Jashan's Review On DAV College - [DAVC], Chandigarh

The college management is really good and feasible for students they are always available for help and do not delay any work which we usually see in government institutions overall, i would say the college provides a good platform for the students who are focused and want to achieve something in life.

The admission for Masters in Psychology is based on merit, so there was no particular entrance exam but yes the cut off was really high.

The course is research based the course curriculum is really thorough and the choice of choosing any major specialization in the second year is a really good option. Moreover in the first year you can build up you basics that act as the base for your future study. The practicals are based on actual problems that give insight into the real time things of life such as concept formation, learning, memory, depression, etc the assessment criteria is really good as a student can express his or her handwork through creative representation of topics and other survey researches of individual interests it gives the teacher an idea of how well the student is grasping the syllabus and is into the course.

There are no particular placements in the Arts fields or any internships available currently in the Psychology field as its an newly rising field. But the teachers do post links on facebook and emails about whatever knowledge they have about any recent internship or workshop openings.

No information available but I do know about my three seniors one of them got a job offer of HR Manager in Vogue Magazine the other got the job of counselor in the millennium school and the third got a job of HR in The Trident Group at an initial package of 12lakh per annum.

Youth culture fest conducted under the Panjab university it is Intra-State based college event it includes competitions ranging from debates, poetry, dance, photography, etc. Sparkles- it is a UT based fest where local colleges of chandigarh participate in competitions from dance, modelling, singing, debates, etc star night one special star night is conducted where stars from Babbu Mann, Gurdas Mann, Badshah, etc perform.

The fee structure is feasible keeping in mind that it is a private institute but it still provides various scholarships for the socio-economically weak people. There are scholarships available from alumnus or pioneers of the society. I have seen people get fee reductions even based on their attendance.

There is full fee scholarship for extremely intelligent yet economically weak students there is SC/ST scholarship there are other scholarships available too in the name of great pioneers. I have seen people get fee reductions even based on their attendence.

Gender ratio is almost 10 females to 8 males there are a lot of societies in college. Lassya is the main dance group of college there is a modelling team there is a dramatics group an IT group. We have a debates team that went on a national level. The main attraction of the college is the cricket association that has given birth to players like Kapil Dev and Yuvraj Singh and many more.

I am not a hosteler so do not have enough knowledge to answer this particular question. I do live in a PG the average rent goes upto to 6-7000rs per person the facilities are fine the more you pay, the more facilities you get. Usually AC is provided or a cooler you have access to a kitchen and laundry services as well.

The seniors are really really helpful i have never seen any kind of ragging in the college they are respectful people and the alumni network is also very strong.

The exam structure is semester based there is one house test of twenty marks in October and then final semester exam in December. The same applies to one house test in march and then final semester in may the exams are not hectic and proper study break is given with a student oriented datasheet.

The admission was merit based. The process included submission of an online form and then counselling was done on a fixed date. The process was made really easy for the students as it was hassle free. Old students and administration was there to help any student or parent in doubt. The students or parents were notified about every update through text messages and emails.

The faculty is really particular about nurturing the students and honing their skills in the research field they picked up everything from the basics and are building us into research scholars they are really supportive and understanding, allowing students to come up with doubts as many times as they want to they are knowledgeable and always prepared with their studying material and never leave any student unattended.
