Answered Questions

School of Open Learning, University of Delhi - [SOLDU]: 33 answered questions

Which one is better IGNOU or SOL?

Nishant Awasthi

17 Oct 22

IGNOU is believed to be better than SOL in so many ways. Some of them are mentioned below:

All of the approved programs are well-known.
Simple admission, re-admission, submission of examination forms, submission of assignments, and other processes. The majority of these can be completed online.
Nominal Charge.
Excellent study materials.
If you misplace your study materials, you can purchase them online from GPH, Neeraj, or another publishing house.
30% of the marks are for assignments, and the rest are for the exam. Because assignments are similar to examination question papers (i.e., sample question papers), you are also preparing for the examination while working on them.
Any query and doubts can be easily got answered by visiting study centers. For IGNOU students, each center has a coordinator and other staff.
Study centers can be found even in the most remote areas, and you can usually find one within 15 kilometers of your home.

IGNOU is also very flexible in that it allows students to complete their degrees in a reasonable amount of time. You are not required to complete all exams at once. It is possible to divide it into semesters. This will also aid in the removal of mental burdens.

What is the passing criteria for B.Com (H) year 1 SOl DU?

Barsha Roy,

22 Oct 21

The passing criteria is really low, achieving this will not be a problem. You have to score at least 33% in every subject, out of 75. If you successfully receive this score, you will clear your first year.

If you scored lower than 33% in any one of the subjects, your promotion will be stopped. You then have to give ER (Essential Repeat) the following year, which is in your 2nd year.

It is quite possible to give ER for only 4 subjects. If it was more than 4 then you will fail and have to repeat the year again.

Is DU SOL good?

Rima Das,

22 Oct 21

One of my friends graduated from DU SOL. According to him there are certain things you learn which will be beneficial for your career ahead.

The important thing is you can get your degree as well as prepare for any competitive exam simultaneously.
If you need extra lessons, weekend classes are conducted.
You can also go through King Champion Guides and the last 10 years because it is the best to score good marks.
CA, CS or CMA with Delhi university B.Com (H) degree will provide you a respectable job and also other similar opportunities.
They have one of the best alumni networks.

It is suggested that you go for DU SOL only if it's your remaining option. Because some reviews of the placements are not that good, also if you want to prepare for UPSC, do it without getting involved in a college schedule. Though the time is flexible, ultimately it is your choice.

Can a student be promoted next year in DU SOL even after failing in all subjects?

Deepti Joshi

15 Jun 22

No, you won’t be promoted to next year in DU SOL, if you fail in all subjects. You will have to repeat that year. You will be promoted to the next year if you fail in less than 50% of the examinations. You will have to take the back examination for those subjects next year.

What is the difference between SOL and regular college in DU?

Divya Rohira

28 Sept 21

There is no difference between the courses followed by SOL at the University of Delhi. However, once the semester system was started in the regular colleges under the University, some differences have been seen. There is nothing to worry about, though. The syllabus of SOL is good.

The courses offered in SOL are year wise whereas the coursework of the regular colleges is semester-wise. SOL is basically for those candidates who are also employed. All the processes are carried out online. It offers courses like M.A., M.Com, B.Com (Hons.), etc.

Can I get admission into SOL DU from a Regular DU in my 2nd year?

Vijay Srivastava

28 Sept 21

Unfortunately no, there is no provision for transfer from SOL to a regular college at University of Delhi. It is so because SOL is an institution in itself, like any other college.

You can try to migrate into some other college but you will not be granted admission if your scores in SOL exams are not very high.

The students of SOL are often looked down upon when compared to regular colleges. Your marks will be scrutinized before you are allowed to migrate to the college. Most students are turned down because that would mean an increase in the workload.

Which university is better for a correspondence graduation IGNOU or SOL DU?

Poojita Gupta

22 Aug 22

IGNOU is better for correspondence graduation. It has more courses available for correspondence graduation, compared to SOL DU. IGNOU has regional centers and examination centers all across the country. For SOL DU, you will have to visit Delhi, for examinations. In terms of coordination, availability of courses, and quality of education, IGNOU is the obvious choice for correspondence graduation.

What is the procedure for the improvement exam in Sol DU for a BA h first year?

Chandra Mouli Roy

28 Sept 21

Since my brother is a student of the School of Open Learning (University of Delhi), he was able to offer better insight on the topic. Here is what he had to say about the improvement rule mandated by the institute.

The only exam you are permitted to improve is the last one that you appeared for. For example, let’s say that you appeared for the B.A 2nd-year examination then it is possible to only improve it once later on. While it is not possible to implement the improvement rule on the exam, like B.A 1st-year, that you appeared in the previous year.
Now, it does not necessarily matter if your score either increases or decreases because whatever you score is going to be the ultimate score you receive. The marks that you retrieve will be final and you will have to surrender the previous score when you apply for the improvement exam.

So, if you want to opt for an improvement, you need to fill the UnderTaking form. Attach your original mark sheet with the form. In case you didn’t get the original mark sheet, you can contact SOL.

How do I get a better score in the SOL DU exams?

Rekha Sawat

28 Sept 21

I have a few friends from SOL DU and here is their advice to get a better score in the examinations.

It is best that you follow the exam papers of the preceding 10 years to gain better insight into the pattern followed by the examination.
Following the same, you should reschedule your time and make a good routine.
It is recommended that you study two subjects per day, allowing extra time when required.
Most essentially, it is best that you study at least six days per week and try completing one entire subject in a week or less.
Brush your answer framing skills, alongside making time to solve as many test papers as you possibly can.

Hope this helps answer your question.

Which colleges are allotted in DU SOL?

Ayush Tiwari

29 Sept 21

According to some of my friends who attended DU SOL, colleges are allotted but not on a frequent basis, just for Personal Contact Program classes only. These PCP classes are held in various colleges across DU and you will get assigned a college to attend these classes.

Further, they will assist you with the study material. So it's upon you whether you want to attend classes or want to study at home by yourself.

These classes are held on Saturday and Sunday. Also, these are not compulsory to attend. You won’t be able to enjoy the life of a regular student and will be able to attend only PCP classes in the allotted college.
