There are around 15 teachers for whole political science department which consists around 500 students and the relationship is very good with friendly teachers available at all times for us. Taking names won't appear good but the best teachers even helped us at last minute prep while the bad faculty was so because of average teaching techniques and constant cancellation of classes. Tests are there for internal assessment, easy with linemt checking while DU exams everyone knows are predictable and easy

Course Curriculum Overview

Relevance in present times of political science and my career prospects public policy helped me to select this course. Moreover, it has subjects like political theory, constitution, pubad which are used in competitive like UPSC , policy making etc defing career prospects. Improvement in teaching through daily small homework and better interaction, some videos and teaching from reading in class. Frequency of exam to be twice as helps to learn better in main exam

Faculties are good though but some time they get biased towards some students and also we can clear our doubts, till now I am in my 3rd year of my college and I liked two teachers mostly Dr.Juhi ma'am the TIC of our department and professor ojaswini ma'am the teacher of English department and she taught very nicely and kind towards students . There are total 3 main exam which we called DSC and one vac and one sec and there is one exam aec in those papers we select paper according to our wish and now. And also one minor paper called General elective G.E.There are some students got back because of not appearing in the exam or not clear CA and IA. Course is good we study so many different thinkers and there ideologies

Campus Life

There are many festivals like diwali celebration, Dandiya night and so many others. Books are mostly old in the library no new collection. There is no digital facilities in our classroom even some time fans and lights could not work properly. Sports are there and even our college do very well in sports like kabbadi, Kho -kho , volley ball etc. There are many societies like prayas is a civil services examination society, debate society etc

My student union of my college for this year is a bit active and hence there was the dandiya night and diwali mela along with freshers conducted in the month of Oct , sep and nov. The societies also works hard, where I am part of almost 4 societies.The infrastructure of my college is huge and we have 2 huge grounds . The range and accessibility of Books are quite moderate since our college library is a bit old. The facilities and technological provisions are great .The sports and curricular activities are fabulous and active since our college often bags prizes for various items. The student run groups include that of Pehchan society and of nss and ncc who does a great job doing social service to the public from the college or the student side .

Faculty

The faculty to student ratio is almost the same.The faculties of my college are almost very approachable and particularly faculty of my course. My favourite faculties are Juhi Ma'am and Rashmita Ma'am. Both of them are very friendly, teaching Political Science. I didn't like the approach of Latha ma'am, I exactly don't remember which subject she is teaching, but she is more kind of not that approachable and many times doesn't clear our doubts. There are a total of 5 exams for now in this semester and most of them are easy for me. But many students find it difficult in their internal assessments. The relevance of my curriculum is very much especially for higher studies in Political Science.

Course Curriculum Overview

The curriculum activities are kind of normal. I really want something interesting like i got a teacher this sem who gave us different types of curriculum activities as assignment instead of making us write 12 pages that is waste of time and efforts in my opinion. The exam level is moderate to high but overall average student can score good.

Internships Opportunities

Our college provide intership that are like social activities... people can join internship program instead of sec and will get a certificate you just have to give interview for internship and then after completing working hours you will get your certificate.

Fees and Financial Aid

I am a first year student of B.A. (Hons) Political Science in Daulat Ram College. The fees for my course is higher compared to other colleges of North Campus DU (32000 rupees), which is disappointing in my opinion, as the teaching style is no different from other colleges. Everyone studies the same thing. Though there are scholarships, they are only for students with very poor financial conditions, I have not been informed about the scholarship offers for the students of middle class who wish to gain it.

Course Curriculum Overview

I kind of do not understand the point of studying ancient statecraft and political theory. As much as these subjects could be valued by some, in my opinion, I know that i'm NEVER going to have to use these topics in my daily life. So why make it such a big issue? I suppose they should focus more on topics like geopolitics, which would definitely affect our day to day life.

There are 2 sections in Political Science Honours. There are 60 students in my class, we have 3 core subjects, and 1 SEC, 1 VAC, 1 GE and 1 AEC. One professor is assigned to classroom to teach a core subject. For my GE, psychology there are 3 teachers 1 is the main, taught us the half syllabus... other half is taught by another and for tutorial class students are divided into 2 groups, i taught by the main and other by separate teacher. They are genuinely helping and encouraging.

