- Curriculum is very outdated and additional papers are not relevant to our fields of study.
- Administrative work takes a lot of time and effort.
Course Curriculum Overview
The course model is extremely outdated. Additional Courses (VAC, SEC, and AEC) that are a compulsion for all students fail to align with our career choices. They extend college hours unnecesarily and prove to be an additional burden during exams when students would like to focus on their core subjects.
Placement Experience
Students in the 3rd year onwards are eligible for placements. Organizations like Bain and Accenture Strategy have frequent intakes from the college with several students getting offers every year. The Placement and Internship cell play an important part in these placement drives.
Fees and Financial Aid
My yearly college fee as a General Category B.A. Programme Student is Rs. 28,380. This amount includes the following sub-categories: Tuition Fee: 180/- Admission Fee: 5/- University Development Fee: 1200/- University Cultural Fee: 5/- University Student Union: 40/- University Enrollment Fee: 200/- W.U.S: 5/- University Athletics Fee: 50/- University Student Welfare Fund: 250/- University Facilities and Services Charge: 1250/- EWS Support University Fund: 200/- College Student Welfare Fund: 6370/- College Development Fund: 2500/- College Facilities and Services Charges: 16,180 For other courses in my batch, the fee varies from Rs. 25,000 to 29,600. The college provides academic prizes along with merit-cum-needs based scholarships to deserving candidates.
Campus Life
Confluence is our annual cultural fest, even though the last couple of years have not seen the best that the college can offer. Every society organizes their own fest. For example, Swaranjali - The Music Society organizes "Rachnotsav" while Statecraft - The MUN Society of Hansraj College organizes it's flagship "Hansraj MUN". The library material is up-to-date with new books being issued frequently.
Admission
The brand value of the college played an important role in choosing it over others. Among the colleges I have applied to in India, this was perhaps the hardest to get into due to the CUET examinations. Despite scoring well (95.5%) in my ISC Class 12 examinations, I had to finish the CBSE syllabus in a month to sit for CUET. The exposure that the college gives is also fantastic.
Faculty
We have a very efficient faculty-to-student ratio, especially for my course. Most professors are very approachable, even tending to queries after college hours regarding other aspects of professional life. To name one, professor Anand Mittal from the Economics department is one of the most experienced and caring teachers I have interacted with. His experience from being a part of the civil services align with his teaching and life lessons that he regularly imparts to his students. There are two end semester exams in each academic year, with continuous assesment as a part of the final cumulative grade. Exams are generally easy.
Night Life
There is a wide array of cafes, food joints, and shopping stores right outside Hansraj on Bungalow Road towards Kamla Nagar. Kamla Nagar offers budget places to hang out with friends, whereas one might often find themselves in Hudson Lane enjoying a cup of coffee on the weekends.
