INSIDES OF SWAMI SHRADDHANAND COLLEGE

I have had applied for UPES for the course of B.com Honours but when I got admission to the University of Delhi for the same course I opted out of the college because we know the University of Delhi holds more value and we all know it is famous for its alumni. To get into the college I availed the quota of Economic Weaker Section in the General category as the University grants a special cut-off for economic weaker sections which is slight below the cut-off for general background students who don't opt for the quota. The minimum criteria for my program is the merit based system. To get into the college one should have minimum of 87% in his/her 12th board for general category for the quota of EWS and for the non-quota general category it is a minimum of 90%. The age of the candidate must be over 16 years. The admission process was quite good as the students have to go to the college and get their documents verified and till evening they have to pay the fees for the first year and they are done.

I choose this course because I have to do my masters in future and this course is best suited for me because I am from a commerce background and I am interested in finance sector. The faculty-student ratio in the college is around 3:7 and speaking of which the faculty in the college is highly reputed and holds a strong background and the teaching methods are very good as they are updated to new changes in advance and they provide everything that is according to the new rules and syllabus issued. The term exams were conducted on time as per the dates issued by the University and that's a strong point of the college and talking about the difficulty of exams they are not hard but above than average because exam pattern is made keeping in mind of every student so they are not that hard but also not as easy to be passed without studying.

The students in final semester become eligible for campus placements. Placements aren't that good but still you can assure your job in banks like HDFC, ICICI, Axis Bank etc. The average package one get after his/her undergraduation is around 25000/- rupees. The percentage of students getting placements is around 94%. My plan after the degree is to do my masters from United Kingdom.

The fee structure of the college is 12000/- rupees for a year and the course duration is 3 years so the total cost is around 3600-/- for three years. There are no as such scholarships in the college because it comes under a government university where fee is already so low. On campus job is sometimes good but the average stipend is around 20000-25000/- after completion of the course.

My college is known for its fest and other extra-curricular activities. They are conducted in every 2 months like Diwali Mela, Celebrity Fests, Holi Mela, Annual Fest. You can get almost every course/ semester books in the library and you can even issue them for a complete semester. Classrooms aren't that good or you can say they are like other government schools classrooms. They are'nt good honestly. The college is very famous for cricket and I will definitely recommend if someone is interested in cricket as my college has an alumini who got their career in IPL. For example: Lalit Kumar from Delhi Capitals was a student in our college and there are soo many others. There are so many societies in the college for example-Aaina, Enactus, The social club, and many more.
