What Students Say
Likes
- One thing about Government college is that you might not have proper benches or working ACs but the faculty is top class. The classes were the favourite thing of my day. The teachers of BA(hons) English were all really helpful and intelligent.
- The engagement was effective with students of other courses as well. The college is an active place with multiple working societies where you can build connections and extra-curriculars as well.
- The classes allotted to students of English were the best in Arts building. They had working fans, lights and ACs. The reading room was well equipped and comfortable as well. Canteen had installed ACs but put them to use for a few days only.
Dislikes
- The canteen food for not upto the mark. There was a lot of compromise in terms of quality. The menu had 5-6 things only for about a year and only got updated when a new batch took admission.
- There were no ACs on the lower ground classrooms. The disabled children could not go to the upper floors since there was no lift either. They had to study in suffocating, humid classes.
- There is no placement opportunity. Although we have a student-run placement cell, the departments do not offer anything of the sort. You have to search and explore on your own as there no fore-guidance.
Course Curriculum Overview
The English Honors course is truly relevant. Literature teaches you about life, gives you the ability to judge(in good terms), be critical and decisive. I could suggest no improvements in the teaching methods. The faculty does their best, if the student js regular they'll get a hold of literature with expertise. The exam is easy to clear, not failing is easy, but scoring high is difficult. It's like they try not to fail the student but above that their marking is truly strict and honest.
Fees and Financial Aid
I paid ?14194/- per year for Bachelors in English Honors. The tuition fee being ?216 along with library fee of ?300. This was all included with other compulsory maintenance charges amounting to ?2320/-. The student fund charges fee was ?9290/- which included college security and services fee and library development fund along with sports and athletics, WDC, NCC, departmental societies, general amenities, ECA and other student activities fee and other minor fees. The university charges fee was ?2450/- which included welfare fund of ?250, Uni Dev fee of ?1200/-, Uni facilities and Service charges of ?1250, and other minor charges. There wasn't much difference in the fee structure of reservation seats except for the convenience fee of ?114 and GST of ?20. There were no scholarships. The fee has increased to ?14570/-.
Campus Life
The Annual fest of our college is conducted after diwali, one is conducted on diwali as well by the Cultural society. There are multiple fests conduct by other societies such as English Literary Association(which I was a part of) conducting a literary fest, Enactus conducting a business-related fest with lots of opportunities to participate in multiple firms, the placement cell conducting the annual placement fest. The library had a vast collection of books, I had almost every book I needed, even the expensive ones accessible in the library. The infrastructure for the fest was upto the mark, I personally had no problem with it. The infrastructure of our college was good.
Admission
I applied to Vivekanand College, DU before Rajdhani and got an admission there, then I switched because the faculty here was praised in high regards. This turned out to be true. My college's faculty can be compared with Shivaji college's faculty, only a few teachers over there are extremely good but here most of the teachers sre Excellent. Even through Shivaji College is ranked better than Rajdhani College. The eligibility for my course is a percentage of more than 55%. I got an admission through merit but now CUET exam is mandatory to get admission. The admission process was easy through the samarth portal.
Faculty
The faculty-to-student ratio is 4:13. The faculty is very approachable even after the college hours. I liked almost all the faculty including Bharti Sharma, Varsha Gupta, Sachidanand Jha, Akanksha Goswami, Rohit Pandey, Shafiqul Alam, Azhar, Saumya, Rachna Safarnama. All of their classes were extremely inclusive and rich. The course was worth it because of them. The course curriculum is relevant, it has a rich blend of literatures all around the world. Going from the basic classics to 20th century literature. There are 2 exams per year, mid sem and end sem. Clearing exams is pretty doable but scoring is difficult. 2-3 students could fail in each subject.
