What Students Say

Likes

I liked the campus. It's small but it's good. There are tons of plants. I like college societies. Some societies are doing really well.
I liked the fest and the greenery present in my college.
I liked the crowd. I have many friends. I live the best moments of my life in zhdc.

Dislikes

I don't like the classrooms. There is a need to improve the water taps.
They are not opening the new building. Please open that
Faculty is average. Shortage of teachers.

Course Curriculum Overview

2.5

I choose this course because of my future plans. I am looking forward to taking PSIR as my optional subject in upsc. The faculty is average in my college. There is a shortage of teachers in my college. However, Professors are good and well-trained in their field. There are 2 term exams in a year. It is quite easy to pass them. You just need to go through previous years and you are well good to grace your exams.

Class Size: 65Course Fees: INR 9000 per year

Fees and Financial Aid

In my opinion fees at Delhi University is quite budget- Friendly. And also there are scholarship Programs for needy students. Students have to fill out a form and submit the required documents to avail the scholarship. The annual fee is 9000.

Campus Life

My campus is quite Friendly. The people here are good. You can find all types of people on the campus. The biggest fest held in my college is 'PANKHUDI' conducted by Aranya - The nature and environment society. The library is also quite good. There are tons of books. However, I want to mention the sport's faculties are not very good. We don't even have a ground.

Admission

It was a little bit complicated. I took admission on a merit basis. Eligibility for the course is above 90% in my college. So if you want to take admission in Political Science hons. then you must score above 90% in your 12th class. You can find the application form on the DU portal.

Likes

Affordable fee structure that makes higher education accessible to students from different financial backgrounds.
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.
