What Students Say
Likes
- The campus is excellent especially the lawns , the front lawn and the back lawn are really so peaceful that you can spend your whole day sitting there admiring the natural beauty.
- The faculty is also well qualified and would help you with each and every minor problems. Even the seniors are so friendly and cooperative they help us in everything from academics to what societies we should go for.
- The Nescafe and cafe(canteen) also provide us with better quality food which is lifesaver for pg students. College also calls big companies for placements.
Dislikes
- The old building sucks in summers as it was built a long time ago and thus fans do not function properly.
- There isn't proper ventilation inthe old building and the wifi doesn't works in new building.
- There's no AC in the Auditorium,which was quite shocking at first. And it becomes almost impossible to sit in the Auditorium during summers.
Course Curriculum Overview
Since History was a subject of my interest so I opted for it and pursuing History Hons. The curriculum of my course is well built. It enforces us to connect what we learn with the current scenarios. We also go for visits to historical sites which is very fascinating as there's a lot of difference in just reading what's written in the books and going to that actual site to have a real experience of it. The exams for GE and DSC are of 3 hours while that of optional subject like VAC,SEC and AEC is of 1 hour.
Placement Experience
Students become eligible for placements in there final year or sixth semester. A lot of big companies visit the college for placements. The Economics Hons department and Bcom Hons department get the highest placements.
Fees and Financial Aid
The fees is paid annually which, corthe first years was around 20,000. No registration fees was paid. College is great as it provides few freeships and scholarships to those who are academically excellent and belong to economically weaker sections. This is really a great initiative. Those who also score highest marks at the end of a year are also provided with scholarships.
Campus Life
The college conducts great fests. TARANG, being our annual fest which is of 3 days and is held in March. It is a great fest with other colleges coming here for various competitions, Great speakers come to grace our fest and a lot of competitions being held in different corners of the college is a whole unmatched vibe. Apart from this, Annual NCC fest, Veerangna is also conducted. Noor, the fest of NSS LSR is also great.
Admission
LSR only was at my first preference. The other colleges that I applied for were Miranda House, Hindu College, Gargi,Sri Venkateswara, Indraprastha University, Daulat Ram College, Jesus and Mary College, Kamla Nehru College etc. Since LSR was my first preference and I got it, so I didn't face rejection from any college. The procedure to get into here is very simple. You just need to give CUET exam which is central University Entrance Test. Make sure that you apply for DU in the CUET preference list and appear for all those exams that you had in your class 12 and GT isn't necessary for DU.Then the results are announced. After this, DU will open the preference sheet, where you would enter your college and course preferences according to the order most suitable to you, remember to not to keep results andykur marks as the most important criteria while making the preference sheet. After this, DU releases the college you've been allocated and also the cut off. If you're satisfied with your college and course, freeze your seat,if not , opt for upgrade. If the seats are available the colleges you mentioned above to the one you've been allocated, you will get the seat there, If not you'll have to continue with the one you received.
Faculty
There around 60 to 70 students in each section. The faculty is excellent, they are very qualified and highly educated. They know how to deal especially with the first years and try to make them feel comfortable during the initial days of their college. Some professors though are not efficient in speaking Hindi so sometimes it becomes quite difficult for the Hindi medium students to grasp the context and what they are teaching but still the professors try every way possible to make them understand which is really impressive. History department has excellent faculty. There are just semester exams at the end of each semester and no mid sem exams. Though small tests are conducted by the course professors themselves for the Internal Assessment. The xmexams are not much difficult. With consistent study they can be passed out clearly. DU hardly fails any student.
Interview Experience
No written test other than CUET was held for the admission process. It is just that you give CUET and based on the marks that you've scored and cut off of the college and course you've putten aa your preferences, you will be allocated the college. This is the admission process for all the colleges of DU.
Night Life
The canteen , known as Cafè and the Nescafe are usually closed down around 6 pm. Gym is in the ground so as the college closes down at 7, even the gym is closed down. Library and Reference cell, which is also a peaceful study space, both are closed at 7pm. The hostel is closed since past 2 years or so due to some renovation work being happening there.
