College life at Hindu College

The course curriculum is nicely built focusing on every aspect of the subject. The vast reach of this field brought me here to pursue it. The curriculum prepared is for real world understanding and with the inclusion of research degree it may benefit more.

The internship opportunities are mostly off campus, but the college societies related to internships provide a good support. The college admin is also supportive in terms of support and providing any required process for approval by college. Students do many internships with different organisations and companies, and learn new skills which teach them real life engagement.

Formal campus placements are limited here according to me. Hindu College is primarily known for strong academic environment rather than placements. Most prefer higher studies or competitive exams. Though some companies visit Hindu College like Accenture. There is a separate placement cell of Hindu College called Disha.

The year wise fees that I paid is 27000 Rupees. Though the college holds some scholarships which the students can enroll while studying in the college. One such scholarship is Raj Bhargava Scholarship. Apart from this, the fee varies for different categories, for example, the foreign students are charged almost double than tha Indian students. If a student is an orphan, he has to pay almost negligible amount. Within these two years, I experienced a little hike in the fees which is normally acceptable. But the overall average remains 27000 Rupees only.

The campus life is too much vibrant. Each and every society has their own functions their own fests. Adding to that the college organizes its own events. The facilities are regularly looked upon and maintained. The classrooms are equipped with projectors for digital access and some are air conditioned too. The sports facilities are also at a good stance, which has provided players like Gautam Gambhir and Arshpreet Bhullar to the country. The different societies create an all inclusive environment in the college which helps in personal development also.

The admission process in Hindu College is through CUET entrance exam. But there are certain reservations and quotas for different eligible candidates. These include reservations for SC,ST and OBC, Sports Quota, ECA quota and others. I came to this college through sports quota which required a sports trial apart from the CUET examination. I got the option to go in Shivaji College for Political Science and English Honours. But I chose Hindu because of the availability of the best faculties and the overall vibrant culture here.

The faculty to student ratio is very good which can be understood by the fact that in Political Science only, there are around 8 faculty members for all 4 years. All of them are very approachable and they assist us in all the chores. The exams are held once per semester, i.e. 2 exams per year. These exams are of moderate level which can be cleared with the good understanding of the papers.

I had to the Common University Entrance Test (CUET) in order to get the admission. The topics vary according to the subjects which the candidate had while pursuing class 12, in addition to a General Test. I prepared for this exam through NCERTs. For students who apply for quotas have to face one more selection process depending upon their quota. Apart from it, there was not any Group Discussion or Written Test.

The college is situated near areas like Vijay Nagar, Kamla Nagar and Roop Nagar which provide good hangout options for students. They offer different cafeterias and gums where people can access. The hostel in timings are around 10 PM which ensures safety. The surrounding area of the college makes it accessible for different services.
