Course Curriculum Overview
I think the BA History Hons course curriculum has all the concepts that must be included. Yes, some of the current relevant topics and concepts may be missing but, overall the course is fun to learn and easy to understand only if you have a passion for history. The course includes History of different countries like Japan, Korea, China etc that makes students ware of the Global History too. The exams are usually kept at a moderate level so that students can easily score good marks and pass it. It is a 3 hour long examination and is hed in different months based on Delhi University's guidelines each year.
Internships Opportunities
The college has its own placement cell that offers placement and internship opportunities to students of 3rd Year and 4th Year. The students of 3rd Year are permitted to enroll and register themselves into the placement cell in order to get the benefits of internships and placement. The highest salary package that was offered in 2023 was 21 lakhs per annum and the average package was around 6.50 lakhs per annum. The major recruiters of Jesus and Mary college are Accenture, HCL, Deloitte, ICICI Bank etc.
Fees and Financial Aid
The tuition fee for BA History Hons has increased from 15,150 to 21,650 per semester. The complete cost of my course is 1 lakh 23 thousand which I think is pretty affordable for students studying in DU. Students receive scholarships based on their merit. There are fee concessions offered to those students who may not be able to afford the course fees. The Book Bank Scheme is one such scheme that is offered to needy students. Another scheme is the ' Student Aid Fund ' which offers aid to needy students. Scholarships include the Kesar Memorial Prize, The Mary Abraham Scholarship, and the Visalakshmi Menon Award. The tuition fee is around 180 per sem and all other fees are included in the final fee which amounts to 20,625.

The admission process is pretty effortless compared to other universities and may not require any change.
Faculty
The faculty is highly educated, most of them are very kind and would help you when you find it difficult to understand a concept. There are some of them who may be biased towards some students but this happens very rarely. The faculty knows how to make students understand a concept very easily by giving real world examples. Some of them are so friendly that you can even call them whenever you want to clarify your doubts. My learning experience was too good with all my department faculty members. They all are highly approachable and kind.They are always their to guide you whenever you are lost in your way.
Interview Experience
The college hold reservation facilities for Christian student and usually hold interview round for them. The college accepts admission for general student on the basis of their merit. I personally did not have to go through any interview for this.
