Saharsh Poddar's Review On Deshbandhu College, New Delhi

None, I did not participated in any of the extra entrance exams, I just gave the class 12th board exams and waited for my results and cutoff list. Its a Delhi University college, so stay tuned to du.ac.in for cutoffs after your 12th board exams. Economics as a subject was my favourite, so when I made the cutoff I did not think twice about my decision to Join Economics Honours.

The core curriculum of the course is pretty neat and focused on research, that said it for the student to take benefits from the electives they will choose after they are enrolled in the course. CBCS have some issues, but nothing major. The student must take full advantage of electives systems introduced.

None, The placement cell is good but barely any internship opportunity is given out to students. The NOC system in our college is very rigid as well, you really need to please the HOD to get a NOC.

The placements and Job opportunities is very good. The placement cell offers 200% placement guarantee, ie for every student sitting in placement gets at least 2 offers different companies. Banks like ICICI and RBS are often seen during placement time, the placement cell have done a good job in this respect.

Not Many festivals are held at the college, One major yearly fest is held at the college and nothing special. Stars like Badhshah come and perform. Since the societies are fresh and have rarely kicked started yet, not many fests are seen over the year. NSS is pretty active in doing movements for the betterment of the society.

The fee structure is very easy to pay and cheap. The annual fees of my course, ie Economics Honours is round about 6200 only. Apart from this, many book grants are offered to students in need. Also, an extra of 1000 bucks is charged as an examination fess, apart from this no major cost is incurred by the student.

The societies is the main core of our college, this is what keeps the student alive and away from boring infra of the college. Debating, Enactus, Ecell ,Management societies are all very active and recruit students from 1st year actively. People from all over India and abroad are present at Deshbandhu to make it a very diverse place to study in.

The faculty in my college is very lethargic and barely care about the overall development of the child. They just come in and teach whatever they prepared to teach, nothing special. If you are a mediocre student then barely any attention will be paid towards you.