Campus Life

As i said, i am a proud part of 3 societies of this college. This organises a lot of activities, seminar outside academics too. Recently a sports meet happened, a annual fest named manjari take places here every year. It's nice but there is honestly lacking in the infrastructure. Even one of the smallest campus in north campus yet with second largest auditorium.

The yearly fees of my course is Rs 16060 that I paid for first year. The course is pretty affordable with amazing faculty and facilities. The Foreign students have a fees but more that ours. Scholarships are available in the college, sponsered by Delhi University, various reputed institutions and even people who want to contribute to the society. They are mostly based on the needs of financially compromised people but some are also based on merit.

Faculty

The faculty is amazing. If you think they're strict, they will be only when they think you are going on the wrong path. Some of the best advices are the ones they will give you. Understanding and caring, they love us like their own children. Some faculties might be a bit complex to understand, but other than that all of them are like coconuts. They will want to appear hard and strict, but they are softies from inside.

Course Curriculum Overview

The curriculum introduces all the major aspects of the field of Political Science - including political theory, comparative politics, Indian Political Thought, Western Political Philosophy, Global Politics, Public Administration, Indian Colonialism, etc. The curriculum includes essential readings which are seminal works of their respective research area and thus, help prepare students for the real world application of what they study in the classroom. However, most readings are dated a decade ago. It would be better if newer and updated readings could be added to the curriculum.

Faculty

The faculty to student ratio is fairly well-balanced. The relationship is also cordial and amiable. Most professors are approachable and are always accessible as well. The course structure followed is the one laid out by the University itself, but professors provide resources beyond what is prescribed by the University. The end semester exams also take place based on the Universitu prescription.

Overall campus experience has been above average , since the college lacks behind in infrastructure, while societies and other activists utilise it efficiently enough but it shouldn't be undermined that the scope of events ane societies have been somewhat limited due to the poor infrastructure of the college and lack of funds . Facilities and technological provisions are quite below average and significantly poor , no digital classrooms , projectors barely work and those who work aren't visible enough. Range of accessibility of books and other materials aris good enough . All societies , club are great and fun , provide novel learning experiences in and out of campus .

Course Curriculum Overview

Too vague to understand, feels extra burden of unnecessary irrelevant topics , extra papers like SEC/VAC simply add to the burden while barely providing with any skills and values as their name suggests . Studying them and preparing for exams add extra stress and unnecessary burden on them , diverting their focus from their core papers , which are already too huge and they study materials or readings simply fail to assist . Areas for improvement would be - proper structured study materials , also proper structured practical subjects / papers for students where they can actually learn or gain knowledge/skills which will be advantageous in their future .

The fee structure is very affordable as it is a government funded college. Yearly we have to pay a basic sum of 25000 excluding exam fees which is taken from us semester wise. The fee structure is not the same for everyone, it varies as per to the categories and financial conditions of the family. Our college internally also provides aid for students who are not very financially strong. This helps them move ahead without dropping out from the careers.

Ques. Which is better for UPSC CSE PREPARATION BA or BA Hons in political science from DU?

● Top Answer By Yuvraj Dua on 07 Oct 22

Ans. BA and BA Honors are both excellent choices for UPSC CSE. It will aid you in your preparation for the Prelims and Main exams. In BA course, you must study three different subjects, such as political science, history, and geography, which means that 50% of the syllabus has already been covered, and if you choose Political Science as an optional subject, another 40% has already been covered. So taking a BA course will improve your chances.  Now, moving on to the BA (Hons), you will study political science in depth, which will help you in the Mains because, as we all know, the difficulty level of optional is higher than the Bachelor level but lower than the Master's level, so it will benefit you greatly. However, because you will only be studying two subjects in your bachelor's programme, you will have to study the third subject on your own. Thus, you should pursue a BA General course. However, as everyone knows, UPSC is all about extreme hard work, luck, proper planning, guidance, and several other factors. Make your own decision and put in your best effort.Read more

Ques. Is selective IGNOU BA and MA political science sufficient for political science optional in UPSC?

