Lady Irwin College, B.Sc {Hons.}, Food Technology

Reviewed on May 3, 2021(Enrolled 2019)

Remarks

I joined LIC fam in year 2019, I had a lot of doubts in my head regarding my college but till this day I haven't regretted any single moment of being in this prestigious college. Lady Irwin is an all girls college and situated in mandi house, very next to the heart of Delhi, CP. Lady Irwin helped me in realizing my true self, a more confident version of mine. Faculty is very very supportive here, the best guidance you can get in any college. I'm glad I chose Lady Irwin College as my alma meter. A very very proud Irwinite.

Course Curriculum Overview

4.5

I have a very keen interest in food processing from the very beginning and Lady Irwin College has helped me to develop my interest more vividly for the same. Faculty: student ratio is 1:4 for the Food Technology department, i.e., very satisfactory given the condition of other DU colleges. Most of Faculty members have completed their doctorate in Food Technology and have satisfactory teaching experience. They are very supportive and helpful. Term exams were on time and they were of moderate level.

Class Size: 37Course Fees: INR 26660 per year

Internships Opportunities

3.5

Summer internships are being provided in Mother Diary, DMS, bakery industry. Most of them are non paid. Other than internships, students here get to work under professors for research products as well.

Placement Experience

3.5

Campus placement is a little off from last 2-3 years. But internships are being provided in top notch companies like Nestle, Britannia, DMS, Mother Diary, Patanjali and so on. Most of the students opt for higher studies after graduation. Some of our seniors has got into Niftem, BHU, IIFT and other prestigious institutions for their post graduation.

Fees and Financial Aid

The fees is a bit high. Paying 26k annually for a course in government college is something beyond affordability for low income group students. Even though there are a lot of scholarships are being provided by the college for needy students, Lady Irwin College is more on a costlier side.

Campus Life

4.5

A DJ evening is hosted by the Students' Association of Lady Irwin College in the month of October to welcome the freshers. And then comes the Annual fest of Lady Irwin College 'Quintessence', it is one of the most talked fest in DU circuit. Lady Irwin College has a huge library where any kind of books and journals can be availed by faculty members and students. There is basketball and badminton team in college trained by top notch coaches. There are 14 societies in Lady Irwin College; Dramatics, Dance, Music, Literary, Eco Club and many more.

Hostel Facilities

3.5

Hostels are offered on merit basis. The fees is to be submitted semester wise. There is an aura of discipline in the hostel premises. Food is more or less on the average side, but best anyone could get away from their home. To conclude Lady Irwin College hostel is 'A home away from home'.

Hostel Fee: INR 85000 per year

Dream college or not ?

Likes

Greenery of college campus and surrounding areas
Close metro access and other basic amenities
Diverse crowd which allows good exposure overall

Dislikes

Wifi Network is slow and not available at all places in campus

Course Curriculum Overview:

Life science includes zoology botany and chemistry considering this combo I think the study material is quite okay in terms of topics chemistry connects school teaching with one step ahead learning . Zoology provides new insights on various topics . Botany covers deeper understanding of syllabus . So overall it's good . Hands on lab work meets the demand of the subject . Also the topics taught match with the type of questions asked in exam. Difficulty level i would say it's moderate for botany and zoology but for chemistry is quite tough. Time management is a much needed skill for examination purpose. For course curriculum i would say more focus on current situation should be laid rather than history .

Dislikes

The whole structure of Admin office is underdeveloped, which utilizes a lot of our precious time.
Many of the College events are ill-organised.

Course Curriculum Overview:

The syllabus of Electronics Hons and Electrical Engineering is same but makes it different is how we perceive it. We study the syllabus with theoretical aspects while the engineers with practical aspects. We have a chance to opt for the 4th year, which only comprises of Research. One of the optionals is Generic Elective and if you take GE from same department for all semesters, you will attain a minor degree. The Faculties and whole curriculum is great but the other optionals require improvement. The other optionals only make the Student Life hectic, that stumbles the Student's focus from Course track.

Lady Irwin College "A College Of Dream"

During my tenure, we get admission through the percentage of our 12th board marks. However the polocies has changed now. For admission in our college now students has to attempt CUET UG exam and then have to score as per the cut off list. Application form. Our college offers only three course in graduation. Eligibility for Bachelors in Home science, students from any background (humanities, commerce, and science) can apply. But for B.Sc Honours and Bachelors in Food Technology students must have chemistry and physics in their 11th and 12th as its a complete science-based course. Cut off list generally goes 89-93% but seats are researved for ST/SC and OBC candidates. Admission form released on the website and its generally a simple form that ask for personal details, educational qualification, and documents as proof. After clearing cut off, college verify documents in physical form. This procedure takes time as college has limited 4-5 members in administration department....Read More

Good and nice college to opt for if one wants to be a dietitian.

Admission process was totally offline first i had to fill out the form for it then the cut off came for it in which i found my name. Then i go to college and completed further admission process by submitting my documents and submitting fees for the course. Admission in the course totally depends upon the merit list and no entrance is there for it. For reservation benefits i would say some seats are already reserved for sc students in every course so same goes in this course as well. Admission process was smooth overall....Read More
