Campus Life
There are no festivals, clubs or student chapters for masters students in DU, although there are two events every year that is freshers party and a farewell party. We have access to three libraries, first is central library of delhi, secont is arts faculty library that is open 24/7 and third is our philosophy department library where you will find a vast array of books and journals related to our course as well as other extra reading material
Admission
I took admission through CUET-PG and applied for MA Philosophy in three universities, JNU, DU, BHU. I couldn't clear JNUs cut off and BHUs course is too much indian philosphy oriented when i wanted more western philosophical aspects to be taught hence i finally went with DU
Faculty
Faculty is amazing and very approachable. You are free to ask your doubts in the middle of the lectures, and if you dont want to do that you can find them in there cabins and they will be very welcoming and hospitable. There are two exams in one semester, internals and finals. Internals carry 30% weightage and finals carry 70% weightage. Curricul is up to date and it is not very difficult to pass the exam
Night Life
Library is open all night and you will find people pulling all nighters there. There are many canteens and eating spots that are filled with students chatting and chilling after class. There are late night clubs in Hudson lane which is walkable from north campus colleges if you are into that sort of stuff.
