NOU is the best open University.

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.
