What Students Say
Likes
- The faculty is great and all the teachers explain things, classes are also conducted regularly
- The infrastructure is really good. We have AC in all the classes, the projectors, desks and computers are all up to date and functioning.
- The sports complex is just awesome. It looks like it is out of a movie.
Dislikes
- The timetable is very unplanned and sometimes we have classes from 830am to 6pm with just half hour break in between
- The college culture is very toxic and competitive. All the students are overachieving hence some students may find it hard to adjust.
- The cafeteria food is average at best. They have recently upgraded it to systemized online orders but the food quality has changed with catering
Course Curriculum Overview
The curriculum is relevant to some extent but also includes several topics that are outdated. The college follows the same curriculum are other DU colleges. One thing is that the syllabus is too vast compared to the semester duration, so often teachers are unable to cover it in class. The finance syllabus is closely linked to the CFA syllabus so that is an added advantage.
Placement Experience
Placements are offered by the college, and companies like Deutche Bank, KPMG, Deloitte, BOFA, visit the campus. Last year, the highest package was 35LPA and the average package was 13LPA. Usually the students are getting placed as Analysts in these firms. About 50% of the total students are able to secure placements. However, due to the college alumni network and brand name, everyone can secure a job externally as well. I am planning on giving CAT and securing admission to IIM to pursue MBA, as are many of my peers. Others are planning to do CA or UPSC.
Fees and Financial Aid
Our fees per year as general student is around 30K but it is increased about 10% every year approx. The exact fee paid for this year was 31280 INR. For other categories, it is about 28-29k annually. Up to full scholarship can also be availed through scholarship programs. There is also 'Earn while you learn program' on merit cum need basis
Campus Life
Our college fest, Crossroads is one of the best in DU circle and it is typically held in April-May. There are over 50 societies in the college which provides you ample opportunity to get engaged in student activities and also an active student council. The society culture is a bit obsessive and every student is engaged in one thing or the other. Hence, some find it toxic as well. The college library is automated with computer check in and check out with wide availability of all kinds of books( even fiction and philosophy). So extracurriculars can be done by joining the respective societies (Dramatics, Dance, Fine arts) and sports is managed by the sports committee. Trials are held for all sports for the freshers.
Admission
I had gotten admission in NMIMS, Symbiosis Pune, St. Xaviers Mumbai, St. Xaviers Kolkata. However, I chose SRCC because it is by far the best commerce college in India. It was my dream and my first choice and I was beyond happy when I got the Acceptance letter. The admission is done through the CUET-UG exam conducted by NTA. For B.com(H), we have to opt for the subjects Accountancy/Math, Economics, Business Studies, English. Each subject is for 200 marks so the total comes to 800. The cutoff is 780 for general category. Once scores are declared, colleges are allotted on basis of preference lists prepared during the DU counselling process.
Faculty
So the faculty is mostly very friendly and try their best to clear the concept. Specially, some highly qualified faculty like Ms. Rachna Jawa and Ms. Dipika Bansal are great guides and help you out with other things also apart from studies. Each subject includes 160 marks, out of which 90 are for the sem end exams and 70 are internal marks( with the faculty) Unfortunately most teachers are not liberal with these internal marks so you are engaged with activities, presentations, assignments and tests during the whole semester for these 70 marks. The end sem exams are medium difficulty.
