Great college, great atmosphere, placements can be improved

Economics is a subject that you just can't understand without having practical application to the real world, and the curriculum made sure that we were taught exactly that. Even the faculty made sure that we know how to the textbooks with real world scenarios. One change that should be made according to me is that students should be allowed, and given opportunities for internships.

There were no specific that recruited, but big names like MPL did come to recruit. Other than that, there were startups like TWF Flours and Global Weddings that came to recruit. Mostly, these were business development and social media marketing roles. There were not a lot of companies to choose from. One had to look for companies on their own for internships

There were not really good companies hiring for economics hons students, only in sales and management roles. Mostly startups came to recruit, which is why most students from our batch didn't sit in the placements. Average package offered was 4.5-5 LPA. I personally did not sit in the placements since I already had a job in hand that I found on my own, through a friend.

My program's fees was about ?7000 for the first year, about ?7500 for the second and about ?8000 for the third. The government does give aid to EWS students. For internships, students will have to majorly look by themselves for opportunities, since the college does not provide them. Maitreyi does not have a lot of scope to earn while studying.

The annual fest of rhapsody is really good and happening. Maitreyi during fest season is very happening, and everyday there was a department fest happening. During our time (batch of 2023), we only experienced 1 fest, which took place in February. The library was pretty huge, with a versatile collection of books and great internet connectivity. There were a lot of societies to choose from and they used to conduct a lot of activities throughout the year- departments and societies both.

During the time of my admission, admissions were on the basis of class 12th best of 4 score. The eligibility was between 97.5-94.5% for economics hons. in 2020. You could easily download the form on DU's official website, and a minimal fees of 100 was taken. This was during the covid lockdown, hence everything was shifted online. Otherwise, you have to go to north campus office of DU to physically buy and fill the form, which can be shifted to online mode in my opinion. This happens in may, usually.

The student- teacher ratio is 60:1, but 20-30 students attend a class, so I'd say that you will get Personalised attention, if required. The teachers are extremely cooperative and approachable, and will clear all doubts. The only bad part about the faculty was that a teacher left the job and they had a hard time finding a replacement for her, so things were a little messy, but the new teacher was great, and the best one in the faculty
