PGDAV College, B.A ( ENGLISH ) HONOURS

Reviewed on Sep 5, 2015

Remarks

It has a laid back attitude people don't really care about anything that goes inside the college.

Entrance Preview

I got admissions based upon my Percentile in standard 12th i opted this college as it was nearest to my place.

Course Curriculum Overview

All Composite and Effective. It had literature from around the world and we learned about literature from the dark ages, romanticism, modern literature and post modern literature.

Placement Experience

Placements were also restricted to certain cream courses such as Economics Honours and MBA. Companies did visited the campus and few got recruited.

College Events

2.5

There were a lot of events that kept happening at P.G.D.A.V College most of them were cultural and sports. Our college was ranked highest in sports activities.

Fee Structure And Facilities

Cheap not even feasible only 5000 rs per year as far as I remember fees is not at all High at D.U Colleges compared to other private colleges that ask for lakhs.

Fees and Financial Aid

No Idea i have no idea about the scholarships provided at the college. However there were sports quota and dance quoata during the admissions.

Campus Life

1.5

Campus Life is a wonderful experience one should utilize it completely and open up to various activities try new things and not restrict yourself to books. I made a mistake by never participating during any Fest or Functions and I regret it.

Hostel Facilities

2.5

I never stayed at hostels mess food was not very healthy i prefered not eating at the college canteens the canteen was not hygenic either.

Alumni/Alumna

There is alumuni network but I never went back to college as I started working soon after the college. But there is a almuni section of the college that is working hard to keep students connected who have passed out.

Exam Structure

Chilled out exams with Internals once a year. There was not much burden of assignments and regular tests as such. It was a great course and great learning.

Faculty

2.5

Faculty was Great. Amita Kaushik Mam, Suresh kumar Garg sir and many others who made class come alive always. Our subjects were interesting too but teachers were very supportive through out.

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.

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

Honest review of ddu

Likes

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.

I was given this college on the basis of the score in the CUET Exam which i gave after my 12th. It was a tough exam i would say because compiting with 20 Lac plus students for just a seat in DU is not an easy task. While preparing the prefference sheet and combinations for the college in the admission process was a confusing task. So i select all the cobinations of courses and colleges which i was eligible and then i also select my course and college, but i never thought that i would get it, still though i was happy that i get to study in one of the DU college. I applied to a lot of DU colleges and there courses. I would say it was'nt an easy one, bt still get to study here is a great opportunity....Read More
