Course Curriculum Overview:

This is 21st century working with technology is essential. So, i decided to choose BA with computer Application. Every 6 months semester exam is held. Difficulty level of exam is moderate but still many children fails due to lack of study.

Remarks:

I was looking for distant learning so i choose DU SOL. But with minimum classes of weekends doesn't help a bit. Admission process: Just register yourself and select course and subjects and pay fees thats all.

Course Curriculum Overview:

I chose this course because it aligns with my carrer goals and provides flexibility for self paced learning. The curriculum is well structured, covering all the important topics but since it's a open learning program there's limited interaction with faculty.the study material provided are helpful but sometime they feel outdated.

Placement Experience:

Du sol doesn't provide campus placement, so I had to search for a job on my own .there were no recruiters or placements drives organized by the University.most students either apply for jobs independently or pursue further studies.after completing my degree,I secured a job at Paytm through my own efforts.

Course Curriculum Overview:

My opinion on: 1) course: my course was bachelor of commerce which was quite normal in commerce background and after taking it I got to know about subjects , study curriculum and other ways to study which was totally different method of study from schools . 2) academic and facilities: academics were not available due to distance learning and facilities were only available on Sunday and in one day we can't study properly.

Placement Experience:

There are especially no placement and job opportunities in du sol via distance learning. in this we only have to study come and go and give exam rule of prupose. Something at the end of semester there are some internship opportunities which are se bad se nobody wants to do it .

Course Curriculum Overview:

I choose the course because I want to know how the economics runs in our country and how they work in our country. I want to learn all the facts that what the roles of economics in our country. Because i learn with online classes provided by the college so I don't know what is the name of all faculty but the teaching methods of their are very good they are teaching very well. There are only one exams in a semester. And the difficulty level of the exams are medium there not too easy and not too hard . I did the exams in the full time given by college

Placement Experience:

Because I am in graduation so I don't know the placements and job opportunities now . When i complete the course then i give the competition level exams in government sectors. If I don't pass any government exams then i do the job in private sector that I do it now in same company in which i work now. There are best salary's available for the experience candidates. So I grow my experience in this sector to do the work in future there .
