Course Curriculum Overview

3.5

I chose this course considering my interest in East Asian culture and Languages. The Faculty: Student ratio is 1:40 and most of the professors are Ph.D scholars. The teaching method comprises reading books and learning after it which stipulates the form of an ancient education system like any other mediocre Indian University. "An important factor to consider is that faculty sometimes fell short due to a shortage of subject masters(or should I say language) For example, Chinese faculty is much in number and experience than Korean and Japanese while the latter suffer the incompetency of the number of faculty. Term exams happened to be very fast but it was due to the internal issues that remain consistent in DU and except that there would be tons of Internal Assessments that play a major role in one's SGPA. Exam level - Hard!

Fees and Financial Aid

The fee structure is very nominal and applies to the majority of the section and only EWS Candidates get to have benefits of Fee reduction, but it all varies according to Delhi University's guidelines. No scholarship or Financial assistance has been provided by the department and neither has the job opportunities which one can question before enrolling in the department.

Campus Life

1

The department is quite depressing and needs major infrastructure advancement. There is a huge shortage of classrooms and doesn't align with the accommodation to satisfy the ratio of students enrolled in the department. Sometimes, professors have to take classes in African departments or get to struggle with the availability of seats. There are no social groups, clubs, or websites to again accommodate the interests of students, let alone to mention there's no department's specific website available in the first place. No Sports and extracurricular activities take place on the campus. The Library is updated concerning course structure and the books recommended by faculty.

Admission

The eligibility of the course is very simple and that is - Undergraduate from any university recognized by the Government of India. - There's no such application form for such a course, all you have to do is to take the CUET Entrance exam and get shortlisted for the following program. Selection varies on the score of the entrance exam and differs according to yearly cut-offs. - All the reservation benefits too vary according to the University's guidelines. - Admission process is smooth as one need to register themselves on DU's portal and whole process is integrated on website that one can look after!

Course Curriculum Overview:

For the course i must say that this is something everyone needs to study about even if it's for just a part. We have ethics, moral, cultural relativism and etc. In our syllabus and it all really help to make our thinking rational, to see World from that point of view from where one can see the clarity. It's really necessary for improvement in personality and making good decision. I think there's need for making this course more practical like teaching, we can teach students about essentials of philosophy for there betterment of decision making from an early age.

Course Curriculum Overview:

The course is very relevant and covers all the history topics comprehensively. The study material is very good as many upsc aspirants and students preparing for competitive exams refer it. Though the curriculum can be improved by limiting and only adding the essential topics in it. There is too much of unnecessary information which makes it difficult to understand at times.
