Remarks
I took admission in 2020 on a merit basis which is how admissions are done for most of the UG courses. The cutoff of shaheed bhagat singh for geography honors was around 90 percentage in 2020 which was higher than previous years. A large number of students apply for DU, the numbers increase every year, making DU one of the most sought after colleges in the country. The cutoff have started to even go to 100 percentage in top colleges.
Course Curriculum Overview
I chose Geography because after 12th I wanted to pursue civil services and i had planned to take geography as optional in UPSC and also, I had interests in geography more than any other subjects which might overlap with UPSC syllabus. Faculty in the college aren't very qualified IMO but it doesn't really impact if you are serious about your studies. Semester exams are easy to get thorough and teachers do take test before main exams. Overall one can easily achieve good marks.
Placement Experience
The placements in college are average. One can easily access the placement records on the official college website. Most of the students who take admitted in DU, come to delhi with vision for UPSC as delhi is hub for it. So students start their preparation from 2nd and 3rd year and they don't normally care about placements as these companies don't offer big money.
Fees and Financial Aid
The fee is highest for geography department in the college and it's also the best department. I have paid around 8k each year. Also those who wish to get scholarship, college releases notification for student aid fund, for which student have to fill the form and attach the required documents and then college calls them for a brief F2F meeting which is just a formality and then you get the scholarship in your bank account.
Campus Life
The infrastructure of the college is really beautiful. Library might just be the best part of it, which is well equipped. The classrooms, on the other hand are the worst part of the college. Benches aren't well furnished, classroom isn't clean. If you enjoy extra curriculum activities then you're gonna love it here. There are of societies and social gatherings which literally take place every day.
