Somya Sharma's Review on Gargi College, Delhi University

internships and jobs are hardly offered to philosohy graduates , so we cant expect much from our college.                                    

The teachers I've had experience with belong to the Philosophy, Psychology, and English department; all well experienced, passionate, and committed to doing justice to their subjects, while also being successful in rousing up that passion within their students to help them feel that they do sincerely belong in the classroom. The only problem I'd wager many students have faced involves the consequences of the teachers being, perhaps, too much into their subjects and the inevitable pride that comes along with that. The FYUP batch students were required to choose another subject as their second discipline course, one they wish to choose as their minor subject, only, the options were surprisingly scarce compared to the diversity of subjects the college offers to its first year students to major in. The departments (specifically the Psychology and Philosophy depts) claimed it wouldn't be prudent to offer the students their subjects as they'd find themselves unable to 'cope with the stress' of the course, let alone grasp the major concepts, now that they're being made to study it for merely 2 semesters. Well, I've heard that in other colleges, like KNC, none of the departments have straight out DENIED the students their wish to choose their respective subjects. I guess it's way better to leave it up to the students to decide whether or not they can handle the coursework and the overall stress. They're, after all, rational enough to see what lies in their best interests. If the teachers decide to cut back on their arrogance a little, that would seriously help the college to rise to new levels.
