Course Curriculum Overview

4

There have been multiple complaints against the course structure of DU. As it remains outdated and refuses to incorporate newer elements of the literature of the present.

Internships Opportunities

5

So I completed two internships during my time at Stephen's - One was with Network18 CNN-IBN as a desk writer. This was an amazing oppirtunity for the wannabe journalist in me to understand the ropes of the world of journalism. It was an amazing experience enabled to better gauge my future cours of action as a writer. The second internship was with NSDC. An amazing team with even more amazing job profile.

Placement Experience

5

Campus placements are available for all semesters but the offers are more the students in third year. The offers came form many reputed companies like Deloitte, EY, NSDC and more. The highest packages offered were 24 LPA. Almost 75 to 80 percent students got the campus placement. I did not sit for the placement as I was beginning my preparation for UPSC.

Fees and Financial Aid

The entire fees for the course was 18,000 per semester. Based on the requirment of lab and other facilities for the Science and other course there were some additionals for the Science based courses. There were many scholarshi[ps and financial aids available, based on your community and financial stance.

Campus Life

5

Th annual college fest is called Harmony and it is a three day long festival of social event, cultural events, food and much more. The library has a large collection of books,s ome antique and in the library for over a century. Further the books are for a wide range of subjects and disciplines and in multiple languages. As for the facilities provided, all classrooms hav an AC, smart boards, projectors and more.

Admission

So I had applied to all colleges in DU, St Xavier's College in Bombay and Ambedkar University Delhi. With some whip of luck I got into JMC, Miranda, Xavier's, AUD and Stephen's. Personally I never imagined I would be getting into Stephen's. The admission process in Stephens during my time had three stages. First one is the cutoff. For my partciular subject the cutoff was 97.8. Then they issue a list of candidates eligible for the interview based on the cutoff. The second stage is the interview where a panel of four or five senior members of the college will rack your brains about different spheres of the subject you have chosen. I had interviews for two subjects History and English. Since I got in English I did not attend the History interview. The final part is the documentation and paying the fees. At this stage it is more of formality except in rare cases where there is an issue with the application or the documentation part.

Faculty

5

There were 9 faculties for our batch throughout the three years and we were 30 in a class. So there was a good 1:3 ratio between the faculty and the students. This is one of the foremaost reasons why the students graduated from this particular course however disinterested in the subject, cannot shy away from atleast a good understanding of the basics and in depth idea about the subject if interested. In particular I liked Themeem sir, Ann Susan Ma'am, Jaideep Sir, Ashley Sir, Hannah Ma'am, and Anju Ma'am. As for not liking I don't think there was anybody like that. The exams were according to the system of the University of Delhi, i.e. there were two exams in one semester - Mid-Semster Exam and End-Semester Exam.

Night Life

5

The entire campus is safe for nights and most of the vents, movie screenings and rehearsals, society meetups, etc happen at the night. So the college is never silent except in the wee morning hours. The hostel timings are till 10 pm but obviously there are some shortcuts. The gazebo, football ground, any of the lawns are a good place to be at night.

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

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.
