KSOU: 2 Answered Questions

What is the quality of education provided at Karnataka State Open University (KSOU)?

Sakshi Gupta
Tamaghna Basu,studied at Visvesvaraya Technological University (VTU) (2019)

KSOU is known to make a good effort in providing proper education to the students unable to join a regular program. But the quality of education provided by them will differ from any regular program. 

The student-teacher interaction is hampered along with the peer-to-peer relationship. Communicating directly with the teacher and students is much better than online lectures. This might be one of the reasons why distance education has very low credibility for job prospects. 

But for the students who are unable to join a regular course due to other priorities like a job or other responsibilities, attending online programs gives them an opportunity to learn about the subject.
Karnataka State Open University will provide study materials and their online lectures will be of great help.
