SGTB Khalsa College

It was and it is a great college with good management and excellent faculty. The overall crowd is hepp and happening. I would definitely recommend this college to whoever is planning to join a college in Delhi university.

I opted for B.Com as I was always interested in getting into Business and Commerce sure would have helped me. I scored 78% in XII and got admission to the college as per the second cutoff list in 1995. (I wouldn't have gotten a chance to be a part of SGTB college if I had applied in recent times as the cutoff now goes upto 96%)

Curicullum was based on standard Delhi University curricullum, and the faculty was excellent. We had well qualified and experienced faculty who was always ready to help.Curricullum included Commerce, Business Studies, Financial Management, Financial Accounting, Micro Economics and more.

Though many nice organizations came to our college for campus hiring/internship programs, I didn't go for internship with an external organization as I opted for using my skills within my family owned company.As far as I know the stipend paid at that time was around 3000 per month.

Dont remember the exact company names, but we didn't have too many MNCs at that time and hence companies like SBI, Britania, Godrej, Tata would come for campus hiring those days.The starting packages ranged between 150000 - 300000 INR p.a.

We had the best of the annual cultural festivals and the college was active in the events across cultural and technical events across Delhi university.Our Bhangra as well as Western choreography groups always lead the events across the campus (North & South) and won several accolades.

It was a pretty reasonal fee structure in 1995. I think around INR 20K per annum to be paid in advance annually for the academic year.Fees for sports or any other extra curricular activities was charged extra based on selection and events.

In those days, the fees was pretlly reasonable and hence hardly anobody needed loans. Many of the students including myself did some part time jobs to pay our college fees.

There was a healthy gender ratio not just in SGTB Khalsa college, but in entire North campus and that's one of the reasons most youngsters wanted to join a college in North Campus.While I hardly remember any specific events, I do remember some bias towards students from North east who were called as 'Chinki'. We understand today that it wasn't the right spirit. I am sure the bias has reduced now.The annual college election was an event in itself.which can be termed bigger than the DUSU elections in some cases. A lot of financial and muscle power was used in those days to win elections. As far as DUSU elections were concerned, the main parties during that time were ABVP and NSUI, both using the finances and power provided by their supporting political parties.The annual events were a great fun and the entire campus used to wait for the annual cultural festival at SGTB. It used to be a fun filled yet competetive event with celebrities joining in on opening/closing days.

I didn't use the hostel personally, however, a couple of my mates used hostel facilities offered by Delhi campus. While it had all the basic facilities, there was a room for improvement in terms of cleanliness and maintenance of the common facilities.

I personally have not been a part of any alumni group. Manu of my close friends moved abroad, and hence I never was much interested to interact much with the other college mates.

Standard structure as per the DU guidelines.The dates were common across the campus for each stream of examination. and three hours were given for each of the exams.We had semi annual symesters and end results were consolidated on annual basis.

As stated earlier, We had the best of faculties with a excellent experience and high qualification. They were friendly enough to support you out of the regular class hours.
