The School of Open Learning (SOL), formerly known as the Directorate of Correspondence Courses, established under the University of Delhi in 1962, is a pioneer institution in the field of distance education in India. The country witnessed the beginning of an alternate mode of education when the school started with a modest admission of 900 students in 1962. On many occasions, students from this institution have been toppers in a range of disciplines.

The examination is also conducted by the University of Delhi. Degrees awarded to students have the DU stamp that other students of regular colleges get. In an effort to cater to the needs of a growing number of students, the school established the South Study Centre at Motibagh from the academic session 1990-1991, which has a number of students now.

Alumni Speak

This course complemented my needs: My father, an electrical contractor, had big dreams for me but was not sure about the funds to supplement his dream. But this challenge did not deter me from pursuing my graduation. And, it was all possible because of the flexibility of timings which the School of Open Learning provided. I enrolled for my graduation in 2002 in the Arts stream and simultaneously pursued computer courses and some part time jobs to defray my education expenses. And I must say that I never felt disadvantaged in any way in terms of not being in a full-time college. The teachers were available round the clock to clear all doubts. They also helped in terms of selecting appropriate reference material. Even the administrative side of SOL is very forthcoming and helpful. There has never been an occasion when I had to run from pillar to post in search of details pertaining to fee payment, examination tickets etc. At SOL, I shaped my future career goals and this was possible because of the encouragement and guidance that I received from teachers – Preeti Singh, working in an event management firm.
