What Students Say

Likes

The night life is mesmerizing. Having chai with friends at dhabas in night is a pure bliss.
The badminton courts at some of the hostels are really good.
Various public talks organised helps to develop rational thinking among students.

Dislikes

Too much of politics destroying the image of JNU.
Speeding bikes on roads at nights are quite scary.
Library is always full and it's really difficult to get a seat there

Course Curriculum Overview

4.5

I was somewhat intrested in Germany its language and culture and JNU seemed to be best to pursue in degree in this intrest. The faculty:student ratio is 1:16 which is quite good considering JNU is a research institute. All the faculties are PhD holders in the field and their teaching methods are impressive. The first semester is usually smaller than the later ones but it went all well with the syllabus being completed on time.The test papers are easy and doable if you attend the classes properly.

Class Size: 48Course Fees: INR 268 per year

Fees and Financial Aid

The course fee for BA(Hons) German in JNU is the cheapest in all of India i.e. Rs. 268. However that does not affect the quality of teaching here. Schlorships like MCM(Merit cum Means) are also available by stundents whose anual income is below 2 Lac.

Campus Life

4.5

All of the schools or centres have their separate freshers party. Centre of German Studies in particular also conducts German Week in which famous personalities like German ambassador come and see the students perform various co-curricular activities. JNU Central library also known as BR Ambedkar Central Library is a home to infinite books. The classrooms are air conditioned and have proper lighting. The sports clubs are not so active however there's a stadium in the campus where you can play football, basketball, volleyball,etc. The university politics is quite famous and various study groups ,public talk groups are also there.

Admission

There's no particular eligibility for the course.You need to score good in GT and English papers of CUET. The cutoff for BA(Hons) German this year was 86%. The application form is available at the site jnu.ac.in. I got admission through EWS category but there's not much of a difference from General Cutoff. There are a lot of student helpdesks available for application form filling and other things.

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

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.

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.

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.
