The admission process at Aryabhatta College, under Delhi University, involves verifying if applicants meet the required cutoff percentage and evaluating entrance and board exam scores with a 65:35 weightage. The Economics department is considered competent with diverse faculty. The college's fee structure is affordable due to government subsidies, but slightly higher than some colleges without an Economics department. Placement opportunities are promising, with over 150 job offers from companies like KPMG and Wipro, an average salary package of 3.5 to 4.5 LPA, and the highest offer reaching 13 LPA.
However, only 20% of students secure placements, mainly in fields like sales and marketing. The active Placement & Internship Cell offers numerous opportunities, with 10-25 companies visiting monthly and an annual Internship Fair. Internships offer stipends ranging from Rs 5,000 to Rs 25,000. Many students opt for further studies for better career prospects. Course fees are generally under Rs 15,000 per annum, except for professional courses, which cost Rs 23,000-25,000 per annum.
Scholarships based on merit, family income, and for ST/SC and sports backgrounds are available, sometimes offering fee exemptions. However, living expenses in the South Campus area can be high. Despite low fees and available scholarships, some students feel that stipend and job opportunities could be more fulfilling.
