Remarks :
I applied in 8 courses for graduation. Psychology and English were my prime choices. The University of Delhi had a common form for all the college apart from JMC and St. Stephens for which one can apply separately. I got admission to Kalindi College in BA Journalism. Post 1 week, I shifted to Arybhatta College as my percentage was aligned with the cut-off. I am for the general category but I got 1% relaxation under the girl's quota. The admission criteria were the cut-off system which included the best of four in class 12. The minimum age is 17 and marks depends on the cut off given by the college at the moment. I got in at 89%. For BA English, English as a language is compulsory. I had to take a printout of the form and select Aryabhatta college on the portal. With 2 forms generated online 12th class mark sheet, passing certificate, character, migration, provisional certificate visit college. Submit all the documents and a link will be generated for fees paid to be done later from home.
Course Curriculum Overview :
I am passionate about reading and writing thus I choose English. Journalism wasn't meant for me as I am an introvert. There were around 50 students in class and the department had around 10-12 PhD professors. All the professors were Ph.Ds. Few were from JNU and others from IIT. They gave weekly assignments which were reviewed with feedback. One internal test is 20 marks for each subject. They often used to guide and point out errors in the test as well. The odd semester examination was held in November and December and the event was held in May. We have given a winter and summer break post the exams. The exams are not tough but lengthy. They are strict in checking. A 6 sgpa is a good grade.
Loan/ Scholarship Provisions :
The fees were minimum, 11k for the first semester. This followed by a minor hike of 500-1K over the next semesters. A break of fees was generated upon submission for clarity. There was separate end semester examination fees of Rs 500. The entire undergraduate can be completed in 35K. There was no scholarship but the ECA category for admission but that doesn't reduce the fees. The fees structure was the same. Few companies came in for placement but they were primarily for economics.
Campus Life :
Calypso was the literary fest organized by the English literary society. Streetstruck was a theatre fest organized by Rangmanch. I was part of both and organised both. The annual fest included competitions and star night. Roister was BBE fest unique to our college and 2 canteens as well. There were also annual college freshers for all the departments apart from departmental freshers. The library is essentially filled with books of all genre and comfortable seats and AC. There a reading room separately for students who want to quite learn other than the library. The classrooms had projectors and whiteboards along with steady benches. There was a sports quote for getting admission. Often inter college sports competitions were organized. Every year inter department sports competitions like football, tug of war, volleyball was organized for both boys and girls. Rangmanch was the theatre society. Nibs and Brushes was an art society. There was dance, music, and photography society as well. I was part of the theatre.