● Top Answer By Prithviraj Debbarma on 21 Oct 22

Ans. One of my sister's acquaintances wrote 2016 mains with PSIR optional. She had been working in an IT firm till a month before prelims and had been preparing for a year before.  Political Science and International Relations (PSIR) is quite fast. The study material provided by IGNOU is good for selective reading for specific topics like Justice, Equality, MN Roy, Sri Aurobindo, Theory of international relations etc. But she had an engineering background and revealed that the notes were not of premium quality. Paper 1- Part A Gauba is not bad. But you will need to read the book more than one time to interpret it completely. The information has been divided unevenly within the chapters making it a difficult read. One more good source is Shubra Ranjan's notes. They summarise the points in the UPSC syllabus format. Paper 1- Part B Complete Laxmikant.Read the interpretations given by famous analysts, their viewpoints, case laws and their history and the politics that played behind the evolution of laws and how and why the judiciary evolved. Again for this look into Shubra Ranjan notes. For the remaining topics look into Oxford publications. Paper 2- part A For this part, the best recommendation is Heywood’s global politics. It’s easy to understand and very well written. Combine this with IGNOU notes and you will get good results. You can also go through questions given in Baylis and Smith because sometimes they appear verbatim and quoting the exact same viewpoint can get you some extra points. Paper 2 - Part B Conduct internet research and make your own notes on the topics included in the syllabus. Then go through commentaries on IDSA /IPCS websites. This will give you a better understanding of and current status of relations. Once you are done with all the study materials, focus on developing the vocabulary for PSIR. Make sure your answers are evenly distributed with theories, quotes, facts, years etc. Practice writing answers a lot. Read more

Ques. Which college of DU is better for political science hons: Dyal Singh College or Atma Ram Sanatan Dharma College?

● Top Answer By Akriti Banerjee on 15 May 23

Ans. My knowledge is limited to the individual institutes and not their political science departments. In my opinion, Dayal Singh is a better choice than ARSD. here are a few reasons that justify my opinion Dyal Singh College has better infrastructure, a great location, and easy access to the metro station. Whereas. The metro line is still under construction near ARSD College. Both colleges are listed among the top 10 colleges in India.  The crowd quality is similar in both the colleges with Dyal Singh giving a slight edge to ARSD.  Dyal Singh has excellent amenities with a basketball court and spacious ground. Dyal Singh houses a massive library with more than 58,000 books on different disciplines, ranging from rare to the latest. It has a fully air-conditioned reading room with computers Dyal Singh has the facility of UGC-INFLIBNET through which the students can also access e-journals. All these points strongly claim that Dyal Singh is a better choice than ARSD unless you chose ASRD because of personal preferences.Read more

Ques. Which one is better for B.A (Hons.) in political science: Hindu College, University of Delhi, or St. Xavier's Kolkata?

● Top Answer By Arnav Roy on 24 Jul 23

Ans. While my brother was preparing a list of top colleges offering Political Hons, he never came across St. Xavier’s Kolkata while Delhi University and Hindu College specifically topped his list. This in itself proves Hindu College to be better than St. Xavier’s. Additionally, most of the teachers and seniors advised him to choose Hindu.  He was lucky enough to clear the cutoff and join the college. To date, he has no regrets about his decision. The best part of the institute is its superior location in Delhi. The crowd this college welcomes is another reason he was inclined towards it. The seniors are very cooperative and ragging is not tolerated.  The faculty pool comprises professors from top national and international universities. Most of the students pursuing political science either target Civil services or are inclined toward international relations and other political issues. While many may find flaws here because it’s a government college, trust me in the long run it’s your efforts and talents that matter. A college can only provide for you; it is you who has to make the most out of it.Read more

Ques. How better is Shyam Lal College evening for a B.A. Hons in political science?

● Top Answer By Priya Sen, on 03 Nov 21

Ans. One of my friends studied at Shyam Lal College (SLC) Evening. Let me share his views about the college which might give you some information. The overall performance of the faculty is average. Ad-hoc teachers only take regular classes.  The student crowd is not good. Students who are focused on their career are less, therefore have no sense of enthusiasm or competition. The library is not good. Lots of study materials are unavailable. Due to careless teaching and less dedication in studies, the students during the internals are bound to get low scores. No extracurricular activities take place. Societies are for namesake. They exist only on papers. It is suggested that you opt for other colleges because if you are very ambitious, you might get disheartened studying here.Read more
