Anyone can get admission in the school of open learning. There is no basic requirement you just have to pass the 12th standard and you can get the admission. The application form is simple too, you just have to choose you course and pay the fees that's it.
There are a large amount of course you can choose from in the school of open learning. I personally chose English honours as I was interested in the literature and mythological stories. The curriculum doesn't give you any exposure as there are classes only in Sundays so all the weekend you're on your own. I would suggest to improve the availability of the teachers and fix the teacher to students ratio
There is not a high spike of tution fees for the school of open learning the fees is minimal that only covers the fees of the teachers and management. The complete fees of my course is mere 24000 for 3 years with is nothing in compare to the private universities.
There are no festivals held in the school of open learning there are no events where students can enjoy and that's a downside. You can opt for hard copy or soft copy of the books, both of the opens are available other than that there is no other libraries.
The faculty to students ratio is too poor, there is only 1 teacher for 150-200 students who is only available on weekends. The teachers are just doing there job they enter the class when the bell rings, they open the book and start the lecture and when the bell rings again they just leave. The approachablity of a teacher is very hard as they are only available on weekends when the classes happens and after that you cannot contact the teachers for any queries.
course curriculum is well designed and covers most of the important topics. It helps in building good basics but I feel more practical exposure and industry related subjects should be added. Exams are held every semester with internals and if you study regularly they are not too difficult to clear.
The course curriculum is mainly same as that of what I studied in class 12th. The only difference is that it is depth.The curriculum is relevant to and is comprehensive as well. The curriculum itself does not prepare you for real world applications, you have to prepare extra and find internships and put in effort. The course could have been improved if it was simple ro understand even for those who are studying psychology for the first time. The exams are not that difficult and timings are also as they should be so there is no issue in that.
The exams are pretty good at they are only taken at the time when we are required like two times in a year or you can say in a semester and also the exams are like not too long or two short their moderate and very good to get past and also to get good marks
My course has multidisciplinary approach and has alignment with the current trend and approach, providing research opportunities and skill development. There are enough elective courses and discipline specialization providing the core knowledge of each paper
