Best faculties; good books are provided for students, who are preparing for UPSC.

Faculty: Teachers are very good and knowledgeable. Exams are tough. If you want to get marks, you have to study hard. For exams, you have to study through the books.

Our college has knowledgeable faculty members, but it does not offer placements.

Placements: Not a single student got placement from our course. No companies came to campus for recruitment. No students get the chance to work in companies. No roles are offered in this course.

Infrastructure: Our college provides a library, Wi-Fi services, and study materials. Mess is not available at this institute. It is just an open university that provides distance education in many courses.

Faculty: Teachers are very knowledgeable and supportive by nature. They guide students regarding their futures. There are many courses, like B.Sc. in agriculture, computer courses, and technical courses, for students to get knowledge in their respective fields. Semester exams are not that tough, and the pass percentage is 85%.

Other: I chose this course for distance education. Our college supports us, and it conducts exams on time. There are no events or other co-curricular activities.

The experience is satisfying and good.

Placements: The college do not provide any placements, but only a degree for further education and career enhancements. BBA course can get you a management job, analyst job, etc.

Infrastructure: CCTV surveillance, big classrooms, library facility are available in the campus. It doesn’t provide any hostel, medical, or sports facilities. It is a distance education university. You are required to visit the college campus during exams. Exams are easy and usually 3 hours long, with strict monitoring.

Faculty: Notes are provided. The difficulty level of exams is 6/10 for BBA course. The university provides study notes in its website. The students can also download the files from the student portal from website.

Other: Good university for ambitious people.

NOU is the best open University.

Placements: There were 300 students in my department. About 10000 students or may be above got placed from my college. The placements were overall good. The placement starts from 1 to 2 LPA. The top recruiting company is HCL and other banks.

Infrastructure: There are no good facilities in my hostel. I have never used the Wi-Fi of the college so I cannot say about it. But the classes were so neat and clean. They were advance classes. Students also respect their teachers in this college.

Faculty: The teachers are so kind and helpful. They always try to treat us as their own. Their teaching style is excellent. The semester exams are so tough. Teachers guide us in a good manner. Semester exams are taken under cameras. The pattern of questions is repetitive.

Other: I chose this course because I have a keen interest in arts section. My aim is to became an arts teacher. The events were good. Republic day and Independence day were celebrated greatly.

It is a good way to get a degree, if you are pursuing any other course along with it.

Placements: You cannot expect from an open university to provide placements. Only pursue your degree from an open university if you're financially unstable or pursuing a professional degree like CA with it, or if you are a working professional. But if you're not a working professional, it would be better to plan a degree from a regular good college or an online platform like Upgrade.

Infrastructure: An open university isn't a college specifically, but if you need its books, you can get it from Shadaqt Aashram, where NOU is available. Only get a degree from here if you are willing to do something great with your life by saving time.

Faculty: As an open university, its fee is lower, and the courses are just like in normal colleges. I suggest choosing this university only if you are willing to have another degree along with it because only then will it be worth it.
