Value for money! Definitely go for this college.
Placements: Placement rate is really low according to the number of students are there. Most of the students get job as a customer service representative in various companies in Gurugram and the placement SOL provides is in HSBC financial service as calling executive.
Infrastructure: Infrastructure is okayish. There is sometimes water to drink and sometimes you have to atand there thirty. There is no proper place to stand in line in shade. We have to stand and sweat but canteen is really good. There are allot of options you can opt for.
Faculty: Curriculum is good. You get to learn a lot by the course. Semesters are pretty easy. You can pass the exam just by studying a night before the exam. Course is easy yet knowledgeable. It does makes the student industry ready. You can get into content writing and all after studying B.A. eng hons.

Great review platform and not complicated at all. Heads up team.
Learning Experience: The overall experience is not so bad. Regarding the course I have taken, students are given PCP classes for at least 14 Sundays each semester. There are also many students who are willing to help others, and the university provides great career opportunities based on my experiences with SOL. A major challenge for a student like myself is that I have to take Hindi, which is a significant challenge with the university.
Placements: Since I am an individual who works part-time and also supports myself, I don't really have experience with placements and internships regarding the University of Open Learning. However, the university does offer students certain opportunities.
Faculty: The lectures are great, and since the medium of instruction is mostly English, it is an overall great experience. The course structure is also not so bad. The only issue is that I am not able to change Hindi. Assessments are very important in the School of Open Learning to score credit for the semester results, and since they are done online, it is very helpful.
Course Support: The course support is excellent, as the lecturers are very helpful and always look out for the students and their problems. There are also many supportive students. Students create groups related to the course, and there are many online classes hosted by college mates where everyone has the chance to ask questions. It is very helpful.

The faculty is amazing in this college.
Placements: Various students have gotten into great MNCs, universities, and other jobs related to the course, and some of them are teaching within the university itself. About 60% get the job as per their selected professions. The university also offers various kinds of internships for students.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure for the course is great; we got the books by Sol itself, and the library is quiet great. The classrooms are big enough, and everything is good there. They provide proper medical facilities to those who need them. The campus is safe and great.
Faculty: The teachers are kind and generous. They are well qualified, and they teach everything properly. We are free to ask every question in and outside of our classes. The college environment is so good. The semester exams are not so difficult. It was a great experience.
Other: The batch is quite interesting. I don't have a lot of friends, but those who do are very helpful and kind. I don't get along with everyone, but with those who do, they are quite serious about their ambitions. The annual fests are great at the university and other society fests.

The reality is always different
Learning Experience: School of learning is an amazing university for all types of students who are working or those who can't attend regular colleges. College or university provides amazing content in its subjects including all types of genre as well as of past and present. It also provides online books and lectures to its students so that everyone can learn and grow together. I have an amazing experience here cause the format and challenges related to exams are quite easy to understand. I have cleared all of my exams with good scores because of universities guidance. Thanku
Placements: Well I genuinely don't know about placements yet cause I am in final year right now . My sixth semester right now . But as I heard and saw on official dashboard of University that university also arrange a seminar for all students at the end of the course so that they can learn and know about the opportunities that are available for them . Students also get chance to join internship throughout the course also for gaining experience.
Faculty: If we talk about faculty's approach and quality of lectures so, the faculty in which I am studying is very calm and maintain decipline in a nice way . And the lectures are amazing , teachers are also doing class activities for our research work as per the structure. The structure is now included research also in our syllabus and assessment so that we can learn basic idea about it very early which will directly help us in our future or in our further studies. Our lectures are quite famous that's why everyone in our batch is now willing to attend classes on every Sunday .
Course Support: Course is supporting efficiently and deeply to us in our knowledge growth. We didn't have to bother ourselves for study material or etc . University provided books to us directly at our doorstep. And also arranged pdf for online students as well . I really must say that school of open learning is really growing and doing a great work . Our course also supports us in getting knowledge about research works also through out the syllabus so that we can learn basic details that we need to do a research paper. For example research methodology subject.
