Jesus and Mary College (DU)

Sociology (Hons) deeply studies human behaviour, social structures, and societal norms and equips students with enhanced research study. This degree offers a wide range of social work, government, NGOs and a commitment to social change.

Internships and placements depend on the course chosen by the students. Generally, B.Com and BVOC students go for internships but others can also try even outside of college. Since my course did not have much to do with internships, I have less input to give about it.

From the last year onwards the students become eligible for campus placements, however, meeting the placement requirements like the overall CGPA. Companies like Deloitte, Ernst and Young and many other famous ones do visit for campus placements. Placements depend on the course taken like B.Com students have a higher chance of placement than humanities courses students. Although internships can be done even midway through the course. I will go for my PG.

1st year- 15000 2nd year- 20000 3rd year- 25000 The fees increases every year. However, compared to other colleges in Delhi University like MLNC or Ramlal Anand JMC's fees is very high. MLNC per year fees was 7k. Scholarships are also given to sports students or financially weak students after applying.

MONTAGE, the annual JMC fest is held every year by the student council of the college. Apart from that many other society fests keep on happening. The campus life is pretty vibrant with a lot of fresh air and a beautiful campus, An open gym is there too with a proper gym as well. A very big football and cricket ground. Various clubs and societies keep a student occupied throughout college life, sometimes it gets hectic but it is also very fun and a new learning experience. The sports society is one of the biggest in college.

Jesus and Mary College is one of the most prestigious colleges at Delhi University and has an impressive student-teacher ratio and a very dedicated faculty. I had applied to Sri Venkateshwara College and JMC and I got accepted at both the colleges but I chose JMC considering all the factors. Like Saint Stephens College, JMC also functions on its own but works with the UGC. JMC accepts the CUET exam for course eligibility and cut-offs differ in each course.

The student-teacher ratio is 40:1. The faculty is very nice, motivating, and approachable. There is an exam per semester so if your course is 3 years then 6 semesters and 6 exams followed by regular internal assessments. The exams are doable if you have a good command over the previous year questions.

The nightlife is pretty exciting if you are someone who enjoys going out and having fun. Since it is in the centre of south Delhi, I believe it to be safe for a female. Haus Khas is very famous among students and places like Majnu ka Tila is a daily spot. Khan Market is also very near for aesthetic cafe hopping. The central Delhi library is also near for aspirants and avid readers. There is no on-campus hostel but there are a few around college that are opted by students. Classes generally get over by 5 pm. Satya Niketan is the most common place for south campus students.
