What Students Say

Likes

The college has students from all backgrounds which made is easy to interact and make friends
Canteen is very neat and hygienic, food was really yummy
Teachers are very cooperative and understanding

Dislikes

Attendance Policy was very strict even if you are in any society
If you are in societies make sure you will be losing a lot of classes and will suffer in studies

Course Curriculum Overview

The BA course in Maitreyi College is academically enriching and well structured. It provides a strong theoretical foundation in both the disciplines but could benefit from more practical exposure. Why I chose this course? Economics covers key areas like micro, macro and stats while English in communication, critical thinking and research skills.

Class Size: 70Course Fees: INR 15000 per year

Fees and Financial Aid

Maitreyi College, Delhi University- Review & Fee Structure Maitreyi College offers quality education at an extremely affordable cost. I pursued BA in Economics & English and my batch had around 70 students, all girls. The faculty is excellent and the campus is vibrant with various extracurricular activities. Fee Structure (Approx.) Total Course Fee (3 years): 18000-20000/- INR Fees has seen a slight increase but remains one of the lowest in DU. Scholarships & Financial Aid: 1. DU Merit-cum-meet Scholarship: for top performing students. 2. Post Matric Scholarship for SC/ST & OBV students. 3. EWS Fee Waiver: for financially weak students. Final Verdict: Maitreyi College is affordable, academically strong & a great place for growth, if you want budget-friendly DU college with quality education, this is a top choice.

Campus Life

Maitreyi offers vibrant campus-life with fests like Rhapsody in February-March, a rich library and big classrooms, sports and clubs like Dramatics, Debating and NSS fostering growth and engagement in the college

Admission

I chose Maitreyi College for its affordable fees, quality faculty and safe campus. I applied to Venky & Gargi but didn't meet their cutoffs. Admission was merit based via DU cutoff list. I scored 92.5%

Faculty

The faculty to student ratio was 5:70, the faculties and staff were very friendly and understanding. They were very approachable in times of need. My favourite was my Economics teacher back then, due to her my Ecomand the basics are still clear even today. There were teachers who were partial too and practiced favouritism. The exams happened semester-wise, which make is twice every year.

Night Life

Maitreyi has no hostel, campus shuts by 5:00 PM after the classes. Gym, library and canteen also close by then. Nearby Satya Niketan and CP are top hangouts. Safe locality but night life is limited for the students.

Kamala Nehru College: Where Opportunity awaits

Likes

I really liked the environment of the college as there was a diverse set of students coming from across the country.
The faculty was top notch and was very dedicated and knowledgeable. If we faced any issue they would come up to help us deal with it.
Also i liked the infrastructure of the college as they recently added a new building and have improved a lot in sports equipments and facilities.

Dislikes

The admin section of the college is very slow and it is a hassle to deal with them. Half a time they are either on a break or on lunch.
There is sometimes non availability of chairs in classrooms like there are approx 40 chairs in each classroom but if the strength of the class is more then we have to borrow it from the next classroom.
Also you will have to take up some additional course which sometimes feel unnecessary but its not only in this particular college but in all the colleges under University of Delhi.

Placement Experience:

The placement opportunities are mainly for commerce stream departments but the humanities stream also are offered internship from the government ministries such as ministry of culture and Home ministry. There are many private companies that come to offer placements. The students from 3rd year in particular apply for internships. The highest package iffered is 500000 and the average is 250000. About 45% students get placements. My plan after getting the degree is to go for higher studies.

Likes

I liked the environment and the crowd of the college, and also my professors. Like seriously they are so helpful and kind
Also what I like about this college is that it's liberal unlike other colleges of North campus
I love the ashoka lawn and the big ground in front of the gym

Dislikes

I hate the staff, especially the technical staff ( Ankita Jain ), I went to her with erp portal issue and she just didn't look after my issue properly and sent me away. It was totally unexpected. She must be removed from her position.
The canteen staff, I didn't like their behaviour
Some of the seniors are shit and not helpful

Course Curriculum Overview:

I would rate it 9 out of 10. The reason is simple, whatever my professors teach and everything that is there in my syllabus is really helpful for my future. Not just that, they way lectures are delivered by the professors is just awesome

As a future law student philosophy was one of the options which was good to opt. Secondly, comparatively less people opt it and it can be one of the better choices if you are preparing for upsc and taking it as an optional. Teaching can be made more interactive as the topics are really interesting
