What Students Say

Likes

NIRF Ranking is number 2 in all of indian university
The course i have chosen is unique and has good placements

Course Curriculum Overview

4.5

Japanese language course isn't easily found in India. Less than 10 colleges provide bachelor and masters degree on Japanese language in India. JNU's Japanese Department is one of the finest amongst the country. The syllabus, though the book followed is a bit old, it covers a lot of aspect of the language. On top of that, the opportunities to get scholarship is high only in JNU. After 2nd year, students get the opportunity to go to Japan as foreign exchange students or as research scholars.

Class Size: 32Course Fees: INR 1056 per year

Fees and Financial Aid

Each semester, a student will have to pay around 150-200rs as the semester registration fee. MCM is a scholarship provided by JNU for students of lower income sector of the society. Hostel fee will be 6000rs (4500rs being the security deposit). The students are expected to pay their mess bills every month.

Campus Life

Festivals in JNU is conducted by the centre not by the University. For example, the Japanese Centre conducts Kizuna, a cultural festival. JNU is also very politically active of a campus. There circles and clubs run by students but are difficult to find.

Hostel Facilities

For bachelors and masters students, double bed room is provided. Mess food will be changed every month depending on the students needs and demands. There are also students who stay in PG or rent a room in Munirka (the nearby locality)

Hostel Fee: INR 6000 per year

Admission

The candidates have to clear CUET(UG) with the main subjects being English and General Test. Candidate (atleast 17 of age) must have completed 12th grade with atleast 60% of marks. Reservations according to caste is also considered.

Faculty

Around 7 professors are in the centre, compared to many other places, the faculty to student ratio is low. Most of the faculties are highly qualified. One on one approach time is also available, which makes it easier for the communication between the faculties and the students

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.
