NOU is the best open University.

Placements: There were 300 students in my department. About 10000 students or may be above got placed from my college. The placements were overall good. The placement starts from 1 to 2 LPA. The top recruiting company is HCL and other banks.

Infrastructure: There are no good facilities in my hostel. I have never used the Wi-Fi of the college so I cannot say about it. But the classes were so neat and clean. They were advance classes. Students also respect their teachers in this college.

Faculty: The teachers are so kind and helpful. They always try to treat us as their own. Their teaching style is excellent. The semester exams are so tough. Teachers guide us in a good manner. Semester exams are taken under cameras. The pattern of questions is repetitive.

Other: I chose this course because I have a keen interest in arts section. My aim is to became an arts teacher. The events were good. Republic day and Independence day were celebrated greatly.

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.

It is a good place for learning.

Placements: Placements are not organised as our college does not offer regular classes. It gives self-study materials and assignments. However, the counseling classes are offered per subject with a minimum student count of not less than ten in the number, which helps to build good and specific field knowledge from the experts of the field.

Infrastructure: The college is well-equipped with modern science and computer labs.

Faculty: The gender ratio of the male and female is somewhat 60:40. The interaction of the head of department and students is done on a regular basis while counseling classes. Students are allowed to contact the college administration through the website and given the phone number of department heads for any issues or complaints.

Other: The main and most decorated festival of the college is the convocation ceremony, which is headed by the present governor of the state, who happens to be the Chancellor of our college. In the ceremony, different ministers and novelists of society are also called up for speeches. Seniors are always ready to help the students. College help groups and different portals of a particular subject are running on the internet to help and guide them. Although WhatsApp group also plays a vital role in completing assignments that are given to the students.
