Remarks

I applied through the official du website and waited for the second cut off. It was 90.25 for history honours and it's calculated as a percentage of 3 core subjects. There was a deduction of 2.5 percent if history is not one of the core subjects, however now, there is no such deduction. The admission process was quite smooth, 3 days were dedicated for admission through the second cutoff, I reported on 2nd day, they checked my documents, found me eligible and within 24hrs of filling the Admission form, I got a link to pay the fees for the semester and it's done. I found the process 100 per cent satisfactory.

Course Curriculum Overview

4

The curriculum covered all the aspects of history, India and the world. The college provides all the choices mentioned in the syllabus and also has one of the best faculties at DU. All the teachers are well-renowned scholars and experts in their field. Internals were conducted on regular basis and contributed to 25 per cent of final scores, attendance contributed 5 per cent. Exams were easy to pass, however scoring a good CGPA, demands regular studying throughout the semester. College organized many field trips and seminars as well, overall I am very much satisfied with academics.

Fees and Financial Aid

This course is extremely economical. Costs about 10000 a year, including all the charges, be it examination fees or anything. College provides scholarships to eligible students and that even includes 100 per cent free education as well.

Campus Life

4

Like all colleges of DU, ARSD, too have a huge campus, that includes an auditorium, a really large ground, and sports facilities were also good. Annual fest was conducted in April, and the crowd gathered was phenomenal as performing artists are quite popular, in my time, it was Sukh-e. College has many societies for different activities like dramatic society, called Rangayan, debating society, NSS, NCC etc. Wifi worked well, classes are good, but not air conditioned. Sanitation is best. However, student politics is very much prevalent in college.

Course Curriculum Overview:

the curriculum is decided by delhi university, economics wing and is followed by all the colleges of du, although few topic are often irrevelent which teachers tend to skip. i do feel that curriculum is pretty old and they should introduce new topic which are more related to reak=l world and give us real life experience not just bookish knowledge which is irelevent. they should also ask for students input related to their curriculum, teachers sometimes tedn to just do book reading. internal exmas are taken frequently and difficulty is 3 out of 5

Course Curriculum Overview:

It is a good course. I went for it mainly because I am preparing for UPSC CSE (pretty common around here). In that context the course is helpful, and also for those aiming to enter research, academia, museology, archaeology etc. However there are not many placement opportunities and for most it would be better to pursue masters later on. Teaching methods are inclusive, both english and hindi medium students can comfortably study. However both students and faculties have some complaints regarding the curriculum changes under NEP such as the sequence of courses in each sem.

Course Curriculum Overview:

Course is rightly designed. Plus the teachers often suggest books that can be read from library regarding course topics. The library is very nice here. I used to study in the library for long hours. The exam notes and everything is available at the photocopy shop that's inside the college. Writing this review really made me miss the college more

Placements definitely stands out as passive placement cell of the college is too good. They are quite aggressive and keep attacking us with getting ready for placements. As top corporate house like Big 4 and top Indian conglomerate also comes to our college for placements.

Initially i took this course beacuse i filled it as a backup for coming into delhi university but now i can say that the course is very interesting and it is practically applicable in daily life.

Reviewed on Aug 16, 2024(Enrolled 2022)

Placement Experience:

Campus placement is done in the 3rd year. The highest PPO given is 24,00,000 to auditing and taxation departments. Average package is about ?15,00,000 to ?18,00,000. Companies like Eay, KPMG and more visit our college for placement. Most students under the commerce department get offered internships. Other than this, the placement cell also actively keeps sending internship opportunities for students to enhance their profiles. I am an English honours student l, thus there is no placement option for me directly unless I take up options from the P-Cell. I have already interned at EY India, Gurgaon, as a forensics and risk management specialist( throigh personal referral).My knowledge (attained from DCAC) of research, report and article writing were used adequately.

Placement Experience:

Generally, after BA no one is placed and even if we apply for a job we don't get a good package. So, students generally go for masters or some other courses through which they can get placements. Talking of college placement and internship cell we don't have very good facilities as very limited companies are there for recruiting students. Many students don't even get the internship. This is a major negative point of college.
