What Students Say
Likes
- I liked the Robust and active social life at Hindu. The diversity of people at the college adds to this and makes me want to come to college everyday
- I liked the infrastructure, there are 2 canteens on campus. The corridors have nature light and are wide. Classrooms are aesthetically pleasing and each department has their own corner.
- I liked the faculty members, teachers are knowledgeable and take pleasure to teach the students, their expertise in their subject helps the students to a whole new level.
Dislikes
- I disliked that not all classrooms have AC. Hopefully that will be worked upon soon.
- I disliked the management of students during election. This was the first time in 3 years that the college had their elections. After covid. So students were over enthusiastic and college had many intruders.
Course Curriculum Overview
I chose this course because I want to get into Civil Services, moreover, I found the syllabus very interesting. You are taught how to unlearn and then learn. Political Science is quite fun now, our papers are intrinsic and make us think far and beyond. The faculty has a 1:25 faculty-student ratio. The minimum qualification for becoming a lecturer is a master's degree with above 55%. some courses require a Ph.D. qualification. I am yet to take my exams but the schedule was already released in August 2023. till now no significant changes have been made as such.
Placement Experience
The students become eligible for Placement in the 3rd Year of College. that is Semester 5. We have Accenture, Gartner, HCL, Avendus, and Deloitte to name a few that come for campus placements. The average package is of 10.4LPA. The highest that has gone is 36.5LPA. 95% of students get placements during campus placements. My plan after the degree is to prepare for civil service exams.
Fees and Financial Aid
Delhi University offers financial aid to meritorious and financially weak students, Some names are as follow, VK Rao Endowment grant. The Delhi University and College Karamchari Book grant. Vijendra Sharmila Chopra Memorial Scholarship, His Holiness the Pope scholarship. these are to name a few. The overall cost to study at HIndu and in my course would cost 27,000 Rupees per year. The fee hike was almost a 6,000 rupees due to the NEP introduced in 2020.
