Course Curriculum Overview

2

The course curriculum is though according to NEP butnis very outdated, in our major subject like I have German and papers of English, we are not studying any professional expertise subject even in our third year. Just theories.

Internships Opportunities

4

There are a number of unpaid ones. The selection process is easy as the name of the college and student Quality is decent. There are certain paid ones also mostly offering marketing roles. Preferably for commerce students. But yes one can get a number of internship opportunities.

Fees and Financial Aid

The fee structure for the BA program at Delhi College of Arts and Commerce (DCAC) includes an annual tuition fee of ?9,800, which amounts to ?29,400 for the entire three-year duration. In addition to this, students are required to pay an examination fee of ?1,500 (depending upon number of papers) per semester. Since the program consists of six semesters, the total examination fee sums up to ?9,000 approx. Therefore, the overall cost for the BA program, including tuition and examination fees, comes to ?38,400 over three years. This amount does not include additional expenses such as hostel charges, library fees, or other miscellaneous costs, which may be applicable depending on the college’s policies.

Campus Life

2

The Infrastructure is very bad as I mentioned, the canteen is worthless, the campus is very small, and there are outdated classroom, but because of NAAC teams arrival we get a chance to get a sort of good and clean classroom in our final year. There are a number of societies, like dancing, advertisment, placement, singing, debating, etc. We can join anyone of them very easily, just we have to work a lot in it. Apart from this the student Quality is also decent but can be better. I think the cutoffs should be made more competitive to ensure good quality of students in the campus.

Admission

I just want to pursue a foreign language course. So this is the only option in DU, apart from this I have applied to JNU in that I was getting Russian Language but that was not as per my choice. If I was able to make it in JNU, then I might get many Benifits like placements, exposure, and most importantly practical subject to study in an language like, translation tools etc. The admission process is very simple, just appear in CUET, get the score fill out form and bravo you will be selected, if you have a decent one.

Faculty

There are good facuties in DCAC. However they are not willing to teach, that's the another matter. I profoundly like some of our English professors, though they are also the same but they are open to the students who are willing to learn. In our class there are 12-100 students depending upon the subject we are studying. Generally if I take a general sense from my EVS Class there is one teacher on approximately 120-150 students of particular semester, and there are 3 semesters running consequently in a particular time. The professors ofent don't repeat for professional courses like ge, vac and sec, thats a good thing we, come across new interpretetion and perspectives.

Interview Experience

4

No, I have not faced any type of interview while admission. There was a councelling process only, where I have registered in du portal and got admission by paying fee. Then when the classes got started I connected with the teachers they started classes of our group and after 4 months there was a document verification. No complications were faced in admission. There was an informative introduction session too.

Night Life

2

There is a place called mini near the college that is our sutta bar, so one can hangout there, and apart form this there is a netaji nagar market that is not very happening, often students, go there for lunch. The most of the area around the college is expensive or in redevelopment. Which makes it a non-happening place.

Other Applied Colleges

Jawaharlal Nehru University - [JNU] | German

Was not selected in cutoff list.

Banaras Hindu University - [BHU] | Bachelor of Fine Arts [BFA]

Was very far from my location.

Course Curriculum Overview:

Too vague to understand, feels extra burden of unnecessary irrelevant topics , extra papers like SEC/VAC simply add to the burden while barely providing with any skills and values as their name suggests . Studying them and preparing for exams add extra stress and unnecessary burden on them , diverting their focus from their core papers , which are already too huge and they study materials or readings simply fail to assist . Areas for improvement would be - proper structured study materials , also proper structured practical subjects / papers for students where they can actually learn or gain knowledge/skills which will be advantageous in their future .

Placement Experience:

I would say the placement opportunities are more available for science , commerce background students in the college there are rarely any placement opportunities for humanities background students . Mostly students starts engaging in placement in the fifth semester .severky companies visited campus every year including Deloitte , EY.TCS etc . Around 40 - 50 percent students from professional courses get the placement annually .even for the students not opting for placement the exposure n the strong alumni network of college help them secure good opportunities outside campus
