Veena's Review On Dr. Bhim Rao Ambedkar College - [BRAC], New Delhi

College management is good although there is always space for improvements.I have mostly had good experiences in the college till date, although there are some bad highlights as well.Sometimes there are fights in the college between some groups or even tw

No Entrance was their for admission to B.A.(H) Applied Psychology in Bhim Rao Ambedkar College. In Delhi University, admissions to this course are just on the basis of percentage scored in class 12th BOARD Examination.I opted for this course because I am very much interested in studying Psychology and further make my career in the same.

The curriculum of this course is very interesting and knowledgeable. It comprises of different aspects and different fields in Psychology itself which include- General Psychology, Health Psychology, Life Span Development, Applied Psychology, Social Psychology, Applied Social Psychology, Psychometry, Abnormal Psychology, Counseling Psychology, Organizational Behavior, Community Psychology, Psychotherapy, Media Psychology, Bio-psychology, Cultural and Indigenous Psychology, and Understanding Human Resource and Practices.

The internship opportunities are provided with the help of the teachers in the department and also by the college.Students have done internships in big organizations like NTPC- India, Indian Oil, NGO's Like NIDAAN and NAASVI, Hospitals like Moolchand Hospital (Delhi), Career Development centers like Jitin Chawla's Center for Career Development, and many more.I did an internship at Jitin Chawla's Center for Career Development and had a wonderful experience. It is an organization which guides and counsels students and/or people of any age group towards a better future by telling the the careers best suited for their personality, interests and aptitude. Counseling is done on the basis of the results of 3 tests administered- CIS (Interest Test), DBDA (Aptitude Test), MAPS (Personality Test).

The placements and job opportunities provided are not really good. I Personally have less knowledge about this aspect.

Their are many festivals held in the college every year, like Annual Day, Sports Day, College Fest, Departmental Fests, College Freshers', Departmental Freshers', Good Governance Day, Etc.These are a huge celebration for the College students, although, they are not as big as the other colleges of Delhi University In North and South Campus. These may not be as big an event as those in other colleges but they are definitely a source of play and fun for the students of the college itself.

There are a lot of scholarships for students belonging to the reserved categories- SC, ST, OBC.Since I don't belong to one, I don't have much knowledge about the same. Information regarding the scholarships is available at the Reception of the college.

The girl to boy ratio in the college does not very much. But there are still more boys in the college than girls. Sports faculty of the college is awesome with equal participation of girls as well.There is a Cultural Department also in the college which manages the Dance events, Singing events, etc.A separate society for dramatics has also been made up now.Also, students can participate in NCC, NSS, etc. if they wish to.There are Self Defense classes and workshops held for girls.For psychology, there are a lo of workshops held, in which well known people from India come and teach us things and give us more knowledge about the subject.In the college, workshops are held for social causes like saving the girl child, Safaai Aandolan, etc. are done.Workshops are also organized for making students aware of the different and latest ideas of India, like the Digital India campaign, and Makin India.

There are no Hostels in the college.Students live in PG's (costing around 5-10 thousand per month) or some students even rent a home together and share the rent. (Around 10-15 thousand per month).

My experience with my seniors has been one of the best experiences of my college life.Our seniors have always supported us. They have always helped us in any way possible whenever we asked them for help. Be it for giving their notes or books or explaining to us any concepts that we did not understand, our seniors were always ready to help!I have learnt how to organize events, how to make good notes, how to study and understand things well, how to enhance my own personality and lead a better life, and a lot more from them.

There are around 7-8 teachers in the faculty, all of them having immense knowledge of the subject. The faculty of Psychology in this college is very good. The teachers are highly qualified and show keen interest in teaching students.
