Pursuing an MA at Maharshi Dayanand University in distance mode helped me prepare for the SSC exam. Thanks to their flexible learning approaches, I easily maintained my preparation routine for SSC. It was a decision that I could only make with the help of Learning Routes career guidance. If it wasn't for them, I might have been pursuing an MA first, then preparing for SSC, which could have wasted my two years.

It was good studying at MDU Rohtak CDOE. I earned a UGC-approved online MCom degree, which is as credible as MDU's regular programmes. I am glad to consult with Learning Routes before making this decision. Their counselling is so top-class and supportive, all because of the counsellors who are so kind and humble to attend calls. At MDU, I learned at my convenience without having to worry about anything. Their LMS system helped me study through e-books even when I was travelling. I can say that I am satisfied with my overall journey at MDU Rohtak.

I wanted to earn a master's degree from a renowned institution, but due to some financial conditions in my family, I could not afford one. One of my friends told me about Learning Routes and their career guidance. As the first counselling session was free, I signed up for it. They helped me opt for a distance MSc at MDU Rohtak. The course literally cost me a few thousands only, and my learning journey was the same as regular programmes. Afterall, what matters are the books to study, project work, and exams to receive a degree. MDU ensured it all. Some contact programmes helped me meet with faculty and peers that didn't make me miss regular classes like experience. Thank you, Learning Routes, for guiding me to make such a good decision.

It's funny to say that I was born in Haryana, completed my schooling there, and still, after spending 10 years in the corporate world, I didn't know MDU Rohtak offers online programmes. As I got the job, I had to drop out of college and leave my post-graduation plans in between. After 10 years, I finally made up my mind to pursue masters in Commerce. Learning Routes suggested to me enroll in the MDU online MCom. The course provided me with sufficient flexibility, so I didn't have to quit my job. I could even access content in my free time at the office or during my commute. I am grateful to Learning Routes for helping me choose and apply for the course.
