What
you need to know -

2. The course that you want to pursue should be
available at the University. Many times the universities do not have the course
and are thoroughly disappointed. To avoid this first check the course and what
they are offering whether it is certification, diploma, graduation, etc.
3. The quality of education that they provide should
be a very important aspect of the open university. You will know this by
approaching past students or current students who have enrolled in the open
university. Mind you, there are universities that do not have proper study
material and syllabus.
