Should I do BA programme from St. Stephens or English honours from JMC?

I have friends from both St. Stephens and JMC. Here are a few of the information that I got from them. St. Stephens is a prestigious college with its own sets of rules and code of conduct. It has a good campus. If you want to explore ideas, places and have a decent campus life then St. Stephens is a great option. JMC is an off-campus college. So, you won’t have access to campus. It is a girl’s college with strict rules. Now coming to the courses, in English honors, you will learn about a myriad of texts from different countries and different time periods. However, you will have to spend your three years around poetry and prose. You won’t get to experience much diversity when it comes to subjects. For the BA program, however, you can choose all subjects from Social Science. There are many combinations that you can opt for. So, I will suggest that you choose the program which will keep you interested for the next three years. College life will be similar irrespective of the institute. Also, gone are the days when students with honors degrees were treated superior to the students who pursued programs.

Which college is better, JMC or DCAC for a BA programme?

I have friends from both JMC and DCAC. Based on their experience, I will say DCAC is a better option. The student crowd at the institute is diverse. Facilities at DCAC are well-experienced and helpful. It got high ratings from NAAC and India Today Magazine. The institute offers add-on certificates and diplomas in foreign language courses. DCAC has great infrastructural facilities. There is a library with a great collection of books. There is also a gym and table tennis room on campus. The auditorium is equipped with special lights and sound effects. DCAC campus has a basketball court, a volleyball court. DCAC is not that strict about attendance. JMC is definitely a reputed college, however, in comparison, DCAC is better.

JMC REVIEW

Fees and Financial Aid:

The yearly fees depends on the course you get for example with my course the fee is 23500 aprox but with a course like B.EL.Ed the fee can go upto 32,200 approx. There are concessions for students coming from a family with lower income and financia hardship but it is totally situation based and students need to apply seperately for it.

The fees structure is very simple with yearly fees of around 20,000 to be submitted in the beginning of every odd semester 1,3 and 5. The fees covers most ground of necessity as well as scholarships are available for students in need.

My Personal Experience in JMC

Course Curriculum Overview:

During high school, I started getting interested in different theories in Philosophy and learning & studying foreign languages which I chose this course. Honestly, I didn't feel my curriculum prepared me for real-world applications or academic pursuits. It was my French professor who gave us advice on how to choose which path we would like to go and what steps to take. I would suggest better courses in our curriculum to help students further navigate their academic pursuits. Some professors have a good teaching method by being interactive with the students while others have a much more traditional and unenthusiastic way of teaching which can come off as rather boring. Our exams would happen after every 5-6 months, we would get 3 hours to write our exam. The difficulty level for my course is not that hard, anyone who pays enough attention with a few days of studying can easily pass or score well in the exams.

Best college in south campus

The total fee of the college including the examination fee is 7000 approx. I have recently completed my first year in this college so I can't talk about the increasing or decreasing fee structure. It's a little bit hard to tell. The re are government scholarships.

TEENS GONE WELL!!!

the fee anually id fixed at 16000 anualyy and differs college to college. The cost of education overall would be 18000 including funds given by us for socities. Other expense like food and rent in delhi would take you to 1.56 lakh expense anually. There arevmany placemnets and oppurtinies available if you are commerce and science students for humanities its not that much.

Prerna Arora's Review On Jesus And Mary College - [JMC], New Delhi

Yes, every faculty teaches wholeheartedly and the course is up to date. Academics are perfect here in JMC. Dr. Preeti Ghosh for philosophy for eg. They all make sure that they teach well and do everything to provide education.
