Hansraj College - The life inside those red walls

First and foremost , the course in question in Bcom Hons. The course is highly relevant and suggested to students pursuing their career in finance . Course curriculum is directly complimentary to CA foundation syllabus. Further , the Internal and continuous assesments challenges us to get out of our comfort zone via , regular class presentations , for example. The difficulty of the exam is on the moderate level, almost all students pass their exams unless or until they aren't fully prepared due to whatsoever circumstances.

The internship cell of the college is pretty much active. They regularly update about internship openings in respective course groups . Various roles are offered depending upon your course. In case of bcom hons, for example , internships roles include interns in marketing , AI , finance , HR , consulting and project management including more generic roles are junior project coordinators .

Placements i would say are quite decent and ROI is great as compared to the course fee . Top recruiters include Deloitte , KPMG , EY , PwC , Accenture , De shaw , Wipro etc. The average package ranges from 5-7 lpa. While the highest may touch 20+ lpa. However, All the students do not opt for placements. Many go for MBA or higher studies , some continue to pursue their professional courses. However , out of all the students willing to get placed , 80% and more of them are easily placed. My personal plans after the degree include CAT or GMAT and MBA.

The fee structure for the entire course is very affordable . The annual fee ranges from 28,000 to 35,000 depending upon one's course . My fee for first year was 31,435 INR, bcom hons. There are numerous scholarships available for students from financially underprivileged background.

The annual fest of hansraj is called "Confluence" which may be a 2 or 3 days event. The campus gets very vibrant and lively during these events and fests. Musicians and artists are invited to perform while various inter college competitions are held. Societies hold events almost every month ranging from society oriented annual events or simpler yet valuable speaker sessions. The campus life is one word is very "happening" , especially during fests and events. As far as facilities are concerned , books are easily available for issue . Computer labs are accessible to students for technical work. Many students are involved in sports and equipments are provided for the same.

I didn't apply for any other universities since i was certain that I'll get into DU. I was allotted hansraj college in the first allocation round and i didn't opt for further upgrade and freezed my admission. The admission process is very simple , everything is digitalised to most of the extent. The physical verification of documents is done once before the semester exams. In order to get into my college or say , to get into Delhi University , the entrance examination is the CUET . The cutoff varies every year and highly depends on scores on the students.

The faculty members in my college are very approachable and amiable. Professors are highly qualified with many holding PhDs in their respective niches. The faculty members of commerce department , specifically , consists of amiable and helpful individuals. As far as examination is concerned, semester examinations are held twice a year , once in December - January and the other before summer break around May. The course curriculum is highly relevant and NEP made it even better for students. The optional papers (vac, sec, aec, ge) help us learn and explore things from broader perspective . I myself opted for English as my GE to pursue my interest in literature alongside a completely different course , that is , bcom hons.

I'm a day scholar and hence can't really comment about nightlife myself. However , there are various markets near the college campus. One of them is called the kamala nagar market. One can get wide variety of clothes , footwear , gyms, gaming cafes, stationaries, tech products , fast food chains and cafes in the market. The PGs are located around the same area. Hence the market is easily accessible to the students who live near the campus. The metro is available at 25 minutes of walking distance , hence nearby hangout places can be explored . The locality is very much safe to roam around for students , as said by my friends.
