Course Curriculum Overview

3.5

For me, I was always interested in literature and this is the career that I want to opt for. I chose this course as it was directly connected to my goal of becoming a lecturer. Our college has a great English Faculty and with one section of just 50 students, it becomes super convenient for the teachers to look after everyone. I think the faculty is highly qualified and does take its time in teaching us timely. The term exams were conducted timely which is twice a year and it wasn't difficult to pass if you just focused on your studies.

Internships Opportunities

3.5

There is the Placement Cell in our college that carries out drives and also keeps posting their internship opportunities on Instagram for further updates. The projects were told by the companies at that time only and yes many students were also placed in the same.

Fees and Financial Aid

In my first year, the fees were around Rs. 16,500 which itself is a little high but still, it got hiked in the second year to Rs. 20,000 and even more in the third year. The final fee I am paying for this year is Rs. 22,500, all of this has put a major hole in our pockets as there are even examination charges for each exam. Despite DU being comparatively cheaper, still, the prices are still increasing.

Campus Life

4

The annual fest is 'Yamuna' conducted in March which is mainly for the conservation of the river Yamuna and that is what the event is based on. It is different compared to other colleges and that is what makes it even more better. Books and journals of any subject are available in the library and the classrooms are well furnished. For sports, hockey is what is mainly known as the pride of Shyam Lal and even then other sports are also preferred. There are various clubs and societies run by students and I am the president of the Dramatics Society so can say that these amenities make it special.

Admission

During my admission time, there was a cut-off system and hence I secured my seat according to the best of the 4 subjects that I scored from. The eligibility of my admission was simple as should just have English as one of my main core subjects and the rest of everything depended on my marks. Major Improvements and shifts that happened after my year at CUCET came about, now there are entrances for everything which is both a pro and a con.

Course Curriculum Overview:

The BA English Honours curriculum at DU SOL is relevant and provides a strong foundation in literature and language. The course covers diverse topics that support academic learning and critical thinking. The flexible structure is suitable for distance-learning students. Adding more practical activities, updated study materials, and interactive learning opportunities could further improve the overall course experience.

As a future law student philosophy was one of the options which was good to opt. Secondly, comparatively less people opt it and it can be one of the better choices if you are preparing for upsc and taking it as an optional. Teaching can be made more interactive as the topics are really interesting

Remarks:

Positive : the faculties are good and I could say our college is the meeting place of various cultures ranging from Kerala to jammukashmir Negative: the infrastructure is poor. Labs and libraries are not so good. And there are stray dogs who often steps into classes and make us afraid. College is not fully air conditioned but is on processing.
