DISHITA PURI's Review On Hansraj College - [HRC], New Delhi

HANSRAJ COLLEGE, DELHI UNIVERSITY time and again has gone out of its way to prove that it is righteous to call it one of the most premier institutes of the country. A college is not only supposed to be academically strong but should also fulfill aspects that will help widen our horizons. It is supposed to provide excellent exposure to students. Hansraj College with its amazing faculty, more than 15 societies, and excellent placement opportunities completes its part in all those aspects. I chose HANSRAJ because it was a part of my vision. I viewed aspects such as extra co-curricular activities, internships offered, class size, and lastly, placement opportunities, and HANSRAJ weighed more in all of them. Blogs I referred to while curating my very own pros and cons list were shiksha.com; college unit; quora.

Commerce was always a keen part of my life. Being born and brought up in a business family background, I always found interest in how businesses operated, how they were functioned and managed. This was primarily the reason I chose commerce with math for higher studies and also the reason I chose BACHELOR OF COMMERCE(HONOURS) as my field. B.com(honors) offers specialization in the field of numerous subjects, be it economics ( both micro and macro ), business management, communications, law, and many others. It makes one eligible for courses like C.A; C.S; I.C.W.A; M.B.A and the list goes on. The course is of 3 years spread over 6 semesters. The student-faculty ratio is approx 70:1 which might be a setback but the faculty makes sure of every student by giving as much individual attention as possible. I just got finished with my 1st-semester exams. The difficulty level of the accountancy exam was the highest and that of the other subjects was moderately difficult.

The college offers various on-campus internships that one can apply from the internship cell of the college itself. One can apply for the same right from the first year of college. Many startup companies register themselves for the same. But there are big names like Bajaj capital and ICICI bank on the list too. One can apply for various job profiles like Marketing, Finance, Content Writing, etc.

According to the official college reports the average package offered to the students is 6 lac per annum and the highest package offered to the students was 21 lac per annum. The recruiter's list could see big names like Bain & Co., Zomato, McKinsey & Company, Deshaw & Co., EY among many others. The students start applying for the placements around the 5th and 6th semesters. Many students also get Pre Placement Offers depending upon their performances in their internships. B.com (HONOURS) is a very diverse field, so after completing my Bachelor's degree I aspire to pursue Chartered Accountancy.

HANSRAJ COLLEGE offers its courses at cheap rates as compared with many other institutions. With just around 20000 per year, students can get access to it its courses. Many students also apply for scholarships which can provide them with financial assistance and many students get 100% scholarships too.

Coronavirus has forced colleges of Delhi University to take classes on online platforms. But as far as campus life is concerned, HANSRAJ COLLEGE tops them all. From the Wall Of Fame to the Lover's Point, it has it all. One foot outside the campus and you would not be disappointed be it in terms of shopping, or cafes and a 100 other things. The library of the college consists of everything from a pin to an elephant and every student can access it. The availability of books is all the time. From Vanijya Utsav to Swaranjali music fest, students leave no stone unturned to make the experience feel anything short of a ball. The societies in the college help a student cultivate their skills. The students will find societies in every domain from music society to commerce society to strategy consulting society and many more.
