Delhi University - opportunities and cons

The course curriculum is quiet good, first year was focused on basics of psychology, research methods and statistical analysis, after that the subjects were more aligned towards different disciplines of psychology such as developmental psychology, organisational psychology and abnormal psychology, the courses were more theory based and focused on learning and research each semester included group researches in the respective subjects and practical applications of the knowledge were rather limited but provided a very deep understanding of the subject as applications are more focused upon in masters level. The teaching methods have been creative with various activities and different tasks which would help us understand real life applications of a concept thoroughly.

The fee structure is yearly based and everything is paid online , which is a smooth process , concessions are granted to students applicable to it, no hikes are done throughout the course , and job roles stipends etc are usually brought in through placement cell, but are the best packages which can be offered. Other than that living in a pg is more costly than the college itself , not all colleges offer hostels , but whichever do have minimal charges.

The campus life is very good, spring and autumn are very energetic throughout campus with fests all over the colleges, concerts and competitions are all the rage and it's a lot of fun. Libraries are mostly stocked with all the books a student will require for their courses with editiona dating back to very old to completely new, library is accessible throughout the week. All classrooms have smart boards, and some also have air conditioning. Extracurricular activities are very frequent their are lots of sports, lots of fests and society led events such as debates, poetry competitions, dances and music battles, photography exhibitions, social service is also a major part of the campus life. Students are given the opportunity to explore ll their interests as well as different social causes to support in the colleges such as period awareness, environmental awareness, animal care etc. overall it provides great personal development for students.

The Admission process was smooth, I was admitted in the 2nd cutoff list of the college , there were approximately 7-8 cutoff excluding sports and eca quota, the eligibility criteria stated everybody with marks equivalent or more than the cutoff, however if psychology was a subject 2.5 or 2 percentage were deducted, the application was applicable at du samarth portal, entrance exams weren't introduced at that point and admission was a really smooth process
