Course Curriculum Overview

4

Curriculum carries latest philosophical discourse which is rare in indian universities, as in most of them, they are teaching old out of date stuff. In DU you can see that courses offered keep changing almost every year based on the demand. The curriculum will provide you enough topics for your net exam as well as your phd.

Fees and Financial Aid

Annual fees is INR 7130/- Additionally you have to pay INR 710/- every semester as an examination fees Complete fee waiver can be applied for through Delhi University & All India Post –Graduate Scholarship

Campus Life

3

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

5

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

3

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.

Course Curriculum Overview:

I have always held that the training I recieved during my masters programme prepared the grounds for my future development. The teaching pedagogy was centres around participation and a two way dialogue. I am not in the capacity to be suggesting improvements in curriculum as my stint in the university was almost perfect- more than I could have ever asked for.

Course Curriculum Overview:

The course curriculum is well designed by the renowned professors and faculty members from different universities in India and from abroad as well. The content was choosen keeping in mind to cover all the aspects of the specific subject for a pg student. As I mentioned before, the quality of study material was very good and helpful and very enough. But the pg thesis is missing from our course, due to which we were not able to do a research project. It appears to me after the completion of my first year that we can do our research under our given faculty but it wasn't mentioned in the course structure as it is mainly upto our faculties.

Course Curriculum Overview:

For the course i must say that this is something everyone needs to study about even if it's for just a part. We have ethics, moral, cultural relativism and etc. In our syllabus and it all really help to make our thinking rational, to see World from that point of view from where one can see the clarity. It's really necessary for improvement in personality and making good decision. I think there's need for making this course more practical like teaching, we can teach students about essentials of philosophy for there betterment of decision making from an early age.

The course that I opted for is Political Science and it is very relevant to the exam that I am preparing for. I often take help of the online material they provide.
