I applied to all the colleges which provided Bcom Hons course. I was selected to Swami Vivekananda College for Bcom course Via Extra curricular score. I got selected into Bharati College, and Shyam Lal evening college on the basis of my marks in the first 2 rounds. Being a Christian minority candidate, finally I appeared for a PI round at Jesus and Mary College and got shortlisted. JMC was the top college that I applied to, and therefore I chose JMC. I got a rejection from other colleges, as My CUET scores were average and not upto the mark. The application process for JMC is, firstly they will be screening your CUET marks and application. Mostly the cutoff at JMC is 90% and above for General category. Seats are very limited. Christian candidates have an advantage here, as even 50% scores can get you at JMC, provided you ace the PI round. The only exam which is accepted for the course/JMC/ Delhi University is CUET.

For a class strength of 50-60, every subject has 1 teacher for lecture. For tutes, and practicals, separate teachers are assigned, and same class maybe divided into groups of 2 or 3, for better performance evaluation, and teaching efficiency. Most of the teachers are approachable and friendly, especially in the Department of Commerce.The Commerce faculty is known for their young, and outgoing teachers. Be it teaching, dancing, tripping, or sharing memories, and problems, teachers are wholesome. Some faculty members are very stringent, and sometimes their teaching methods are not efficient, and monotonous. At the end of every semester, we have our final exams for each subject. Practicals are there for subjects which have the practical component. Internal and continuous assessments are there for every subjects, which vary according to the credit weightage for each subject. The exams are usually easy, designed in such a manner that an average student is able to attempt and answer. However, once in blue moon, some practical subjects do set a tough paper. But the checking is appropriated accordingly.

Applicants have to first give CUET entrance test. 90% usually is the cutoff for JMC students, unless you are a Christian candidate. Non christian students need not appear for any interview rounds, they are selected on the basis of their merit records. However, christian students are called for a personal interview round. For Christian students, the cutoff percentage is relaxed, and they are evaluated purely on the basis of their interview performance. As a Christian candidate, I prepared well for questions like my involvement in church, and social works, and other general couse related questions were also asked, as to why I chose the course, what are my future plans, etc.
