Course Curriculum Overview
I am pursuing CA and Bcom (H) is complementary to it. Bcom H course offered by University of Delhi (DU) is one of the most reputable courses. It does prepare you for real world applications especially with the NEP- Skill enhancement courses (SEC), Value added courses (VAC) and Ability enhancement courses (AEC) The discipline specific courses as well electives are both real world oriented. It enables students to not only know the theory and logic behind things but also how to apply them in daily lives. Exams are held twice a year, semester pattern- May/June and Dec/Jan. The exam papers are prepared scientifically keeping in mind the capacity of an average student, not so hard, but also not so easy. Internal tests are also conducted for the making of Internal assessment. As to improve this course, more field trips and training during the college years itself, to enable students having some experience before the placement.
Internships Opportunities
Delhi University has its own summer internship program. Students of all semesters can apply in it. It pays pretty well, about 10000 lump sum. Its a goof opportunity for students to getting used to office environment. They have all kinds of roles for every course. Other companies also come to campus for recruitment.
Placement Experience
5-6th semester onwards students are eligible for campus placements. A lot of companies visit our college campus looking for students to take up placements. The highest and average package differs from company to company. Approx 80% of the students find placements while others either don't take up placements or are already occupied with something else like - family business, CA articleship etc
Fees and Financial Aid
Approx 50000/- for 3 year course (bcom H) and 65000/- for 4 year course (bcom H with a minor and research) Scholarships are available, and discounted rates are available for Quotas. The fee structure and scholarships can be found easily on UOD (du) portal and also while applying the students will be informed. Placement is good from the college. The average package is a little less though. There are several internships and other such programs, summer part time jobs etc available for all students.
Campus Life
There are various fests and events held annually. Each department has their own annual fest and there's one main college fest where every society organises some or the other events. Fest season is typically feb-march-april. Other times of the year we have several conferences, competitions, events, seminars, webinars, etc held. There is an amazing variety of books from academic reference books to novels, magazines, journals, and even daily newspapers (5 different newspapers) in english as well as hindi. There are smart classrooms and they are all spacious and ventilated. There are almost all kinds of sports available- badminton court, volleyball, hand ball, basketball, cricket, football, carrom, chess, table tennis and other indoor games as well. Gym equipments are also available. Student union is there in out college too.
Admission
CUET is the entrance exam for the course. GT+English+Accts/Maths+ Any other domain subject After CUET results are announced, DU CSAS portal opens and candidates need to fill in the form and preference list. The students maybe alloted any of the colleges in the preference list. The student then has two options- to take admission in the college (FREEZE) or to wait for second round for a better college (UPGRADE) MAC, DU is an off campus college and requires a CUET score of about 600-650 for general category and 400+ for Quotas. The portal site hangs a lot, and is very delayed.
Faculty
1:65 is the average faculty-to-student ratio. It's a good enough ratio as for lectures. For tutorial classes (doubt lectures) the faculty-to-student ratio is 20:1, enabling students to clarify doubts easily and effectively. Each faculty member has a different approach though, it's usually like 3 lectures and 1 doubt class, each week (in batches of 15-25 students). The faculty is quite friendly and approachable. We can contact them easily for any doubts or queries, even on the whatsapp groups or personal chats. There are assignments and 1 internal test towards the end of the semester to mark IA, and CA.
