Question 1

Which colleges in DU offer BCom Hons without math?

Accepted Answer

Every college at Delhi University offers B.Com (Hons) without including math in your best four, despite the fact that math should be a subject in your 12th grade.

It is to take into account that to be admitted to an undergraduate course that requires a specific subject or a group of subjects, candidates must have passed the subject/each of the subjects individually.

Question 2

What are DU college timings?

Accepted Answer

Delhi University has many colleges, and each college has its own schedule, but some of the things are consistent. It also depends on whether you were admitted to a morning or evening college.

The timings of morning colleges are - 8:30, 9:00, 9:30, and 10:00 AM

They usually end at - 12:30, 1:00, 1:30, 2:00, 2:30, 3:00, 3:30 PM.

It entirely depends on the scheduled college timing of each course. Some practical classes go on till 5 in the evening, as well. Timing is longer in colleges that only offer morning classes and do not offer evening classes.

Evening college classes begin at 1:00 PM, 1:30 PM, or 2:00 PM till 7.30 - 40 PM in the evening.

However, Saturday is unpredictable as few semesters conduct classes on Saturdays, as well and in some semesters, there are no classes on Saturdays.

Question 3

Are DU college fees really cheap?

Accepted Answer

There would have been no disagreement if it was stated that "excluding 1 college" DU's fee is considerably less after scrolling through the majority of the answers. On average, the North Campus colleges charge annual fees between 14 and 19 thousand a month, with the exception of St. Stephen's, which charges between 40 and 50 thousand a month. In contrast, this charge is considered too expensive for a college that is 90% or more government-funded. While a hostel student at Hindu or Miranda will need to budget 60–70k per year, attending Stephen's would cost you an astounding INR 1.4–1.6 lakhs per year (Note: it is called a residence, not a hostel in Stephen's).

This overpriced fee is exploitation, but once a student is enrolled in this college, they will actually understand the distinction between a residence and a hostel. However, the cost, which is practically online with a private college, is definitely unexpected.

The main cause of this is because the college only admits 300–400 students per academic year, totalling 1.2k students throughout all years and courses, hence the UGC funding to the college is proportionately lower. One can understand the kind of contrast it shows, both in fee collecting and the caliber of students, compared to other colleges with a crowd of 5–6k students.

Question 4

What is the scope of the BA programme from DU?

Accepted Answer

The B.A Programme is a well-known course at Delhi University. This course allows you to study a variety of subjects and is typically chosen by students who are undecided about their career paths. The B.A. programme includes courses in English, Hindi, Political Science, Economics, and History.

Here are some possible career paths:

After completing a B.A. programme, the majority of students pursue postgraduate studies in fields such as B.Ed. or M.A. There are numerous options available after earning an M.A. in Education. Candidates who complete this course are qualified for PGT positions, and elementary and secondary principalships in both private and public schools. Candidates who pass the NET/SET in education are also eligible for university-level teaching jobs in both private and public institutions. A B.Ed. degree, on the other hand, can only lead to a job as a teacher in a government or private school.
Another postgraduate degree pursued by students is an MBA. MBA programmes can lead to positions in private and public financial institutions.
Students who have completed their graduation are eligible to apply for civil service examinations as well as Bank PO exams.

You can apply for positions in the Union Public Service Communication such as IPS, IAS, IFS, and Indian Defense Service. Before deciding on a career path, consider your strengths (aptitude) and interests. Choose potential career paths based on your aptitude, interests, and personality characteristics. Going into journalism or fashion design without interest or passion in them, for example, will not get you very far.

Question 6

Which is better for UPSC CSE PREPARATION BA or BA Hons in political science from DU?

Accepted Answer

BA and BA Honors are both excellent choices for UPSC CSE. It will aid you in your preparation for the Prelims and Main exams.

In BA course, you must study three different subjects, such as political science, history, and geography, which means that 50% of the syllabus has already been covered, and if you choose Political Science as an optional subject, another 40% has already been covered. So taking a BA course will improve your chances.

Now, moving on to the BA (Hons), you will study political science in depth, which will help you in the Mains because, as we all know, the difficulty level of optional is higher than the Bachelor level but lower than the Master's level, so it will benefit you greatly. However, because you will only be studying two subjects in your bachelor's programme, you will have to study the third subject on your own.

Thus, you should pursue a BA General course. However, as everyone knows, UPSC is all about extreme hard work, luck, proper planning, guidance, and several other factors. Make your own decision and put in your best effort.
