What Students Say

Likes

I liked that you can complete a degree and not have to worry about going back and forth for classes everyday.
One can give exams easily by selecting the study centre as per their comfort and examination process is also quite smooth.

Dislikes

Getting enough information here is a big task, it's a vicious circle where if you want to get the information from regional centre they ask you to go

Course Curriculum Overview

Apart from the teachers and university the books and study materials provided by the university are actually very good and insightful, if a person is able to study by themselves properly they would be able to learn a lot. The examination level is somewhere around medium to difficult but if one has prepared properly from the books they would be able to get good grades easily.

Class Size: 100Course Fees: INR 4500 per year

Fees and Financial Aid

One has to pay the fees on yearly basis the fees is generally around 4000 to 5000/- or a little more depending on the course. We have to pay exam fees separately which is around 200/- per subject, so if a person has around 8 subjects they would pay 1600/-. There are no scholarships since the fee itself is quite minimal, and after the course there is no guaranteed placement, atleast not from college's side, one can explore it on their own.

Campus Life

Being an open university there are no campus as such, the only time one has to visit college is for the exams or assignments etc. Other than that there is no social aspect to this university. There is just a group of students who keep in touch for any updates about assignments, practicals etc.

Admission

No exams are conducted for the admissions, anyone who is eligible can take admission here, for a bachelor's degree the criteria for admission is 12th pass and for master's degree, the eligibility criteria is graduation. The admission process is not a task, the forms generally come out twice a year in june and in January, one can take admission accordingly.

Best time of my life

Placement Experience:

Since I am from Arts deparemt, there were not much options and I did not sit in the placements I cannot say much about it here. Although there were seminars related to differents fellowship options such as Gandhi fellowship, Texah for India. Some people from my department got in them and they are doing fine as of now so yes there are option once your are in the campus you'll get to know about them.

My journey at Kirori Mal college

Placement Experience:

I would say the placement opportunities are more available for science , commerce background students in the college there are rarely any placement opportunities for humanities background students . Mostly students starts engaging in placement in the fifth semester .severky companies visited campus every year including Deloitte , EY.TCS etc . Around 40 - 50 percent students from professional courses get the placement annually .even for the students not opting for placement the exposure n the strong alumni network of college help them secure good opportunities outside campus

Life at one of the top girls college in delhi

Course Curriculum Overview:

The curriculum for my course, economics hons. , I would say is very relevant to our day to day life. The curriculum set by the university doesn't focus only on indian economics but economies through out the world. The suggested books are also the top books used in many international top universities. The curriculum provides us with a lot of real world applications through various case studies. For exams the delhi university guidlines are followed and I would say now the exams are based on more of practical usage and how materials taught in class are applied in real life.

END THE END BEST UNIVERSITY FOR STUDENTS

Course Curriculum Overview:

I would rate the course curriculum overall as 7/10 for relevance, and 6.5/10 for comprehensiveness. The curriculum included practical / lab / workshop components, which promised hands?on experience. That was a big factor for me. I felt that I wouldn’t just learn theory, but also get to apply it. It offered some electives or optional subjects, so there is some flexibility to explore interests outside the core. The syllabus was fairly up?to?date in many subjects: courses include contemporary topics (to some extent) and recent tools or methods. It also seemed designed to allow further academic pursuit: good coverage of fundamentals makes it possible to do postgraduate work.

Love and Hate relationship with my college

Placement Experience:

Placements are really average in our college. Students become eligible mostly from 3 rd year only but there are also placement opportunity for 1st and 2nd year as well but less than 3rd years. Hike edu, Kpmg they visited this year only. Kpmg came to hire only bcom and bcom h students. The highest average package offered till now is 600000. 10% students get the placement I think it's not about the college because they can only bring the companies the interview and gd round is upto the students they have to clear it by themselves. I want to work in banking sector I will be trying to clear banking exams.

Like any other course this course too has its pros and cons. It is very different from the fictional or non-fictional books you read. One must have an interest for English language as it has no grammar. It's just the language portion that will be taught.

Ignou: Flexibility And Disappointment

I had also applied in DU for B.Sc. (Hons) Statistics but the cutoffs were very high and only a few top colleges offered that course. DU SOL also did not provide B.Sc. courses at that time, so I finally chose IGNOU. The admission process is fully online through the IGNOU website. You need to sign in, upload your Class 10 and 12 marksheets, Aadhaar or other supporting documents, fill personal details, and pay the course fee. For most courses you just need to pass Class 12, but for some courses there is a percentage requirement or specific subjects needed to study in class 12 like in my case maths. My overall admission experience was okay, but the approval process took a long time. In my case, it took almost 3 months to finally get the confirmation of admission....Read More
