Course Curriculum Overview

3.5

DU has one of the best curriculum in the country for most art courses including literature. And so it was decided for me! The course covered almost the entire length of english literature but could include a little bit more of Indian literature in Delhi. There will be a lot of feminism and marxism, among other things.

Internships Opportunities

No. If you are looking for an internship, you must look for it on your own. There is absolutely no support from college. But you can't expect so much from a government college.

Placement Experience

1.5

You have to work on your own to procure a placement that suits your aspirations. Especially so for the literature course. However you can apply at CPC for placement and you do stand a chance for placement if you must get a job. That is how it works for most colleges at DU.

Fee Structure And Facilities

DU college and pretty cheap, almost free. The tuItion fees was only 8000 rupees per year and that was it. You also had to pay examination fee every six months for the semester examinations which was about 500 rupees. So it was pretty basic. If you have a back paper, then you'd have to pay more than that, depending on the number of papers.

Fees and Financial Aid

No. None that I am aware of. They did give out prizes sometime to merit students and outstanding students, but that was barely anything to be counted as scholarship.

Campus Life

4.5

Campus life is great. Although it is placed in a residential area, being an off campus college, there are a few market areas around for hangout places. Locality has a few restaurants, street food, basic shops for stationaries , dry cleaners and everything you'd need.

Exam Structure

It was regular. Semester exams every six months. The syllabus once taught in a semester is not repeated in any other examination. Just the same pattern as every college in Delhi university. Three hour exam pattern, no labs, you could give back exams if you don't pass an exam. Exam fee of around 500 per semester was charged.

Admission

I cleared the cut off for the college, went to college on the admission day, cleared the formalities and secured the form. It was a lengthy process but well managed. You had to go to the office, collect your admission form, fill the form and submitted it with the necessary documents. After the documents were verified and you had to submit the fees.

Faculty

3.5

English department has a decent faculty with some really amazing teachers. I would not know much about other courses. Specifically Mr. Vinod Verma and Mrs. Mona Sinha, to name favourites. It was great reading and learning literature, picking up like I did, understanding it like I had never before. It was a great learning experience.

Placement Experience:

The placement opportunities are mainly for commerce stream departments but the humanities stream also are offered internship from the government ministries such as ministry of culture and Home ministry. There are many private companies that come to offer placements. The students from 3rd year in particular apply for internships. The highest package iffered is 500000 and the average is 250000. About 45% students get placements. My plan after getting the degree is to go for higher studies.

As a future law student philosophy was one of the options which was good to opt. Secondly, comparatively less people opt it and it can be one of the better choices if you are preparing for upsc and taking it as an optional. Teaching can be made more interactive as the topics are really interesting

Remarks:

Positive : the faculties are good and I could say our college is the meeting place of various cultures ranging from Kerala to jammukashmir Negative: the infrastructure is poor. Labs and libraries are not so good. And there are stray dogs who often steps into classes and make us afraid. College is not fully air conditioned but is on processing.
