An opportunity for those without formal education

B.R Ambedkar Open University gives an opportunity to enthusiasts who couldn’t study so far due to their economic conditions, family constraints and other reasons. It is open to candidates who don’t have any formal education or have discontinued their schooling.

They can apply for undergraduate programmes without a second thought as the eligibility test is also quite easy to clear. The courses are accessible to all sections as the course fee also lesser than regular colleges and the generous fee concessions are given by the university.

The university’s commitment of reaching the ‘un-reached’ is apparent in its efforts to reach prisoners. It has four study centres in prisons of Kadapa, Warangal, Rajahmundry and Cherlapally. Open university degrees are considered equivalent to regular degrees and it is no wonder that many have attained considerable achievements with open degrees.
