Entrance Preview
The college was not the first choice but my grades and the proximity to my home was the reason to opt for it. But I had heard it has good faculty in ECO (H), which was correct.
Course Curriculum Overview
Course curriculum was intense but not as dynamic as it should have been (in 2008, not sure now). I felt there was a need to study the new dynamics of the economy like digital India and their impact. Also I felt there could have been less emphasis on history and old economic systems.
Internships Opportunities
There was no internship provided. But the senior students and faculty did tell us to find relevant internships. But I felt there could have been more focus on practical exposure apart from academics.
Placement Experience
No it did not have a good career placement team. We were pretty much on our own. But the faculty did assist on resume building and suggesting opportunities we should apply for. I remember I got an opportunity to be interviewed and I took advice on the same. One of my faculty did a mock interview, which was my first ever.
College Events
All events had good participation but mostly from colleges nearby. For most good events we went to other colleges. There were sports meet, debate competitions too but only handful. The overall culture was ok and didn't really make the college stand out for it. There were not any management festivals hosted in the college.
Fees and Financial Aid
There was a nominal scholarship offered but there wasn't a loan facility. The fee was anyway nominal so was not needed.
Alumni/Alumna
Don't have a great alumni network. I think there needs to be a conscious effort to bring some alumni to interact and speak to students.
Exam Structure
The exam structure in 2008 was annual. And later changed to semesters which is good. We used to have internal exams throughout the year. And attendance was stressed upon. But the exams were very hectic because of the tough curriculum.
Admission
Admission was on basis of class 12 grades. There was no interview or GD conducted though there needs to be a better process. Also once the forms were filled for admission, the first, second and consecutive lists were shared by college in college premises and not on email or website. It did prolong the process. And since college is not in main campus it did take an effort to visit.
Faculty
Faculty has always been good at Rajdhani. It was a good mix of young and experienced professors. The emphasis was on conversations and interactions and not just text book chapters. We were encouraged to understand what's going on in economy and put it in context of what we studied.
