Institute of Open and Distance Learning , Chandigarh University

Admission: I like that we get all our course materials on the Digivarsity app. They also give us printed study materials, but mine got delayed. We have assignments to do before the course finishes. My semester started in November and ends on December 20th. The content isn't the best quality, and the exams are kinda average in difficulty.

Placement: I'm in my second year, so I don't have a lot of details about placements yet. They told us we'd get placements in our third year through Optara, an online portal. I'm looking forward to learning more about placements next year.

Campus: I'm a distance education student and I think the quality of education could be improved. The content given isn't what I hoped for and doesn't explain things well. The online sessions are kind of random and not consistent.

Admission: I really liked the course content. The exams were okay too. Our university has a good exam system that makes sure students can show what they know without cheating. It's all set up to help us do our best.

Campus: The college infrastructure was awesome! Everything was so convenient and nice. We had separate hostels for guys and girls, and they were top-notch with all the cool stuff.

It was pretty sweet!

Placement: The college really cares about your skills more than your grades. You gotta finish all the projects and assignments. The salary packages range from 3 LPA to 12 LPA, which is pretty good. A lot of students from our course got internships. And some of us are even starting our own businesses. It's all about practical experience here.

The library gives you two library cards, and you can borrow up to two books at once. I don't live in the hostel, but my friends say it's good. Some international students stay there and have a great time. The college organizes lots of events, and the canteen is good, even though it's a bit pricey.

Campus: Since I'm in the CUIDOL distance education program, I don't have to worry about hostels. But they have this cool tour de campus thing where distance learners like me can stay on campus until the program ends. They provide food and all the facilities we need. It's a great opportunity to experience university life!

Admission: The teachers at our college are awesome, and the subjects we study are straightforward.
