Course Curriculum Overview

2

The course curriculum is though according to NEP butnis very outdated, in our major subject like I have German and papers of English, we are not studying any professional expertise subject even in our third year. Just theories.

Internships Opportunities

4

There are a number of unpaid ones. The selection process is easy as the name of the college and student Quality is decent. There are certain paid ones also mostly offering marketing roles. Preferably for commerce students. But yes one can get a number of internship opportunities.

Fees and Financial Aid

The fee structure for the BA program at Delhi College of Arts and Commerce (DCAC) includes an annual tuition fee of ?9,800, which amounts to ?29,400 for the entire three-year duration. In addition to this, students are required to pay an examination fee of ?1,500 (depending upon number of papers) per semester. Since the program consists of six semesters, the total examination fee sums up to ?9,000 approx. Therefore, the overall cost for the BA program, including tuition and examination fees, comes to ?38,400 over three years. This amount does not include additional expenses such as hostel charges, library fees, or other miscellaneous costs, which may be applicable depending on the college’s policies.

Campus Life

2

The Infrastructure is very bad as I mentioned, the canteen is worthless, the campus is very small, and there are outdated classroom, but because of NAAC teams arrival we get a chance to get a sort of good and clean classroom in our final year. There are a number of societies, like dancing, advertisment, placement, singing, debating, etc. We can join anyone of them very easily, just we have to work a lot in it. Apart from this the student Quality is also decent but can be better. I think the cutoffs should be made more competitive to ensure good quality of students in the campus.

Admission

I just want to pursue a foreign language course. So this is the only option in DU, apart from this I have applied to JNU in that I was getting Russian Language but that was not as per my choice. If I was able to make it in JNU, then I might get many Benifits like placements, exposure, and most importantly practical subject to study in an language like, translation tools etc. The admission process is very simple, just appear in CUET, get the score fill out form and bravo you will be selected, if you have a decent one.

Faculty

4

There are good facuties in DCAC. However they are not willing to teach, that's the another matter. I profoundly like some of our English professors, though they are also the same but they are open to the students who are willing to learn. In our class there are 12-100 students depending upon the subject we are studying. Generally if I take a general sense from my EVS Class there is one teacher on approximately 120-150 students of particular semester, and there are 3 semesters running consequently in a particular time. The professors ofent don't repeat for professional courses like ge, vac and sec, thats a good thing we, come across new interpretetion and perspectives.

Interview Experience

4

No, I have not faced any type of interview while admission. There was a councelling process only, where I have registered in du portal and got admission by paying fee. Then when the classes got started I connected with the teachers they started classes of our group and after 4 months there was a document verification. No complications were faced in admission. There was an informative introduction session too.

Night Life

2

There is a place called mini near the college that is our sutta bar, so one can hangout there, and apart form this there is a netaji nagar market that is not very happening, often students, go there for lunch. The most of the area around the college is expensive or in redevelopment. Which makes it a non-happening place.

Other Applied Colleges

Jawaharlal Nehru University - [JNU] | German

Was not selected in cutoff list.

Banaras Hindu University - [BHU] | Bachelor of Fine Arts [BFA]

Was very far from my location.

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.

Course Curriculum Overview:

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. Tho the theory exams are quite difficult and subjects like advance mme where max students fail exist but then also it is doable and has market value

Placement Experience:

The college has a placement cell which comes up with lots and lots of internship and job offers throughout the year, you get multiple new job opportunities every week but the campus placement is not all that great, B Com courses have somewhat decent placements. the college doesn't push very much or try much to get students placed, you're on your own.

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.
