Foremost criteria being an appreciative score in the Part 1 examination along with availability of seat in the desired college.
Results for the various courses among BA(Prog) and B.Com were late this year, the latest result being declared in the first week of November. This delay has definitely strained the student's expectations of migration from SOL to other regular colleges, as classes in most of the regular colleges start from mid August adding to the woes of the expectant migratory birds the last date for the migration this year was October 16, 2010.
To make up grievances caused by the late results on the aspirations of students hoping to migrate to a regular college, the last date for migration has been extended to December 16, 2010.
"It is notified that the last date for migration of students from the School of Open Learning to regular courses has been extended till 16th December 2010 for the academic year 2010-11."The notice can be found at this link.
