education, University of Madras.
    Placements: Students must score 60-80% to get placements. There is a lot of scope in these courses, such as in corporate securities, etc. Top roles offered are detective officer, documentation specialist, police, criminal advisory, criminal lawyer, cyber analyst, and fingerprint analyst. 
    Infrastructure: Students can use their identity cards to access the library books.
    Faculty: Our college had excellent teachers. Their communication skills and methods of gathering information were excellent. Our teachers gave more importance to studies and sports. Our teachers provided clear explanations for each topic and used smart boards to clarify student doubts using PDF format. They conducted six semester exams, two semesters per year. The pass percentage was 60%. Before the semester, the revision exam must be conducted. 
    Other: I chose this course to find out new things compared to other courses, and I learned new things. This course involved more field work and many visits related to our subjects, like prisons, the Human Rights Commission, mental health institutions, and psychological schools. Our college organised events like sports day.

    It is a great university to continue your education and have a bright future.
    Placements: Since I chose distance education, I don't know anything about placements in the university. But the students from senior batches told me that they get good values and benefits for studying in this university. According to my knowledge, the highest salary offered was Rs. 30,000 per month and the lowest salary package offered was Rs. 15,000 per month.
    Infrastructure: As I'm pursuing the course in distance education, I don't know about the infrastructure of the college. But when I entered the university, the infrastructure was very well. The faculty members are very cooperative and friendly. I went to optional PCP classroom, and the classroom was good. The teaching faculty members are well-experienced and skilled.
    Faculty: The teachers are highly experienced in teaching. The quality of teaching was great. They teach from basics to understand the concepts better. The student to faculty ratio is low. They give us career guidance in the course that we choose. They also make us know about the opportunities we may get after the course completion.
