My experience at DAC College Chandigarh till now

The course is efficient and helpful to make the interested students get proper knowledge about the subject. I chose this course just because I like economics very much. Now, the faculty members are well-read and written in their particular subject fields. But most of the time classes are not held on time or the teachers delay coming to classes. Also sometimes teachers remain absent from classes without even giving any message. But as long as we talk about the education and qualifications of the teachers, they are good and the teaching method is also efficient and healthy. Now, exams, which the students fear about but they are comparatively easy and difficult at the same time. But if you have even a little knowledge of the syllabus you can pass the exam with ease. Semester Exams are taken every 6 months and other short tests are held monthly and sometimes once in 3 weeks.

There are many top companies which our college claims to come and offer jobs to the students studying in it but it is partially true as per my knowledge. It is a rare chance that students who are not just extraordinary in the subject get a job in Infosys or tech companies like Tech Mahindra etc. But our college indeed provides a pathway for its students to get into these companies but the placement rate is lower than in other colleges. But the college is not bad at all in this field as many colleges out there can't even claim to get their students into big companies like these.

Our college provides job placements and internship opportunities in the college. As far as it is concerned there was a sudden increment in job placements from the college and many companies from different spheres like computer, IT, Telephone, communication, etc. are provided. As available on the internet, the truth is that offers up to 3-4 lakh per annum are on averagely provided and the highest packages are up to INR 20 LAKH per annum. Approximately 23-25% of students are placed annually in different companies. However, after getting a degree I do not want to pursue the job but I want to home my skills and experience and put them into my family business.

The fees are not so much and the course is easily affordable even for the lower middle class. I'm not saying that the fee structure is very great but at least the college is cost-friendly when it comes to studies or other activities. Our college is known for its very good psychology classes and this course is best studied in our college as far as it is known. So if you are interested in doing a master's in psychology, our college should be on your top list. But as far as the truth is concerned, our college doesn't provide good scholarships or jobs. I didn't hear about any financial assistance given to any student in our college.

Our college fest was just held recently and conducted in winter mostly but it was boring for the people who were not part of any event or program. But our college does provide different activities and sports and games on campus. The campus life is very colorful and cheering and the campus is ragging free as far as visible. Our college provides a basketball court, badminton hall, football ground and even a shooting range which is paid for. The campus is best known for its cricket coaching and it is best if you want to have a career in cricket. Big cricket stars like Sachin Tendulkar's son come to play cricket at our college sometimes. Many big Olympic stars like Neeraj Chopra or big cricket star Kapil Dev were pass-outs from DAV college Chandigarh. Classrooms are spacious and comfortable and a good studying environment is offered. Different clubs like Raah the Library Club, PSA Political Club and Reading Club, etc. are made to connect with every student with different interests.

I took admission 1 month late and the classes started to run at that time. All the students have to contact the Dean if they are late in taking admissions and to get admission the student must get a percentage above 60% in the 12th class. The students were struggling to get admission but if you have a good percentage, it's easy to get admission. Yes!! Now as I want to opt for Economics honors we can get it from the second year of college as the college checks your eligibility that whether the student is good in the subject field or not. The student must get above 60% in the respective subject. Reservation benefits are also provided but as I had a good percentage, I didn't have to avail myself of that. Yes if you are having late admission you must have to pay for late admission fee which is 3-4 thousand rupees extra than the normal fees. The admission process could be improved more if the college released separate forms than just CUET which are easily available on the internet.
