    The best college to pursue higher education alongside your job or business.
    Placements: This college is the best platform for those who want to continue their higher education and do a job or business simultaneously. Many students get good opportunities in many sectors. The college provides additional preference to apply for jobs, and this makes the students feel competitive.
    Infrastructure: The college campus is located in Biscomaan Bhawan, Patna., and the building of this college is the tallest building in Patna. The campus is enabled with Wi-Fi facility, and there are many classrooms. There are smart facilities all over the campus, and all the works are done through the internet. There is a branch of Indian Bank on the ground floor.
    Faculty: I am studying B.Sc Chemistry (Hons). The faculty members are cooperative. They help us in lab sessions, and in solving problems. They also help us to tackle the exams, and the exams are held as per the schedule mentioned in the admission slip or admit-card.
    Other: The campus is crowded mainly at the time of admissions and examinations.

    If you are planning to build a career and own a degree parallelly, then you must go to this one.
    Placements: The placement opportunities are tough after the graduation. B.Sc. degree from an open university is just a formality to be fulfilled. It helps to be eligible for appearing in several UPSC exams and other star level exams. It is important to pursue a post-graduate degree in order to have a good knowledge of the study subject.
    Infrastructure: The infrastructure is supposed to be the best in Patna. The college can have more than one or two storey buildings. It is situated in the Patnas' corporate building, i.e., Biscomaun Bhawan and tower. The buildings are really huge. The university classrooms are on the second floor, and the offices and libraries are on the third floor. The classrooms have fans, tables, chairs, and A/C facility, but I found that the A/C was not working.
    Faculty: The teachers are very helpful. For theory exams, the books are available. The teachers can help you out on any day, and it is your wish to visit the university. For the practicals also, the university arranges teachers from other renowned institutes to conduct a counselling class before the practical examination. In few cases, the students are also given opportunities to experiment. The faculty is lenient and pure while giving the marks.
    Other: The crowd is a common term for any institute. The connectivity is superb. The online portal helps to know the tiny details about any event or examination. The surrounding of the university is Patna's famous Gandhi Maidan and Gol Ghar. I guess scholarship schemes are not prevalent in an open university.

    Review of Nalanda Open University - NOU.
    Placements: If you want the placements, you will have to work harder. You need 90% in academics for the best salary package. Here toppers come to study from everywhere in India and also from foreign countries. Minimum percentage of students get the internship. Above 70% of the students can get the placement.
    Infrastructure: Hotels were too big and rooms were clean. There was a Wi-Fi service. You can use Wi-Fi with limited access. Here, the library was huge and you can have the books. The food served was excellent. You will not like the food of home after having food here. There was also a canteen, where you will get whatever you want.
    Faculty: Teachers were much qualified. Students of this college are lucky as they get best teachers. Exams were not much difficult, but you will have read. Teachers always help students. But you have to be serious in the final of graduation, because it decides your career.
    Other: I opted for this college as it has students all over from USA, China, Nepal and other countries. Education is very important.

    My college is best college.

You can only get a degree from this college which will somehow will help you in your near future. Nalanda open university offers placement assistance to the students for seeking challenging jobs in the industry.
    Infrastructure: Library is fitted with big size plasma TV screen and DVD for display of education related audiovisuals and computerized projection of other teaching materials. There is no hotel facility in NOU because this gives children to opt distance education which allows student to study at home with the materials they available them.
    Faculty: Study materials are sent through courier and they send update through SMS. Our teacher are quite knowledgeable and helpful. Approximately 10% of the students fail to clear exams. The course curriculum is very standard and really though. Notes are available in the market.
