Dear Amma, will I make it to DU?

Studying Philosophy was never in my plan, but then I researched about the subject, and it turned out to be one of the most diverse course that i could pursue. If at all I want to take UPSC, i can pursue philosophy as my optional considering it has very less syllabus, or I could pursue law after this, as the moral obligations that it teaches you becomes very important in pursuing law. We have frequent tests, assessments and presentations, and i am sure it gets tougher as we keep on going.

My college is known for its campus placement in DU. The highest package offered was around 40,00,000 to a Bcom grad. People from all the courses got placed into super blue, blue and non blue firms into diverse fields. But since DU is known for UPSC preparation, majority sit back and take UPSC. I plan to pursue law after graduation and then take UPSC.

The total annual fees for general category for my course in my college is Rs20060 which was deducted from tge admission fees that we had paid prior to the college allotment process (it was around 25000 and the rest was credited again to the payer's account). There are various scholarships but are not affiliated with DU as such.

The campus is really beautiful, plus its an all girls anti-ragging apolitical college which makes the environment both social and political, an inclusive place to study at. We have two grand celebrations in collaboration with the NSS. The extra curricular although sometimes get overwhelming because of the academic pressure, but in the end it makes you a person ready to take up different challenges in life.

For me, i had always wanted to come to the college where i am in, at the moment, so it doesn't really matter. But I did apply to NMIMS as a backup because there's no harm in considering backups. I took CUET and I scored pretty decent marks, 728, to get into Philosophy.

The faculty members are really well read, from good universities like JNU, Imperial College, BHU and many more, they're very discussion oriented, which becomes interesting when reading about controversial topics. There's a faculty- student ratio of 1:62, however there are tutorials as well wherein all the 62 students are divided into groups of 3 for clearing doubts and everything. Since the college is very competitive in a healthy manner, everyone is a topper, therefore almost everyone manages to score pretty well in tests.
