Which is better: BA Hons. Journalism from Lady Shri Ram or Delhi College of Arts and Commerce?

B.A Hons. in Journalism from Lady Shri Ram College is definitely a better option than DCAC. It is way better in terms of campus, ranking, reputation, student crowd, etc. The cutoff required for the institute is also higher. So, you will be among competitive peers. If you don’t get LSR, try to get into other south-campus colleges. DCAC is not included in any of the DU campuses, which is a huge disadvantage.

DCAC offers a pocket-friendly fee structure, with the annual fee for BA(Hons.) Journalism around Rs. 18,000 and an additional semester examination fee of approximately Rs. 910 to Rs. 1,000.

The college's placement cell, Broadway, organizes placement drives and internship fairs. Many students secure internships through personal contacts or platforms like Internshala, often in their third year. The college is known for facilitating diverse roles such as Campus Ambassador, Brand Associate, Graphic Designer, and Content Writer. Although a scholarship of Rs. 345 per month is available, it is seen as insufficient by some. The campus is well-equipped, providing various resources and opportunities for placement and earning.

Journalism in DCAC

Fees are just rupees 17895 for a year for ba Hons journalism which is very convenient as journalism includes many different tasks. The campus is very beautiful, it has every needed thing which a campus need(they gave a tour even in online mode) There are no scholarships for bachelors but then you get a number of opportunities to grab in college to get placed or earn.

Not any as such. But there are other kinds of scholarships offered by organizations that students can try to avail.

College analysis

There is only one such scholarship available fromt he side of college , but its actually too less , its rs.345 for a month and for that too we need to clear a test . So I don’t think that scholars is good enough.

Top Co-ed College in South Campus- DCAC

NO, I haven't opted for any scholarship or education loan as the college fee is subsidized and very reasonable. The total estimate is around Rs. 18000 per year and semester examination fee(1000 per semester).
