Dislikes
- The classrooms are quite small in size which makes it difficult to accomodate more students and also not all classrooms are air conditioned which makes it stuffy and suffocating in summers.
- The college is situated in the heart of the north campus but is still isolated from all other colleges which nakes inter college engagement of students difficult.
Course Curriculum Overview
My course political science with history is a really good combination. The political science course starts from the very basic of concepts like administration and constitution studies and the history course also begins with ancient india which makes it easier for students of any background to study this course and understand it. The concepts of political theory like feminism and rights really makes us more confident in putting forward our views in the society as we study the great approches of wollstonecraft and others. It really does emphasize the real world issues. The exams are also based on the curriculum specifically with some opinion based questions. The exams are conducted at the end of every semester.
Internships Opportunities
Many companies like accenture, deloitte and other marketing companies provide internship opportunities to skilled students. But these opportunities are favoured mostly on bcom or computer science students and there are less options for humanities students which makes it difficult but nonetheless the college seniors provide guidance and opportunities for everyone which helps in getting a good internship for initial years.
Placement Experience
The college has its own separate placement cell which provides internship and job opportunities to students in various tech and other companies like accenture, deloitte and wipro. So according to their own skills the students can get selected from the college itself. The cell also conducts various sessions on cv or resume making and seminars with distinguished personels to provide guidance to other students.
Fees and Financial Aid
I am a student of BA programme history with political science and my course fee per year is 31750 rs and there is no additional or hidden charges for any course. Although the examination fee is to be submitted separately which depends on whether your subject is practical or theory. Other than that there is no specific fee that is to be paid. Many scholarship opportunities are provided for students of different categories like sc/st/ews etc.
Campus Life
The campus is small but peaceful at that. There is an auditorium, a seminar hall, conference hall and sports complex all of which serves the purpose for various events. There are many societies like dance, music, fashion, poetry and other ngos and organisations which help students in enhancing their skills and taking a leadership role apart from textbook studies. The societies also conduct inter college seminars and competitions which helps them to interact with other college students. Many sports competitions or activities are also conducted for sports enthusiasts and the college also provides admission on eca basis.
Admission
Other that this i applied to other du colleges only but could not make it due to my score. But i don't regret coming to the college as the environment here is better and not toxic which makes it easier to survive college life. For my course the cut off was 722 for general category in the second round. The admission process was fairly simple with just accepting the college and paying the fees it wasn't complicated as such. To apply in this or any other other du college the student needs to give cuet and make a very well preference list.
Faculty
The political science faculty is really good and interactive. They like teaching with perspectives as it should be in political science and let us stumulate our brains and put forward our opinion without denouncing it. We have mun sessions and group discussions in class which makes it more exciting. The history department teachers are a bit bore but still good at what they do. The teaching staff is really supportive and teaches at our pace using both hindi and english for students from both medium to understand. Overall the staff is better than most of the north campus colleges.
Interview Experience
There was no interview or group discussion for the admission and the only exam revelant to the admission is cuet which is for all the du colleges. The exam is objective based and includes the syllabus of 11 and 12th grade subjects which has to be chosen by the students themselves. The exan is fairly simple if prepared well.
Night Life
The north campus of du is a full fledged student area and so is considered safe and secure to mive around at evenings. The area has many cafes, gyms and shops to keep the students entertained and engaged. The area also has parks and gardens which is serene. But most of all the presence of so many students encourage other students to go out more and make new friends which makes them more confident. Many places close up at night but their are libraries and cafes that are open all night as well but the hostel timings are restricted for the safety. Overall the campus area is fun and exciting.
