Life at DU, mystery ride!

Curriculum was apt. But i felt that it could use an upgrade. Things were too theoretical and lacked practical knowledge. It was heavily based on theory knowledge. If only they could use more practical applications.

The fees during the first year was around 10-11 thousand. And during 2nd and 3rd year it reached up to 13-14k. There were scholarship available for students from economically weaker section. Other than the college fees, which is paid yearly, there is examination fees. Examination fees is 200 per subject and you have to pay for practical exams separately.

DU is full of events throughout the year. There are fresher parties, farewell parties, departmental fests, college fests, elections. So the campus is quite happening. Also there are multiple societies like drama society and music society where people can explore their talent. Overall campus is good for personality development.

I had applied for DU because of this prestige and fame. But it was only after I got into the college that I realised that it was not worth the hype. I feel state universities may serve the purpose better. Then only impressive thing about DU is it's fests and parties. Other than that it was just not worth it.

Faculty could have been better. Yes, there were a few teachers who taught us well. But on the other hand, some were not really that good. It felt like they lacked the required knowledge to enrich students themselves. There were regualrly scheduled internal and external exams. Internals were full of politics. And externals were not upto the mark. External exams are heavily based on PYQs.

Being in DU has its own advantages. Canteens and cafeterias are good. And if they couldn't serve the purpose, the college area always have a popular neighborhood famous for food. For example Hudsone Lane in the north campus and satya nikatan in the south. As i didn't apply for hostel, so I cant say anything about it.
