Overview of NSOU- Faculty, curriculum and examinations.

Placements: Placements are not provided at open universities like NSOU. They primarily focus on distance education and providing flexible learning opportunities rather than traditional campus based programs with placements. Students are usually encouraged to seek employment on their own after completing their studies.

Infrastructure: As an open university, NSU typically does not offer host facilities due to the nature of its distance education programs. Regarding infrastructure for courses, NSOI focuses on providing robust online learning resources and support services tailored to remote learning.

Faculty: At NSOU faculty members are typically experienced educators and professionals in their respective fields dedicated to delivering quality education through distance learning. The curriculum is designed to meet the academic standards of the respective courses.

Quality education is guaranteed.

Placements: The placement cell is absent. No placements are available in our course. The college is extremely good, but currently, in modern times, there are no placements available in our course. So I cannot mention the highest feels, the lowest feels, or the average feels. I will continue my higher studies at this institute.

Infrastructure: The course fee is relatively high, but it has all the important facilities required. Classrooms are neat and clean. Also, the security of the campus is well maintained. It is a ragging-free campus. Annual sports and games are arranged as per the academic calendar.

Faculty: All of our professors are helpful, qualified, and knowledgeable. With high-quality faculty members, the education is commendable. There is no quality loss in terms of our educational environment at the university. Being an open university, it allows both regular and distance students. The passing percentage is around 85%.

Other: Some improvements are required, but solid academic experience.

Needs to improve the lab infrastructure.

Placements: There is no placement facility by my college. No package was offered. No companies are recruiting for my course or any other course provided by my university. No internship was there. Only they provide us degree Certificate along with migration Certificate.

Infrastructure: Labs, library, classroom all are in quite good condition. But the lab infrastructure needs some improvement like some modern instruments, technology, and sufficient space. Lab rooms are quite small compared to other rooms. There are no hostel facility available.

Faculty: Teachers are quite helpful, qualified and knowledgeable. They help us through the whole course. Course curriculum is quite relevant. There was no semester based exam on our time. Only yearly based exam was there. The pass percentage was 40%. Exams was quite difficult.

Best college for working professionals.

Placements: Actually my course B.Sc. Zoology has no place in this college. The number of students enrolled for this course is around 90 but depends on college authority. Our batch had 71 students and 2nd year batch had around 98 students. Students wishing to get an internship will be disappoint. Nsou does not give any placement. This is not an engineering college.

Infrastructure: We have Wi-Fi in our classroom but sometimes it doesn't work well. We have a library but it is only open 2 days a week. Food in our hostel is good, canteen is open from 9 am to 9 pm. We have a volleyball field and a soccer field but we have no medical facilities.

Faculty: Teachers are good and cooperative with us. We went on outing with our teachers, organised our farewell parties and various events. SEE in this day and age English is the most spoken language in the world so, of course it is relevant. But people underestimate it. My thoughts about this course is that it has a lot of depth. In order to understand, one must have knowledge about psychology, history and mythology in various books. The pass rate is around 40%.. .
