I guess it is a common tension in the lives of students of School of Open Learning, DU. There is always a tension in our minds about the exam dates, results, study material etc.
School of Open Learning's website is gives the information but it is one sided, they say but not listen. It is not possible for students(mostly working/ outside Delhi) to go to North/South Campus each time to get information or some simple queries answered.
So, the point I am trying to make here is that, if we form an active community it would be of great benefit to us students. Main aim is to fulfill our needs by sharing information. Because
"Nobody knows everything but everybody knows something"
So please come forward and contribute in this initiative, to form such destination/meeting point for SOL students. Where we can
- Create an online community of students, alumni of School of Open Learning.
- Discuss our problems. (This year minimum percentage was raised to 40 % against a simple pass (33%) required till last year. 3000-4000 students were not able to take admission due to this, need to re-define "Open" Learning?)
- Get informed about important dates like fees deposition, filling up exam forms, new admissions.
- Share information( Study material, Previous Years' Papers, Books, Notes)
- Guidance (Seniors/alumni can always be helpful in guiding students, as we have very less exposure to teachers/classes)
Have some masti. ;)

All you have to do is come join this page, spread the word, let your friends know about it and most importantly keep posting something. Keep the conversation going on. :)
And please if you have any suggestions, most welcome.
Thanks,
An Open Learner.

The country witnessed the beginning of an alternate mode of education when the School started with a modest admission of 900 students in 1962. The School enrolled more than two lakhs students in the Academic Session 2006-2007. On many occasions our students have been toppers in various disciplines. The admission process for various courses in the School is governed by the norms established by the University of Delhi. The examination is also conducted by the University of Delhi. The University of Delhi confers the degree to the students of the School as it does in the case of its other constituent colleges. There is no differentiation in the course curriculum followed by the School of Open Learning and other constituent colleges and Departments of the University of Delhi. In an effort to cater to the needs of a growing number of students the School established the South Study Centre at Moti Bagh from the academic session 1990-91. In an effort to reach out to a larger number of students the school is in the process of opening up Study Centre in the Eastern and the Western part of the National Capital Region of Delhi.
The School offers Undergraduate/Postgraduate Degree courses in the subjects of Arts/Humanities and Commerce. The medium of instruction is primarily through well- prepared printed course material which is distributed by mail to all the enrolled students. This is also supplemented through Personal Contact Program conducted for the benefit of students at various study centers run by the School. An experienced faculty is always available at the main campus for academic interaction with students.
