SOL aur NCWEB students bhi DU ke students hain.
For open & non-collegiate students — centres, exams and degree clarity, in depth.
SOL vs NCWEB — what's the difference?
SOL (School of Open Learning) is distance/open learning, open to all. NCWEB (Non-Collegiate Women's Education Board) is for women only, with weekend classes at designated DU college centres. Both award the same DU degree as regular colleges.
Degree equivalence
A B.A./B.Com from SOL or NCWEB carries the same University of Delhi degree status as a regular college, valid for higher studies and government jobs.
Study centres & teaching centres
SOL assigns a study centre near you for personal contact programmes (PCP). NCWEB runs teaching centres at host colleges (e.g. Hansraj, Aryabhatta, Bharati). Your centre is printed on your admission slip.
Exam-centre allocation
Exam centres are allotted separately from study centres and appear on your admit card. Always check the address a day before; centres can be across the city.
