NSOU is a very good college.
Placements: This is an open university, so there is no direct placement opportunity if you are doing a distance course. I was a regular student but our course is not ready for direct placements. Currently, I am working as a digital marketing executive. This is my off-campus effort. But all of the teachers helped me apply for off-campus jobs and opportunities.
Infrastructure: The college infrastructure is well decorated. No hostel facility is available on our campus. But the college location is very nice. There are various companies available within a 5 kilometer radius. Food availability at our college is nice. Food quality is also good. I am a sports lover. I was a regular participant at my college.
Faculty: College professors are not too strict. They will help you if you need any guidance. If you want a job-related discussion, you can contact your class teachers. They guided us during our college days. A college exam is not too hard. You can easily clear your exams if you read properly.
Other: College fests, sports, events, and farewell programs were great.
