Inside Hansraj college: A holistic experience of academics, placements and campus life

I have an interest towards marketing and business domains. So, that was my motive to choose this course. The curriculum contains practical aspects like giving presentations, assignments, researching, and many more activities that prepare students to face the real world. If the teaching methods are made a little more practical, then I think that it will be really beneficial for all. We have just 2 exams in a year, each at the end of a semester. The difficulty level is easy-to-moderate.

Hansraj College has a dedicated internship cell that helps students find internships scross various fields, including finance, marketing, human resource, research, and even creative roles like videography and baking. Internships through the college can vary in stipends, with some roles not offering any stipend while others can provide upto Rs 50000 per month. Additionally, internships act as stepping stones to full-time job placements after graduation, with Hansraj's strong reputation attracting recruiters from large corporations like EY, Wipro, Deshaw etc.

6th semester students are eligible for placements. The various companies that come for recruitment are the big 4, deloitte, google, and many more.... And about 200-300 offers were made for my course. The highest placements go upto Rs 36 LPA and average placements go upto Rs 9 LPA. Almost 80-90% students get placed in my course. I wish to go for an MBA after my graduation.

The campus life is the best part of being a hansarian. We have our annual fest Confluence which is literally one of the best fests of whole DU. The fest season begins in January and stays till March. Apart from these, departmental fests are held all throughout the year. Anyone with a college ID card can issue books. The library is very big and contain a large number of books and material. The classrooms are fully air-conditioned with a blackboard in each. We also have a projector in each classroom. The rooms are quite spacious and have good ventilation. There are many student run societies and these are really important to enhance the skillset of the students. They provide practical experience and have a positive impact on your resume.

I applied to Banaras Hindu University and Allahabad University and got selected in both. Yet, I still preferred Hansraj college(Delhi University) over them because DU is far better than other colleges. No, I did not get rejected in any university. For admission in Delhi University, you need to give the Common Undergrad Entrance Test or CUET. Afterwards you are allotted colleges based on your test scores. The cutoff for my college and course was 770(for general), 752(for SC and ST), 654(for PWD). The overall admission experience was okay. The CUET exam was conducted properly and students had to face a lot of issues.

There is 1 teacher for approximately 50 students. So, the teacher-to-student ratio is quite good. The faculty is very friendly and can be approached anytime whatsoever. Speaking of the commerce faculty, I liked Dr Sudesh Kumari the most because of her style of teaching and interacting with students. Till now, there is no faculty member that I didn't like. All professors are absolutely fabulous here. We have our end semester exams twice a year. The difficulty levels are moderate to easy. Almost everyone clears the exams. The course curriculum includes both theoritical and practical aspects making it one of the best.
