My Time at ARSD : Pros and Cons

I have chosen to get admission into Atma Ram Sanatan Dharma College becouse it has consistently ranked among Delhi University's top colleges in various disciplines and apart from this the faculty members of ARSD have impressive academic backgrounds and research experience. All teachers teaches us with real life examples and the society of this college makes our personality devolop and ready for real-world applications. You will definitely feel that this college is overcrowded infact alone B.A program has 183 students in it's batch which makes it difficult for students to get personal attention by teachers. We have to giver our semester exams in every 6 months including internal assessments and college authorities are so strict about timming of these examinations as these are pre decided by the upper authorities of Delhi University and students are informed about this in every year's academic calendar. Level of exam is moderate from last few years.

B.A Program at Atma Ram Sanatan Dharm College, Delhi University is a course of duration 3 years and fees for the complete course is rs.53,490 approx for general category students. It may increase from 2025 as per current situations. College also gives fee concession and many scholarship such as Taneja Foundation Scholarship for all students, Sultan Chand memorial scholarship for B.Com (Hons.) students, Sultan Chand Dropadi Devi Memorial Scholarship for B.Com (Hons.) 1st Year students, Dr. Usha Aggarwal Tejaswi Scholarship for B.Com Program 2nd and 3rd Year Students, Rukman Tara Memorial Prize for Bsc.

There are so many fests going on in the college around the year like Vibrance (Annual cultural fest) which helds in February-March, ARSD Premier league (annual sports fest) usually helds in January- February, Tide (annual college fest) is the biggest fest in Arsd in a year and at last Tide ARSD witnessed around 40-50k students in this fest even this big college felt so small that day.

I haven't applied for any other college as i was aiming for Delhi University. So firstly i gave the cuet examination and after the results Delhi University opened it's CSAS portal which they call Common Seat Allocation System after registering on the portal all DU aspirants were asked to prepare a preference sheet in which you tells du your college preference and course preferences after which they go for their 3rd round known as seat allotment round and in round 1 i got Delhi College of Arts and Commerce but i opted for an upgrade becouse the location of that college was very odd and infrastructure wise DCAC is not so good. In second allotment round i got ARSD and i froze my allotted seat as i was happy with my allotment. I paid the fee and started attending college regularly.

I choose to do B.A Program as I want to prepare for some government exam which require minimum graduation as eligibility. Teachers-Students ratio ine Atma Ram Sanatan Dharma College is so good that it allows students for personalized attention which helps them to clear their doubts and in addition teachers maintain a very friendly behaviour with students which make us students more comfortable with our teachers and make it easier for us to approach our teachers. Exam of every semester including internal assessments are conducted by college on dates that were pre informed to us in each academic calendar and the level of examination is maintained on moderate level from past few years
