What is it like to do English Hons from Delhi University?

MB
Manav Batra Posted On : October 25th, 2021
studied at University of Delhi

If you are a reading enthusiast and loves to write with a great hold of Grammar, go for English Hons. You should not choose this as your 2nd option because the course is very hectic and requires a lot of concentration and interest. 

English Hons is often misunderstood only with British Literature which is not true. You will be reading literature around the world including American, African, European, and Indian. 

You must be regular to lectures as they are highly recommended. The faculty at Delhi University for this course is exceptional and their teachings should not be missed. You may find everything online but attending classes has its own advantages. 

You will definitely enjoy your experience in the classes while interacting with teachers. It is important to note that your attendance will play a major role in internal assessment.

What are the future prospects of getting a BSc degree from DU? What are the best colleges in DU?

PM
Prashant Mathur Posted On : October 12th, 2022
Chemistry Honors from University of Delhi

 In today's world, getting a bachelor's degree from any college isn't worth much.

DU has a brand name, but if your overall grades aren't good enough, having a degree from Delhi University is pointless.

By providing many resources and an intellectual environment, Delhi University will assist you in exploring various aspects of your personality.

However, if you have a bachelor's degree in any of the Science subjects or even Mathematics, you will need to do a master's or even a PhD to get a decent-paying job.

However, if you are an SRCC or Stephens graduate, you may be able to get a good placement from the college itself if you have a degree in Arts or Commerce with above-average marks.

The best colleges vary depending on your subject, such as SRCC for those interested in commerce. Stephen's is also regarded as one of the most prestigious universities. Other good colleges include Miranda House, Hindu, and Lady Shri Ram.

Which is better, Ambedkar University Delhi or Delhi University?

RS
Reena Singh Posted On : January 24th, 2023
B.A(Hons) in Bachelor of Arts in English Literature with Honors, University of Delhi (Graduated 2015)

Here is a fair comparison between Delhi University and Ambedkar University Delhi:

DU

  • Depending on the college you will be attending, North-South and far-flung universities have their own aura, so geographical location is very important. 
  • Considering the location, DU students are mobile. They are familiar with the best spots for exploring, shopping, traveling, drama, sports, DUSU election participation, and many other activities that take place separately in different colleges.
  • Free trips paid for by political parties are offered during elections as incentives to win over the support of young people. Celebrity visits from well-known singers and actors also help to make college days memorable.
  • To choose your college representatives and presence, you will have your own group of friends.
  • Department and course matters are important, and they are somewhat tolerant of absences.
  • Every semester, there is an exam once every six months.

AUD:

  • Kashmiri gate metro station is located in a geographically isolated area near old Delhi. Even in the neighborhood, this place is small.
  • Exams are given based on and decided by the teachers through presentations, term papers, written exams, open-book tests, and an assessment procedure that allows for creativity.
  • The courses are very engaging and require your full attention. You start learning here; understanding will take time.
  • Library, canteen, and computer lab are all available.
  • Professors expect you to attend college because they believe in you.
  • An annual function is held in a small town, and a dancing competition is combined with gazals or Sufi night.
  • Eminent personalities will enlighten you, not actors but professors and writers from various fields.

Which is better for M.Sc in environmental science DU or JNU?

VG
Vedant Gautam Posted On : October 12th, 2022
Lived in New Delhi

Both Delhi University and Jawahar Lal Nehru University offer Master's degrees in Environmental Sciences. However, there is a difference in the degree offered, which is primarily due to the approach to the subject. Candidates will be enrolled in the Masters of Environmental Studies programme at Delhi University, while the Environmental Sciences programme at JNU.

The distinction is due to the approach taken in developing the curriculum. Students at Delhi University are taught the socio-economical aspects of environmental sciences in addition to developing an understanding of the subject in the context of physicochemical and biological aspects of the environment (and their interactions). Subjects taught include "social perspectives of environmental studies" and "environmental economics." There is also a Masters in Arts (MA) programme for students with a background in the humanities.

The emphasis at Delhi University is on environmental ecology, pollution sciences, and biotechnology. Remote sensing, conservation sciences, statistics, geology, and environmental impact assessment are among the subjects taught. I believe the emphasis at JNU is more on the scientific aspect of the subject (which somehow seems legitimate since the degree is being offered for Masters in Science). Furthermore, 70-80% of the curriculum is shared by both universities. Though the JNU syllabus is extensive in terms of subjects such as hydrology and the fundamental principles/technical aspects of water and pollution movement.

How is the life of PG residents of DELHI university colleges namely MAMC, LHMC and UCMS?

SK
Sanjana Kapoor Posted On : October 5th, 2023
Lives in New Delhi

The life of a PG resident of Delhi University colleges like MAMC, LHMC, and UCMS depends on the steam they belong to. For instance, LHMC OB-GYN and Paediatrics have the highest workload while the rest of the streams have relatively lesser workload. 

Almost every stream has an equally high workload in MAMC be it Medicine, Surgery, Gyn, or Paediatrics. The heavy workload teaches the students to push their limits to achieve their goals. It trains them better and also imparts knowledge. Most MAMC graduates can handle any case confidently which even some consultants with an experience of more than 20 years find difficult to manage. UCMS on the other hand offers a moderate workload for all streams.

So, choosing MAMC will give you an all-rounded experience where you will gain maximum knowledge and experience. LHMC is a great choice if you are specifically interested in OB-GYN or Paediatrics only.

studied M.A in English from Hindu College, University of Delhi (2021)

The cut-off depends on your choice of course and college. It varies every year and it can be as high as 99% and as low as 40%.

To give you a rough idea of DU Cut off, you require at least 94% marks for admission to science subjects. For commerce stream courses like B.Com, you must have scored 94% in the top 4 subjects including a language.

On the other hand, the cut-off for Humanities subjects must be between 90-92%. If you are interested in doing Hindi (Hons) or Sanskrit (Hons), the cut-off is very low for these programs. You can easily get a seat at St.Stephens with 66% marks in Sanskrit (Hons).

For South Campus, you can reduce 2-3% from the ones mentioned above. Take a look at the previous year’s DU cut-off for better understanding.

Akshita Rawat Posted On : January 18th, 2022
studied Psychology at Ambedkar University Delhi

Ambedkar University and Delhi University both have different visions and different approaches towards teaching. You will get good faculty at both universities. So, it’s not fair to compare these institutes. 

The major difference between the two institutes is that at Ambedkar University the course structure and syllabus get updated every semester based on the interest of the faculty and students. While DU is more traditional in terms of academics and exams.
