- The cafeteria and the quality as well as variety of food could be one issue that needs a bit of improvement as a lot of day scholars come from a way across so that would be helpful.

Course Curriculum Overview
The aspects that this is goverment university and quality as well as the experience of professors here is a great factor why I choose this course here. Also there university holds time to time exams mid terms after 3 months of start of semester and end terms at end of semester. One thing I feel could be improved is number of lectures taken of each course and specifically those of value added and skill enhancement courses. The university also provides different foreign language certificate courses which could be done along side your own degrres.

Hostel Facilities
The hostel for boys contains individual rooms the mess is in ground floor . The quality of food is at moderate level although it needs improvements in terms of hygiene. The mess committee set up in hostels by students decides upon the menu . Registration process for hostel starts just after the declaration of merit list. It is based on merit system . If one is not able to get hostels there are a number of pgs and rental room Available near University. At a walking distance from University gate one can easily get a room of pg. A place called the pg canteen is exactly at a distance of 1 km from University which provides good residence as well as great food .
Admission
I applied for Delhi University, BHU as well as JNU. The reason I didn't went there are in Delhi University I wasn't able to get the best colleges of North campus and in south campus residence as well as other expenses were out of my budget. The reason for not going to BHU were that I play professional cricket and I was having my state camp while I got admission in BHU throgh CUET but that somehow came into my camp timing. In case of JNU I wasn't able to get pass the cutoff. Our university takes admission based on entrance exam conducted by our own university and cut off is declared and students are enrolled on basis of them.
Faculty
The faculty-to- student ratio of Doon University is 100 for 2000 which was last calculated. The faculty to student relation here is very easy going and the faculty members are always available to help students. Even the clerical department is also very helpful and available to students. The quality of teaching is far above average but could still be improved on a level of number of lectures taken The exams held on semester basis, NEP pattern is followed in our university internals also happen in form of presentation or assignment work. The course curriculum is reassuring and helpful even in preparation of competitive exams.
Night Life
The hostels both boys hostel (Shivalik boys hostel) and both the girls hostel ( Alaknanda and Mandakini) includes mess service as well as basic gym equipments. Although it can surely be improved. The cafeteria serive is one which needs to be improved as variety and quality of food is not up to the marks. Library of our university is one feature which is good and regularly improving . It beholds a variety of books from curriculum to competitive exams and to fiction, novels biographies as well. The timing for boys hostel is 10 pm during Summers and 9 30 during winters the same goes for girls hostel as well. The hangout spots near our university are CSB (Chai sutta bar) , Start cup cafe , angeethi cafe, feel hungry cafe all of them are safe and surround places to be in . Inside college students like to chill out or wind there day by sitting near ground in our open air theater also has indoor courts where students play badminton and table tennis.
