Tanvi Parwal's Review On Lady Irwin College, New Delhi

I got admission in this college through my 12th percentage. There was no entrance exam. I opted for this college because it is the best college in ASIA for Home Science.

The Course Curriculum is such that I enjoyed every bit of it apart from few theory lectures. The practicals taught me the basic necessities of life and how to fulfill it.

Internship is compulsory in the third year of B.Sc and after 1st year of Masters. But this is not provided by the college and the stipend depends on where you do your internship. The faculty though refer the students to different organisations from their contacts and if suits the organisation and the students then the internship starts.

The college does not have a placement cell. As far as job opportunities are concerned their are jobs in the market after you do masters in Home Science of course specialized any one stream but the pay is not lavish. Given the market scenario now the pay can be somewhere in the range of 15 k to 40 k depending on your specialization and abilities.

Few major events that are celebrated are Freshers organised by both the faculty of the college and the students union. Students of 1 year are given themes the previous day and the party mostly happens in the evening. Orientation programme for 1st year studentsParents meet organised by the students union where the 1 year students participate and their family members are invited.Founder's Day A celebrity and alumni's are invited on this day. Awards are distributed to best students in various streams and co-curricular activities followed by some cultural programme and lunch snacks Independence day Organised by the college. Cultural Programmes happen on this day and ladoos are distributed. Farewell organised by both the faculty of the college and the students union. Students of 3 year are given themes the previous day and the party mostly happens in the evening. A one day pre-fest event where students savour dance music and food. 3 day Fest Many competitions and jam sessions happen. A celebrity band or singer is invited.

The fee structure is highly feasible given the college is a govt one.

College offers scholarship for students in need. A panel sits in the college and students have to fill a form before hand. The panel interviews the student and based on the needs decide the scholarship.

Lady Irwin college is a girls college. The student union provides many opportunities to the students to participate in various events if the student is interested. There is no politics if you do not want to get into one at least prevalent in the college. Students from all backgrounds can be seen roaming freely and chit chatting in the college.

Hostel facilities are excellent the food though is not amazingly tasty. The other facilities provided by the hostel are good. Rooms are clean and bathrooms are hygienic. Students are not allowed to go out of campus after 7 and if they reach late then they are fined. Food of the canteen is good it becomes relishing if eaten over gossips and fun with friends.

There is a Facebook page for the alumni's and every year the college hosts alumni meet in which all the alumni's are invited. On Founders Day the best alumni who is doing pretty well in her life is awarded and acknowledged.

The faculty is awesome. Their knowledge of their subjects and their enthusiasm is unbeatable. The faculty is always there to help you in case of any doubts either in life or in the course.
