Remove circular brackets all together.

Try:

SQL

ALTER TABLE 
    [dbo].[OU]
ADD 
   Description nvarchar(100), 
   UserGroupName nvarchar(100)

See examples here: MSDN: ALTER TABLE[^]

I got the mistake

correct command is

SQL

ALTER TABLE [dbo].[OU]
ADD Description nvarchar(100), UserGroupName nvarchar(100)

I had given extra brackets earlier.
