Rolller Coaster Ride

In a nutshell, I liked my college a lot but didn't like a few things like a section of the crowd, few of my teachers. Canteen was great in the 2nd year but sucked in the 1st and final year. Washrooms could have been much better and cleaner as per my view.

I didn't take any entrance examination, I was admitted to the college via the cut-off list. I opted for this college as it was nearby my home and it was my preferred course.

The course curriculum according to me was a bit haywire as there was no semester system during my time in college. The curriculum lacked planned structure and management. It made the learning process difficult and increased the workload of the students.

During my stay at the college, I never heard of any internship program. Even if it was there, I wasn't aware of it.

The placement cell was good overall, good companies like HCL, Bajaj used to come for the hiring. Private banks also used to come, but not many students from my batch got placed anywhere. However, Students from other courses did get hired at good packages.

There were Literature Festivals, Dance Festivals, Food Festivals which I mostly remember, although the most famous was the theater society which won many awards at different levels and made the college proud. They all happened in an enthusiastic manner and the participation was also great.

Fee structure overall in DU itself is very reasonable. My fee was for the total course was hardly 15000 INR, so looking at it overall, it was really feasible.Almost everyone from any section could afford to study from my college without worrying about the fee.

Not sure about this either as I don't know about any loan facilities and never asked for it from any college staff. There was a bank in the college premises itself but not really sure about this facility.

It was fun while it lasted, I still miss the good old days. The gender ratio was very healthy and diversified as well. We had a huge ground and a huge library, probably the biggest in the University which was a proud thing to boast of! Sports and debates were really rich as compared to other colleges.

My college didn't have a hostel so can't really write about the facilities and the mess food. Students from other cities used to stay as residential Paying Guests nearby and shared as per their convenience and comfort. Not much to write or ponder about here.

I didn't talk much with my seniors and wasn't in contact with them constantly but there were a few with whom I talked frequently and they were helpful and supportive. Not in contact with them as of now but during my tenure, they were good.

The summer exam structure was quite good but the winter session made life difficult as they were held in early January as we froze badly while writing the exams. Coming to the college early on a January morning was a tedious task for me and writing exams on such days was even worse.

Faculty was top-notch despite the college being an off-campus college. The faculty was great and was always helpful, teachers were highly experienced and lectured with great enthusiasm. They gave great analysis and ideas about the topics they taught and proved to be really handful.
