What do you think about Delhi university?

Shiva Shankar SinghBA from St. Stephens College (Delhi University)

DU is among the top 5 universities of India and is also known to be amongst the world's best universities. It offers a great academic environment where you can pursue your studies and hobbies. DU also offers great placement and internship opportunities. However, you will need to be hardworking to avail these opportunities. In 2021, FMS from DU offered the highest CTC of 58 LPA. 

The faculties at the institute are quite good. They are well-experienced and cooperative. Overall, DU will offer you many opportunities, it is up to you to make the most out of it.

What is life like at DU?

Karuna JaiswalStudied Economics at University of Delhi (Graduated 2017)

Here is what a 2012 DU Hansraj College graduate has to say about life at DU.

As a 17 years old boy who had received high marks in 12th grade, his expectations were as high as they should have been. But, over time, he realized that DU is just like any other university in a sense that it gives you a name but not necessarily a job. So, he went through the typical Indian education system, i.e., focusing on grades rather than fundamentals. 

So, after enrolling in DU's Physics Hons, he skipped classes and concentrated on concepts, but the results were still disappointing. He wasn't getting good grades or gaining a lot of knowledge. But after three years, he realized that success is impossible without in-depth knowledge. He got admitted to IIT Bombay after putting in a lot of effort, and that completely changed his life. 

The DU experience is the most joyful, as he claims. He says he is a foodie who enjoys eating, studying, and traveling. Thus, below mentioned are a few places recommended by him:

  1. Amba Cinema- It is well-known for its whistling. He has visited the theater quite frequently and seen movies like Gabbar is Back, Baby, and many more.

  2. Chole Bhature of Rawalpindi

  3. The Kamla Nehru Ridge

  4. Miranda House

Life changes, and we should embrace it. The University of Delhi is not merely a dream university where students are keen to study, but it is an emotion. An intense sentiment is attached to the hearts of the students. Life here feels immensely simple yet happening. We meet different kinds of people in every phase of life that we spend here. It gives so many experiences, both beautiful and harsh, to learn, explore and understand the truth of life. Almost everyone is friendly, polite, helpful, thoughtful and cooperative. The primary draws at DU are the annual college fests. You get to have a wonderful experience and enjoy extraordinary performances by popular celebrities that you would never have seen in your entire life.

Is Delhi University overrated?

Siddhi NeemaStudied Bachelor of Commerce at University of Delhi

DU indeed is a spectacular university and is rightfully famous for its infrastructure, curriculum, and everything in general. But several things are a bit overrated like:

  1. Faculty: Despite many brilliant professors here, the faculty members are not much interested in teaching. Either they don’t have enough knowledge or don’t want to teach. That’s why students at DU have to resort to self-study.
  2. Infrastructure: The infrastructure of most of the colleges at DU is terrible. The buildings are in bad condition. The computer facilities are very lacking and Wi-Fi does not work in many places. Although some colleges are well-equipped.
  3. Hostels: The hostels of the colleges at DU have unreasonable rules that you will have to follow. One of them is the 7:30 pm rule. They are not allowed to install coolers even during days of extreme heat.
  4. Curriculum: The curriculum is completely theory-based and does not include much practical knowledge. Just after a few days of rote learning, you will be able to score fairly well.
  5. Fest: The fest culture is all a bit too overrated. There is too much glamour and a waste of time.
  6. Job opportunities: Students at DU face major challenges when it comes to placements. This is because reputed firms only visit top colleges like St. Stephens' and SRCC making it difficult for an average student. You need to have brilliant scores with a record of extracurricular activities to get placed. Or you have to opt for higher studies.

Despite its flaws, Delhi University is indeed one of a kind. The crowd here is versatile and you get to meet people from everywhere. The variety of extracurricular activities, clubs, and societies of DU will surely make your stay here. The colleges at DU have a lot to give, just be with the right people.

What if I get into a low ranked DU college?

