Course Curriculum Overview

4

I'm very much interested in literature and I love to read that's why I choose this course. Person who is curious to learn about literature will definitely love the eng hons course. This course helps you to develop the critical thinking which are very useful to interpret ideas and analyze situation logistically. It also helps you to develop the communication skills which are very useful in every career. You build confidence and enhace your public speaking skills by regular presentation and discussions. The curriculum is highly theory based so it will be better to add more modules like creative writing workshop, content writing and digital communication would make it more career-oriented.Student often struggle to connect literature with career oriented jobs. The course could include internships and project work. The level of english paper are generally moderate as you need to critically analyse the text you read in your syllabus. You can score very well if you have the knowledge of critics and the text.

Fees and Financial Aid

Fees of daulat ram college depends on the course one is pursuing. Usually, the fees of B.A.(Hons.) English is 32,000/year. If the course is related to science field then you have to pay extra fee for the lab also. There is also a good scholarship for the people whose income is lower than 8,00,000/annum. You can easily apply for that scheme and take advantage of it. There's also a specific provision for EWS and PwD categories with reduced application fee for some courses. While tution fee are similar for mainly UG courses, different fee structure often exist for SC/ST/OBC/PwD students especially for application/entrance fees. DRC often have various scholarships like NSP(National scholarship Portal)for minorities. DRC affiliates the applications and may offer a college specific fees concession of around 10,000 per year for financialy disadvantaged students. But the concession you receive from NSP entirely dependens on the specific NSP scheme you are eligible for.

Campus Life

4

There is an annual fest in drc called Majari which is very good and entertaining and also festive related fests like on diwali. The overall campus life is very good and vibrant as it lies in the north campus - the heart of delhi university. You can read as many books as you want in library but you should have your college id card. DRC is very much active in the societies and extra curriculars and you can always get an opportunity to show your skills and talent. There are so many meaningful societies like WDC, NSS which teaches us the need to help people around you and become a better person by creating a good impact on other's life.

Admission

As I applied only for delhi university college and I really wanted to get in girls college. As we have to give an exam - CUET to get in colleges of delhi university and all colleges have different cutoffs. The admission process is quite exhausting as it is very long. First you have to give CUET and then wait for your marks then make your preference lists and then you will get college according to your scores and preference lists. Most preferred courses in du are B.com hons, political science hons, English hons, etc.

Faculty

4

The faculty of drc is very supportive and understanding. You can always seek them for help in your studies or doubts. Especially the faculty of my course which is english honours is just great. They are very knowledgeable and helpful. There's not such faculty whom I didn't like because everyone is just simply great. Usually there are mid sems and end sems exams and the difficulty level is moderate. They're not that much hard and you can easily score great by having the knowledge of your syllabus.

Night Life

You can find so many affordable pg and cafes around the college as it is the main spot for every du student. There's also a fixed timing for the pg and campus for the safety of students. The classee usually gets over around 5-6 pm. The general timing of closing for the pg is 10 pm. The area is quite safe as it is surrounded by students mainly.

Remarks:

Positive : the faculties are good and I could say our college is the meeting place of various cultures ranging from Kerala to jammukashmir Negative: the infrastructure is poor. Labs and libraries are not so good. And there are stray dogs who often steps into classes and make us afraid. College is not fully air conditioned but is on processing.
