An Outlook on PGDAV College

PGDAV College of Delhi University- well known for its Commerce dept., professors are well qualified & dexterous. One of the best colleges of South Campus. Newly built infrastructure. Biggest Canteen & one of the best auditoriums. Pink line metro station- Vinobapuri right next to the college. Lajpat Nagar just 5 mins away Lacks the vibe of North Campus. College annual fest not so popular among the students. Admission on the basis of the best of four subjects in 12th class. Cut off lists start coming from June-July. I read reviews on Quora about this college.

I had commerce in 12th and wanted to continue in that field therefore, I went for BCom Hons. You should have Maths in high school to do BCom Hons course from DU. This college is known for its Commerce Dept as the Faculty is experienced and highly qualified. All Professors are very helpful and ready to clear doubts of the students. They teach very well too and most of them are punctual to the classes. There is one teacher for every class of 35 students. Unlike other colleges, the subjects here are not imposed on students as there are sufficient professors for all subjects so students are free to choose their elective subjects. The term exams take place in May and December of every year and exams are not that difficult if the student is well prepared.

The placement cell keeps posting various internship openings on their groups so students can follow them and apply to various companies. Companies also provide a decent stipend to the students.

The placements of the college are decent and are conducted by the Placement Cell of the college. Students can apply for these placements in the final year only and get an offer letter to join just after the college gets over. Some of the big 4's visit the college like EY, WIPRO etc for mass recruitment. Other Companies such as Ginger Webs, ICICI Prudential, Willis Towers Watson etc also come to the college. The average package that students get is around 3 LPA. Various profiles are offered such as Audit Associate, Tax Associate, Management Trainee etc. You can go for Masters or do internships in companies to gain experience.

Delhi University is very affordable. The fees vary from course to course and reservation quota. I dont think there is an option of scholarships here since it is already very affordable. My fees were 14000 in the first year and it came down to 12000 in the final year. There is no semester wise fees. Many Placement Companies come in the final year for recruitment and a lot of those pay well to the graduates.

PGDAV College has improved its infrastructure over the years and half of it is newly built. The Annual college fest is called Aaghaaz which is not so popular but has been improving every year. It is conducted in the month of February. The library is decent & it has books of every subject and journals which is the best part. The new editions of the books are also available. Students who cannot afford to buy books can easily get them issued. In the old building, the classrooms are a little uncomfortable but in the new building, the classrooms look nice with good furniture. A lot of sports are played in the college & teams go for competitions. There's a sports quota too. Students are working really hard to bring the societies to the level of other DU colleges by winning accolades in various competitions. Many depts have formed societies over time. There are many college and society groups running on Instagram by the students.