Pragya TripathiBA(Hons)Political science from University of Delhi (Graduated 2021)

Getting admission to DU is a big deal. You should not feel apathetic and discouraged even if you do not get a top-ranked college. Every college of DU has an equal value when you get the degree. The faculties are cooperative and supportive. They are always ready to help the students. 

The only major differences are the infrastructure and the surrounding. Simplicity and Uniformity are observed in everyone studying or teaching at DU. Being one among the 2.5k applicants to be accepted into a DU college is something to be proud of. Be content with what you currently have, explore opportunities, and ask your seniors for assistance if necessary. 

"Getting into a good college" is an exaggerated and superficial concept and sincere courtesy goes to the media. Every DU college follows the same teaching standards.

It is a fact that everything happens for a reason. On Facebook, there was a post titled "Humans of SRCC" in which a few students expressed their thoughts and issues they had encountered at the college. They claim that they do not fit in at SRCC's fast-paced environment and that they feel isolated at times.

So, rather than regretting or overthinking what fate has in store for them, one should always accept it with grace and satisfaction.

Which is India's top university, Delhi University or JNU?

Apoorva Bali
Gaurav SinghUndergrad student is at University

There is a stark difference between both universities in terms of culture as well as fees. JNU or Jawaharlal Nehru University is mostly about expression, literature, culture, research, and building intellectual facilities whereas DU is all about glamor, fashion, fests, high cutoffs, and placements.

In financial terms, JNU is much more affordable than DU. Be it course fees or hostel fees, JNU cuts down on expenses a lot.

JNU is learning for life, whereas DU focuses on learning the bare essentials and getting placed in a reputed firm.

One more significant difference to consider is that JNU is more about post-graduation whereas DU focuses more on graduation. The difference in intellectual level stems from the same reason.

If you are still confused between the two, spend equal time on both campuses and you will get the answer soon.

JNU or DU which is a better university?

Pratik BaheraMaster's program from Jawaharlal Nehru University (2021)

JNU is a better option, especially for postgraduate degrees. JNU has a different aura altogether. The environment on campus is extremely accepting. You will meet people on campus who are intellectuals, readers, writers, and speakers. Simply being on JNU campus can be rewarding. It has a different culture entirely which motivates the holistic development of personality. JNU has an excellent faculty base. 

In financial terms as well JNU is a better option. The course fees and hostel fees are lower compared to DU. As per JNU University course fees, an MSc degree costs around INR 692.

Which is better BHU or DU?

Anumita SinhaEconomics from Banaras Hindu University (2018)

To say, one of these is better than the other will be an oversimplification. You should choose BHU or DU based on the course you are interested in. Here is a streamwise comparison of DU and BHU. 

Arts - For English and Economics, DU is better. BHU courses are better for Sanskrit, Hindi, Geography, and Philosophy. For the rest of these subjects, these institutes are at a similar level. 

Science - BHU is slightly ahead for most of the science stream. 

Commerce - For commerce courses, DU is definitely better. 

Engineering - It won’t be fair to compare IIT BHU with DU. The former is way ahead of the latter. 

Management - FMS is a tier 1 B-School and arguably the best non-IIM school in the country. IMS BHU ranks nowhere near FMS. 

Law - For law degrees, DU has a slight advantage because of its location. 

Medical - IMS BHU is one of the best medical institutes in the country. 

Academics are more or less the same at BHU and DU. However, big names like St. Stephens, SRCC, LSR, etc. are a little ahead of BHU in terms of teaching quality. BHU offers better research facilities, especially for science courses. DU is way ahead of BHU in terms of corporate jobs and civil services. 

BHU offers a better campus experience compared to DU. But if we talk about location, choosing a metropolitan city, Delhi will be more advantageous. You will have greater exposure and opportunities

The video comprises a comparative analysis of both universities

If you are getting into one of the top colleges at DU. You should go for it. If you are getting an average college, it’s still better to prefer DU for Commerce, Economics and English. BHU science faculty is good. If you are interested in a Science degree, you can choose BHU.
