Which one should I choose after 12th: IIM Indore IPM or Hansraj College, Delhi University?
IPM is a complex and challenging course. It is an amalgamation of various subjects such as Maths, Economics, Sociology, etc. The workload will be immense. You will have to work hard to keep up with the coursework. But you will learn to look at things from multiple perspectives.
IPM at IIM Indore also has a good placement record. In the placement drive that was conducted in 2021 virtually due to the Covid-19 pandemic, a placement percentage of 100% has been recorded. The average package offered to the students was INR 23.60 LPA which is higher than the package offered in 2020. In addition to these, the average package offered to the top 100 students was INR 33 LPA. The highest domestic salary offered was INR 41.50 LPA and the international salary was INR 56.80 LPA.
DU offers some leniency. You can miss a couple of classes and will be able to self-study. In the case of Hansraj College, the percentage of placement was 70% in their recent placement drive. The highest package recorded was 20.5 LPA and the average package was INR 5.7 LPA. The top companies were Boston Consulting Group, United Airlines, DE Shaw, etc.
If you want a more relaxed college experience, then go for Hansraj College. Otherwise, IPM will be better.
How good is the Geology department at Hansraj College for UG?
One of my friends studied at Hansraj College. According to him, the Geology department is not up to the mark. Here’s mentioning some things that proved to be a disappointment for the students.
- The placements are underwhelming. No reputed organization ever recruits students from this department.
- The classes are irregular and no discipline or decorum is maintained.
- Since it has the curriculum standards of DU, students are put under a lot of pressure to mug up elaborate theories.
- The practical classes are uninteresting, basically because it is not much focussed on.
- Classes of B.Sc. Geology is held outside the main campus where students tend to feel alienated from others.
- They have very little exposure hence less placements.
- Lastly, there is no geology society, where you can learn specific things about the course, get in-hand training, etc.
Therefore, if you want to do B.Sc. then opt for some other subject or you can do a BA or B.Com. from DU as they will provide better scope than Geology.
Which is better for a BA Hons. Economics Hindu College or Hansraj College?
Even though both colleges hold immense prestige and boast of their academic excellence, for many, Hindu College stands ahead of Hansraj College for Economics Honors. Many students consider Hindu College to be in 4th position in terms of Economics studies, after St.Stephens, SRCC, and LSR.
Some highlights of Hindu College are-
Post-graduation studies- The students pursuing their Economics (Hons) from Hindu College get the opportunity to join prestigious institutions for further studies. To name a few-
- Oxford University, Delhi School of Economics, London School of Economics
- University of Bath, Warwick University, and other prominent universities of the UK
- IIM (including IIM Bangalore), XLRI, FMS, SP Jain, MDI, and other prestigious business schools in India
- Placements- Students are offered positions in firms such as Google, Jaypee Trading, KPMG, DE Shaw, and others. Some students even receive multiple offers
- My sisters’ batchmates (2010 graduates) are currently placed in top Private Equity firms, Top investment banks, and consulting firms of great prestige. Some secured much-revered government positions as IAS and IFS officers.
Though these are not statistical figures for an accurate comparison, the data can still provide important insight and value judgment on Hindu College.
Ultimately, it is a matter of individual preference regarding which college you choose. Both colleges offer students immense opportunities, in fact even similar opportunities, so to say.
Also, some of my friends do mention that the economics faculty at Hansraj might be better than the one at Hindu.
