Course Curriculum Overview :
I was mainly interested in accounts and business-related subjects, therefore chose this course. The faculty at DRC is quite good. They will help you in all the ways they can. DRC has all the opportunities but only if you are willing to learn. You have to grab the opportunities and be active in order to have the best of experiences. At DRC we had phd scholars and professors who had done their masters in commerce. Other than this some of the professors were associated with rbi and other financial institutions. We had a midterm which was 25 marks and end term exam (75 marks) in each semester. Since ours was a covid batch we gave only the 1st and the 6th semester offline exams. The rest were all online. But otherwise, obviously, the exams are held regularly. I would say it's easy to pass the exams, provided you refer to the 10 years and pay a bit of attention in the class as to what exactly to write in the exams. Also in the internals (25 marks) sometimes it's upon the teachers.
Internships Opportunities :
There are not many internship opportunities available. The companies that come on campus for internships provide marketing roles which are not at par with what they show or say. They will make you do every sort of unnecessary act. Posting stories and liking and commenting on their posts, which obviously is of no use. But for B.Com Hons people there's a competition held by Deloitte in the first year itself. So you can take part in that competition and avail the internship opportunity at Deloitte in your 2nd year which in turn can help you get PPO after graduation.
Placement Experience :
You can apply for placements in your 6th semester. I'll mention the name of the companies and the packages they offered in the bracket The companies that visited at our time were DeShaw(24 lpa), Deloitte (6 lpa), TresVista (6 lpa), and Accenture (6 lpa, and also had to tie up with XLRI). You can find the name of the companies on the Instagram handle (pcelldrc). The profiles that were offered were HR, CFO, Analyst, Graduate Trainee, Business Development Executive, Associate The highest package offered - was 24 lpa (this was not in hand). Only one person could get this. And she was from Eco Hons The average package offered is 5-6 lpa. 70% of the students get placed. Of the rest, 30% opt out and some do not get any placement. I had planned to pursue MBA after graduation therefore didn't take up the offer even after getting placed.
Loan/ Scholarship Provisions :
The fees for our course were between 15.5k - 17k per year. I do not remember the exact figures. The college provided scholarship/subsidized fees but I can't provide much information on the same. As I never applied for the same. The highest placement that was provided on campus was 24lpa from DeShaw. This was not in hand obviously. It had many one-time pay subheads. Also, only one person could grab this placement. The average otherwise for our course was 6 lpa I was placed at L&T. The package was 4.25 lpa I didn't take it up as I had some other plans. But I would definitely advise you to take on the placements that you get in college. And if you can then try for off-campus as well. But the process is much easier on campus, so try your level best to convert the same.
Campus Life :
We could just attend 8 months of offline college. 5 months before covid and 3 months after covid. We had our annual fest in the month of February. It was not that great. It's on the average side. Rest there are many other college society fests. Each society conducts there own fest/event in the month of Dec-March. There are many competitions that are held in these. It's based on which society is conducting the fest. To be a part of these societies you need to give an interview. (Placement Cell, Finance and Investment Cell, Entrepreneurship Cell, name it and you have a cell for that activity) You can get all the required books in the library. But since the course curriculum of commerce gets updated every now and then you won't find the latest versions There are no such extra amenities in the classrooms. It's very basic. Just the conference hall had ACs. DRC has the biggest hall in the North campus where Miss DRC is held. There's an annual sports day in which anyone can take part.
Admission :
I had met the cut-off of various South campus colleges, but since I wanted to take admitted to North Campus, I waited for the fourth cut-off, and then I was granted admission to DRC, I couldn't make it to SRCC which was obviously my dream college but nonetheless as they say everything happens for a reason and I do believe that. I was granted admission to DRC only on the basis of marks and no other quota was applied. The admission criteria for B.Com(Hons) is - we must have studied Maths till class 12th and other than that there's no compulsion of subjects, for a better idea one should always refer to the manual as it might change with time. Minimum marks in 12th - 50% though I don't remember that exactly, as how does it even matter, for a general category The admission process is like this, after checking the cut-off list you rush to the college with all the required documents and then there they explain to you the further procedure.
