My Learning Journey at Dr. B.R. Ambedkar Open University, Hyderabad

A True Example of Accessible Education with Academic Integrity

Pursuing my M.A. in Journalism & Mass Communication (2023–2025) from Dr. B.R. Ambedkar Open University (BRAOU) has been one of the most rewarding experiences in my educational journey. What began as a flexible learning option soon turned into a deeply enriching academic and personal growth story.


📍 Why BRAOU Stands Out

Unlike many institutions where contact numbers remain just website placeholders, BRAOU’s support system actually works.
From admission queries to academic clarifications — every call was answered, every concern addressed. Their student-first approach is truly admirable.

💡 Founded in 1982 (initially Andhra Pradesh Open University), renamed in 1991 to honor Dr. B.R. Ambedkar, BRAOU is one of India’s pioneering open and distance-learning universities committed to inclusive education.


💬 Communication & Support That Made a Difference

  • Active WhatsApp groups led by the HOD and professors ensured we never missed updates.
  • Assignment reminders, academic guidance, and real-time support created a community-driven learning atmosphere.
  • Students came from diverse backgrounds — advocates, journalists, working professionals, and academicians — turning our batch into a true mine of intellectual exchange.

📌 The 2023–2025 batch will always remain special.


🧠 Academics & Evaluation – Strict Yet Fair

BRAOU maintains academic integrity with strict valuation and legitimate examination standards.
Assignments and exams were evaluated with depth and seriousness, giving real value to the degree and reinforcing the credibility of distance education.

📚 The study materials were detailed, accessible, and well-structured, helping even remote learners progress with ease.


🏛️ Beautiful Campus, Strong Infrastructure

Although the learning mode is flexible and distance-based, those who visited the Hyderabad campus (Jubilee Hills, Road No. 46) experienced a well-maintained environment, peaceful ambience, and modern infrastructure. It reflects the university’s commitment beyond online education.


🙏 Gratitude to the Gurus

On behalf of the entire batch, I extend heartfelt thanks to:

Mr. Sunil Sir, Mr. Yadhagiri Sir,
the Examination Branch, and all External Faculty

Your guidance, mentorship, and support have deeply shaped our learning experience.


⭐ Why I Recommend BRAOU (5/5 Stars)

✔ Ideal for working professionals & entrepreneurs
✔ Perfect for those who paused education and want to restart
✔ Excellent academic support & communication
✔ Community-focused learning with strong networks
✔ Flexible yet intellectually rigorous

🎯 If you want to pursue higher education through distance learning, especially while balancing work or personal commitments — I strongly recommend BRAOU.


🤝 Tips for Future Students

🔹 Stay active in communication groups
🔹 Follow assignment deadlines seriously
🔹 Leverage peer learning — your batch can become your biggest network
🔹 Visit the campus at least once
🔹 Keep track of university portal updates
