What Students Say
Likes
- The campus, the open life, the opportunities, the people here, my friends, the idea of dressing as per our convenience, my professors.
- I really liked that DU provides an environment where students can operate as per their preferences, they have the right to do and speak as per their opinion, the mindset is very liberal and logical.
- The fests are not mere functions but a massive jam up and an opportunity for one to socialize and establish own self as an independent identity.
Dislikes
- Attendance is a major issue in Delhi University now a days, the administration acts even strictly. Students whose attendance was under 66% legit received calls from the authority warning them.
- You do things as per you information, nobody tells you where and how the opportunities are open!
Course Curriculum Overview
My initiatial preferences were either Bachelors in history hons or English hons followed by other subjects, while the category of colleges that I opted for was limited (only those combinations that I specifically wanted) , and after the list was out I was given English honors in one of the prestigious colleges in North campus ( nonetheless, off campus for a bit) - Indraprastha college for women! Cutoff, was on peak here ( 98% for English) . It has one of the most beautiful campus, with a very studios and happening environment ( ngl, gets boring sometimes) . Students take regular classes ( only because of attendance -_-) . The faculty here is understanding ( but the administration and management are a bit sus) . Professors are cool (not so cool hehe)and teach us excellently. Our semester was short in the 1st year ( 3 months / sem) and we were burdened with new subjects so exam schedule went hectic . Nonetheless we covered it all!
Internships Opportunities
We recive it from various NGO's ( i.e. muskurahat foundation), small and big organizations ( gs studio, learnx, etc.)that offer roles with or without stipend. Roles differ, for instance being a content writer, campus ambassador, PR manager, etc. While stipend starts from 1000INR plus the incentives!
Placement Experience
I'm in my 2nd year so we only aware about internships opportunities. So it solely depends on the individual that if they're doing well enough while in their intern months which may also lead them a permanent position in the same company. As far as my plans are concerned, I'm working on taking up internships and getting placed as early as possible.
Fees and Financial Aid
The fee is a bit high I would say ( 20,000/A) considering the fact that it is a government college. Scholarship wise, I have mixed reviews, that is because I applied for a scholarship initiated by the Delhi University itself for the students of the EWS category which promised to reduce 50% or 100% college fee. However, I was still ordered to submit the fees and when I showed them proof they said the COLLEGE is not affiliated with the scheme. I don't know if what they said was legit but this was all they stated. Apart from this, they do provide different scholarships of there own( I don't know much on that). About campus jobs, I'm unaware on this topics, but we always have internship opportunities in circulation throughout ( both- with or without stipend) coming from various companies and organizations, which is always good to explore!
Campus Life
College life here is decent and enjoyable ( totally depends on the person and how you make through your years). We have various society's and one can explore a lot here but again it depends of the individual. Shruti is the annual fest which is just what one demands for! ( it turned chaotic in my 1st year due to some mishaps) . Nonetheless, the environment is peaceful - we have no. of books ( only course related -_-) and the library is vast. As for sports, we have full support from the administration ( little to less coaches! ). I'd just like to say, everything would solely depend on the student, how much determined they are to gain something and nobody will tell you about all those competitions which takes place elsewhere, You yourself will have to search up and go through your thoughts and executions!
Admission
I got my college through the entrance exam ( CUET). We passed school in the 5th month of the year 2022. However, because the concept of CUET was introduced recently hence, the process of admission took a lot of time than the previous years. After the 12th results were out, we were to fill the registration form which was out through the official website that is cuet.samarth.ac.in , while the total fee taken as for my subjects ( I opted for 6 subjects in 2 slots) was 1200 INR. After all the exam process was over, we were supposed to register on the official site of DU - admission.uod.ac.in which got linked up with our cuet information automatically ( i.e. the results from cuet was displayed in the du site which showed various combination of course we could opt further) . After results, we were displayed a preference list on the du website itself, where we could choose colleges and combinations per our convenience hierarchy wise .
