Remarks

The admission process was very rigid as you have to move constantly after seeing your cutoff percentage den search for an accurate college for admission if you opt to choose Delhi University, admission is based on 12th percentage, you need to score good enough to be elected in the 1st or 2nd cutoffs if you belong to the general category.

Course Curriculum Overview

I chose BA. (Hons). Political Science because I like politics and polity and want to pursue law as a career. The faculty is Decent. Exams were held semester wise, twice a year. Passing is not that hard id Delhi University. But scoring well is a hard part of studying at Delhi University.

Class Size: 60Course Fees: INR 11000 per year

Placement Experience

3rd Year students can apply for the campus placement. Personally, I'm not interested in campus selection as I wanted to pursue my career in law so I have way far road to cover for it rather than waiting for campus placements.

Fees and Financial Aid

Fees are around 11000/- a year. The scholarship is for North East Students and students from Jammu and Kashmir. Campus jobs from companies like icici bank and many more. Various 3rd Party apps for travel booking jobs.

Campus Life

Life is adorable at DU We have every society regarding every social aspect. Big classrooms n a clean environment. Most probably all social groups n clubs are run by students. Good Infrastructure and a neat campus.

Likes

Flexible learning system, allowing students to manage their studies alongside other responsibilities.
Opportunity to pursue a degree from delhi university through open and distance learning.

Dislikes

Limited opportunities for regular classroom interaction and face to face engagement with teachers and fellow students.
Students pursuing distance learning may need to rely more on self-study and independent preparation
More regular communication, student support, and interactive academic activities would improve the overall learning experience

Course Curriculum Overview:

The BA English Honours curriculum at DU SOL is relevant and provides a strong foundation in literature and language. The course covers diverse topics that support academic learning and critical thinking. The flexible structure is suitable for distance-learning students. Adding more practical activities, updated study materials, and interactive learning opportunities could further improve the overall course experience.

The behavior of many teachers was quite rude and arrogant as if they were teaching us for free.

Infrastructure is not that good, college is a non dusu affiliated

Course Curriculum Overview:

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

The teaching faculty is really nice and polite. They usually help students even when u contact them after college hours.
The engagements and the quality of the social interactions in this college is also very good and very uplifting.
The quality of the infrastructure is very good compared to other colleges in du, considering its very new.

Course Curriculum Overview:

I chose this course because the thought of learning about the literature of the older times was pretty exciting to me while I was choosing the course. The curriculum however does prepares you if you want to continue ur academic journey in the English field.

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.
