Maitreyi college

Student Snaps:

The tuition fees of our college are one of the cheapest in the entire DU. Besides that, our college provides ample scholarships both need-based and merit-based. The placement cell of our college provides placement and internships to students regularly.

Economics hons. From Maitreyi college (Delhi University)

The fees of Maitreyi are very affordable. It has one of the lowest fees within du colleges. The total cost of the First semester was around 7000 rs. The total cost of the Second semester was around 8000 rs Total cost of the Third semester was around 9000 rs. With the implementation of NEP, the fees have increased a bit for the new batch. The scholarships are for economically weaker students and academically good students too. There is a placement cell in the college. I have not taken any employment because I wanted to go for higher studies but 3-4 students in my class got employment in the big 4 companies.

Great college, great atmosphere, placements can be improved

My program's fees was about ?7000 for the first year, about ?7500 for the second and about ?8000 for the third. The government does give aid to EWS students. For internships, students will have to majorly look by themselves for opportunities, since the college does not provide them. Maitreyi does not have a lot of scope to earn while studying.

Internship review

Course Curriculum Overview:

Teachers here are very helpful, qualified, and very knowledgeable. Their teaching quality is also good. Theory classes are very understanding, and practical classes conducted are best where teachers make you learn almost everything about the topic. So, your concepts become more clear.

Internship Review

I would say that fees is really minimal in a way that most of us can afford. It is just around 6,000 per year which is pretty less as compared to the demand of course. I didn't apply for any financial assistance. There are societies/cells available that provide on-campus jobs and internships and if one want to get one they can easily contact them.

My college experience

Cost to study is cool like for one year 6000 is very less, our college doesn't offer a scholarship if you take admission via merit maybe there are scholarship if you give entrance and financial assistance is given to the different castes like SC ST OBC as far as I know.
