Dislikes
- Thing I didn't like was the busy and hectic schedule. It restricted our participation in various other extra curricular activities and restricted us mostly to our course structure only
- Class size was 55 which kind of made it difficult for teachers to provide individual attention. Students who opted for language hindi were more at loss as the reading material was a little difficult to access.
Course Curriculum Overview
The curriculum was well designed and equipped with a scope for open learning and other creative methods too. The curriculum had included most of the teaching methods thay cater to small groups and help provide individualised attention such as assignments, project work, tutorial, etc. We were given interesting topics for assignments wherein we were supposed to observe our surroundings for a well stipulated time and write our analysis based on the same. It was totally different from copy paste method. The idea of teaching that this course and curriculum has provided us is far beyond the actual situation of education system in India. It is based on practical methods and allowed us to get insights into real life situations and how we can apply these teaching methods to our future classrooms
Fees and Financial Aid
The tuition fees hike is a practice I'm personally not in favour of..it puts a burden on out station students as it becomes difficult for them to manage their living expenses as well as college tuition fees. Getting a seat in the hostel is another struggle for them. Amount if scholarships and financial aid is also not very widely known or discussed. Some students fail to get the benefit of it due to lack of information. The students who actually deserve it find it hard to approach the concerned authorities due to unavailablity of resources. As far as campus employment is concerned, I was a part of placement cell in first year and applied for various internships but none of them provided stipend. They hardly gave an LOR. Mostly it was just a certificate of participation
Campus Life
Tarang was the biggest annual festival in the college. Aprt from that there was noor, diwali festival held annually. Thwre was wide variety of books available in the library and help was also provided to find the journals and other books using computerised method. A sports fest was also held annually that allowed participation from various other colleges as well. Almost all the sports were given importance such as badminton, volleyball, cricket, shooting, lawn tennis, judo etc. Student run federation was also quite popular such as student federation of india, AISA DU. For easily access to books and journals JSTOR access was provided to students. It had almost all the journals published. In the classroom smart class access was also provided for better access of presentations.

More gap can be provided to wnsure ensure smooth flow of admission process such as 5-6 days and volunteers should be allotted that could guide the stufents better during the admission process. These volunteers can provide an insight into the college faculty, infrastructure, course structure and other specificities.
Faculty
I'm under qualified to answer that but the faculty that I got was commendable. I'm more than grateful to share the same space with such well qualified and knowledgeable teachers. They provided us with a safe space to approach them for any inconvenience and always guided us like our fellow mates. One thing I liked the most in our discussions was that the teachers never limited us to the syllabus. They encouraged us to find our own meanings and create our own learning. They provided us with the material but never followed the spoon feeding method. They used those methods that they would expect us to use in our future classrooms which were mostly learner centric. Wven tho the faculty to student ratio was 1:55. They never made us feel underconfident or clueless, always devoted specified time to give individual attention and address our concerns even though it meant making tutorials mandatory. One of my personal favourite method was brainstorming which ensured maximum participation in the c
