Ramjas College : The truth from inside

DU takes admission on two bases. One is on the basis of merit i.e. marks in 12th standard. The other is through its entrance test i.e. DU JAT. Located at the heart of the north campus, Ramjas college has one of the biggest campuses. Ramjas College takes admission on a merit basis. The college is one of the tops under DU. It is especially known for its diversity and quality of arts and commerce courses. I took admission in B.A. program course. Ramjas is one of the only colleges to provide 3 categories of B.A. program courses ( category A, category B and category C) offering a variety of subject combinations to the students. I took admission in the C category of B.A. The program which has the highest cut offs. Under category Students can choose combination of any two subjects from maths/ economics/ philosophy/ Pol Science/ English/ Hindi / History. I took admission under the first cutoff(eco + maths) which was at 96 percent for my category. I scored 96 percent marks in 12th too.

B.A. program courses unlike Hons course provide students to study two different subjects at a time instead of one. It offers variety and choices to students to what to pursue further. Ramajs being one of the best colleges under DU for the B.A. program has excellent faculty members. The curriculum for the courses is well planned and laid out. Each semester introduces a variety of new topics to the students in the syllabus. They faculty members are well qualified and they know what they are teaching. The mode of teaching is mostly bi-lingual( hindi & english). DSince the classes are being held online d, different teachers have different methods of teaching. Some teach through power point slides, while others only give lectures. One thing that is a big problem in online mode at the college is the irregularity of the classes. The classes are very irregular. Teachers take class whenever they wish to. Sometimes days pass and no classes are taken. The exams are Open Book Exams and really easy

Since Ramjas college is a government college and comes under DU, therefore, for a student like me who belongs to general category the annual fees of the college is very much affordable and cheap. The college also provides admission on the basis of reservation. The fees for the reserved categories is much less and cheaper than general students. The college also provides national scholarships every year for students with good academic and extracurricular performance. It also distributes annual prizes on the bases of yearly perdormance of students

DU is currently conducting all it's classes online. Therefore, Ramjas college is also conducting classes online. Neither they are willing to open colleges soon despite corona's situation is under control. Currently, students have almost 0 campus life. Many students haven't visited college even once, Students are dying to get to college but it seems DU is not willing to finish its vacation. This is destroying a major part of students' campus life. However, Ramjas college is open for library use. The college has quite a big library with two floors. This includes a big rading hall. Books regarding almost every subject is available. Other than that various fiction books are also available at the library. As mentioned, since the colleges are closed there are no fest and extracurricular activities being held at the campus. Students are dying for this to happen tho. The college has various societies such as literary, drama, etc. Currently, fests are being held online.
