bisma shoeb's Review on Delhi University [DU]

For my particular course, on-campus placement opportunities were pretty less but off-campus opportunities were pretty nice. I guess having completed my graduation from this college and university, did add to my credibility and made me quite a useful resource in the job market.

Hostels were not provided. But students had option of renting places around the college. The infrastructure was pretty good. We had seminar rooms, a big playground, 2 canteens, a library, classrooms with adequate seating capacity and enough greenery all around. The PG's around the area were cost-efficient and provided comfortable living experience to the students.

The admission to my course was merit based, on the basis proof marks secured in class 12th.Students seeking admissions had to apply for admission by filling the online application form and fill multiple courses they wish to get admitted in. After that the university would release cut-off lists for different colleges. Students who met the cut-off for a particular course and particular college, could confirm their admission by visiting the college in the stipulated time.

The course that I was pursuing was B.A English Hons and during this course, i learnt about the literature of different times and ages and places. Subjects in my course included Indian Mythology, Greek Mythology, American Literature, Children's Literature, Translation Literature, Partition Literature, among many others. Each semester had different teachers for different subjects and the faculty was pretty good and knowledgable. They also provided sufficient reading materials and external help.

The fee would be paid on an annual basis and the fee structure was around Rs. 13,000. Apart from this, semester exam fees were to be paid right before the exams. Scholarships were also available for the reserved categories.

The college has a very active club culture. There are multiple cultural clubs. There is a dance society, singing society, creative writing society, debating society, among others. There are annual fests where all the clubs and societies collaborate to put together an effective fest.
