Many new classes were also made with well made facilities such as presentor for a good teaching experience. 4) there are numerous societies, clubs in the college. Such as music, dance, debate societies. U need to be every engageful in the societies and have to attend them properly while also balancing your college studies.

Admission

1) me and my batchmates all gave cuet. Through cuet we filled the colleges names and our name came up on the list. So we were assigned this college through cuet and we had to accept it. I chose this college because Delhi university students are well known. And i also heard the history dept of daulat ram college is pretty good 2) i didn't apply for other colleges than du colleges and i got daulat ram assigned to me thus i took it. 3) the exam through which u get admission in du is through CUET only. The eligibility is you have to pass you 12th with atleadt 45 percentage. And you have to have studied the subjects in your 12th for those whom u appeared in the CUET exams for. The cutoffs depend on the year and also the marks of the students. The cutt offs go usually high for delhi university. For my course and my college, the cut offs were 740+ for general and different for other reservationsl categories. You can also get admission through sports category, where you will have to give an exam for you respective sport. The cut offs also depend on the course. For eg. the cut offs for psychology courses are usually higher as it is offered in some selective colleges of delhi university only. 4) the cuet exams are pretty easy if u are well versed of your twelfth.

Faculty

4

1)The faculty to student ratio is satisfactory, the professors are very approachable and will help in any kind of questions 2) my own faculty (history) is good. The professors are very well versed and you get to learn a lot from them in addition to experiences. The political science faculty is also good. And also the psychology department. 3)don't know much about other faculties 4) there are in total two exams- one mid sem and end sem. Mid sems are easy if u prepare from the first of the semester. And if u prepare for the mid sems u just need to prepare the needed materials and it will be good.

Interview Experience

1

No i did not appear for any interview rounds as for the college and my course DU only allows admissions through the CUET process and once u get your marks you will be allotted to a college and either you will have to accept it or you can reject and wait for another list for another college

Night Life

5

1)The whole area is very student friendly as students from different parts of india come to study. 2) if u live in a flat nightlife is very amazing but even if live in hostel or pg there are not much restrictions and u can explore the whole delhi gradually. 3) hostel have an intime of about 8:30 or 9 and they let exceptions 2-3 times in the month. The campus life is very happening if you make it. 4) i live in old gypta colony, which is filled witu students. There are various places to hangout. The most famous in the north campus, are tom uncle's maggie point, sudama's chai, dolma aunty's momo and many more.

Course Curriculum Overview:

the curriculum is decided by delhi university, economics wing and is followed by all the colleges of du, although few topic are often irrevelent which teachers tend to skip. i do feel that curriculum is pretty old and they should introduce new topic which are more related to reak=l world and give us real life experience not just bookish knowledge which is irelevent. they should also ask for students input related to their curriculum, teachers sometimes tedn to just do book reading. internal exmas are taken frequently and difficulty is 3 out of 5

Course Curriculum Overview:

It is a good course. I went for it mainly because I am preparing for UPSC CSE (pretty common around here). In that context the course is helpful, and also for those aiming to enter research, academia, museology, archaeology etc. However there are not many placement opportunities and for most it would be better to pursue masters later on. Teaching methods are inclusive, both english and hindi medium students can comfortably study. However both students and faculties have some complaints regarding the curriculum changes under NEP such as the sequence of courses in each sem.

Course Curriculum Overview:

Course is rightly designed. Plus the teachers often suggest books that can be read from library regarding course topics. The library is very nice here. I used to study in the library for long hours. The exam notes and everything is available at the photocopy shop that's inside the college. Writing this review really made me miss the college more

Initially i took this course beacuse i filled it as a backup for coming into delhi university but now i can say that the course is very interesting and it is practically applicable in daily life.

Reviewed on Aug 16, 2024(Enrolled 2022)

Placement Experience:

Campus placement is done in the 3rd year. The highest PPO given is 24,00,000 to auditing and taxation departments. Average package is about ?15,00,000 to ?18,00,000. Companies like Eay, KPMG and more visit our college for placement. Most students under the commerce department get offered internships. Other than this, the placement cell also actively keeps sending internship opportunities for students to enhance their profiles. I am an English honours student l, thus there is no placement option for me directly unless I take up options from the P-Cell. I have already interned at EY India, Gurgaon, as a forensics and risk management specialist( throigh personal referral).My knowledge (attained from DCAC) of research, report and article writing were used adequately.

Placement Experience:

Generally, after BA no one is placed and even if we apply for a job we don't get a good package. So, students generally go for masters or some other courses through which they can get placements. Talking of college placement and internship cell we don't have very good facilities as very limited companies are there for recruiting students. Many students don't even get the internship. This is a major negative point of college.
