A: 
{Source: B.A. (Hons) students & alumni}

Effectiveness of Placement Cell for B.A. (Hons) Courses at DU SOL

Based on the reviews and feedback from students and alumni, it appears that School of Open Learning (SOL) does not have a dedicated placement cell for its students. Instead, students are encouraged to find employment opportunities on their own. While some students mentioned receiving internship opportunities, these were limited and not part of a structured placement program.

Here's a summary of the key points:

* No dedicated placement cell: Students reported that there was no dedicated placement cell at DU SOL to assist them in finding employment opportunities.
* Limited internship opportunities: Some students received internship opportunities, but these were not part of a structured placement program.
* Self-initiative required: Students needed to take initiative to find employment opportunities themselves.

Overall, it seems that the placement cell at DU SOL is ineffective in terms of providing assistance to students in securing job opportunities. However, individual efforts may lead to success, as noted by some students.
Q:   Who were the recruiters at DU SOL placements?
A: 

Some of the well-known companies that selected the students in recent years of DU SOL placements are listed below:

Q:   Do DU SOL students get placed?
A: 

As per the Shiksha students' reviews, DU SOL does not conduct any hiring process. In recent years, 70% to 80% of students have managed to receive good job opportunities. Further, the highest package offered in the past few years was INR 30 LPA. Some of the leading companies that offered job roles were Wipro, Amazon, TCS, and many others. In addition to this, around 60% of students received internships in recent years. Some of the top roles offered were Tax Consultant, Bank Manager, Account Manager, etc.

The college is great if we have other plans, or else not so much.
Learning Experience: I am doing my BA program in English from SOL (DU). Honestly, it is okay if we are someone who needs flexibility. The syllabus is similar to regular DU, but the study material feels a bit outdated. Classes are mostly online, which helps manage other things side by side. There is very little interaction or guidance. Updates on the portal are slow. It is affordable and gives us time to explore other skills or prepare for exams, but we really have to stay self-motivated. Career-wise, it is recognised, but we need to build our own exposure and experiences outside of it.
Placements: There is no proper placement or internship support in SOL. We have to find opportunities on our own. It is best for those who want to focus on other goals along with graduation. Otherwise, with minimal guidance and no campus exposure, it can feel like a time waste. I still gave it a 4 rating because someone who is pursuing something else too, for them, it's really helpful without much burden.
Faculty: Since it is distance learning, faculty members' interaction is minimal. The course structure follows DUs pattern but lacks depth and engagement. Assessments are purely theory-based with no feedback. Overall, we are mostly on our own, so self-study and initiative are key.
Course Support: Course support is quite limited. Updates are often delayed, and it is hard to get quick responses to doubts. There's no regular mentorship or academic guidance. Most help comes from peer groups or external sources. If we are stuck, we usually have to figure things out ourselves.

Reality of School of open learning
Learning Experience: As a DU Sol student, Content and syllabus is almost same like regular but we need to do by own. I have got books from university first time for this 6th Semester. Experience is below average because no exposure at all, but if someone is engaged in other career field it is good as we get enough time to go with. Developing skills is equal to 0. Pros are like If someone wants to go with other competitive exams can surely get enough time without any pressure, and cons like No personal development or exposure.
Faculty: We get online classes on Saturday and Offline classes on Sunday in any DU college. Internal exams held online but theory exams of semesters held in particular college. Rarely students take lecture and personally I do the same.

Learning Experience: The course carriculum is well structured and covers essential theoretical concepts ,making it a strong foundation and learning.The syllabus is regularly updated .the inclusion of more practical training,internships and projects would further strengthen the curriculum
Placements: guess,students become eligible for campus placements from 5th semester companies like wipro ,Infosys,flipkart,cisco,accenture ,amazon,TCS and various popular companies provide placements here packages start from 6 lakh per annum and can range upto 40 lakhs
Faculty: The student to faculty ratio is 10:1,ensuring that students received proper guidance .Most professors are approachable and encourage students to ask question during and after lecture. Some faculty members stand out due to their teaching methods ,and student friendly approach,interactive discussions make their learning engaging. The examination system consist of two internal exam and a final semester exam in each semester The exams are quite difficult but those who attend classes regularly and prepare well find them manageable
Course Support: I would rate the course curriculum at 10/10 in terms of relevance and comprehensiveness. The curriculum in well structure, up to date, and designed to provide a strong foundation in chosen field and great in future.
