Moments of learning

Good- Comfortable infrastructure, great societies Bad- much better teaching is possible and the authority in the hand of students must be avoided for better functioning of the college

My college comes under Delhi University and so I got process by the standard process for the admission, i.e. on the basis of percentage I got in 12th standard (Best of 4). I heard about this college from some other friends of mine and this is what I was getting with my percentage so I joined this college. There was no interview process for admission as it is purely based on merit. I chose this course because I had commerce in 12th standard and this is what I could get with my percentage.

Some people like the course and some people dislike the course. Wel, I'm pretty much neutral about the course. The B. Com program involves basic commerce subjects like Finance, Economics, Accountancy, Indian Taxation. Apart from this, there are some additional courses too which a student studies in a span of 3 years. Not that much of focus on practical learning is given in the course, apart from some real life-related questions.

Students do not get any internship opportunities from the college as there is no separate department for that. I haven't got any internship from the college so cannot comment on the experience and stipend. Well, the college does facilitate teaching part-time useful courses like related to stock market, language etc.

The placement scenario in the college is quite good as we have campus recruitment by 3 companies from the *BIG 4* for commerce department (I don't know about other department's placement). I don't know about the percentage of students getting placed. Other companies like Concentric also visit the college. Average package is around 3.5 lakh.

Just like every other Delhi University college, we have events going all throughout the year which includes various societies and departments events. ARSD hosts the 'Longest theatre festival in Delhi University' which witnesses a great footfall. Other events include Youth conclave, College fest etc. Average footfall cannot be commented upon. College authorities are quite supportive for the same.

Delhi University is overall not that expensive and so does ARSD. My college fee is approximately Rs. 10000 per year that makes it Rs. 30000 for my total undergraduate education. It is because of such low fee that students from the low economic background can also pursue their education. Other college-related expenses apart from the fee are also not too much.

The college fee is already very low so I don't think anyone needs a scholarship. I do not know about any scholarship program run by the college, but, if Delhi University runs any scheme, then ARSD does follow it. No, the college doesn't help in getting a loan and so students have ti make the arrangements themselves if they need one.

The environment for extra-curricular activities is just excellent. There are various societies in the college, ranging from Debating society to Theatre society. Students are actively involved in the societies and conduct events throughout the year. I explored a lot of my inner talent in the field of theatre, in the college and I'm happy about it. The facilities are good for extra circulars.

ARSD premises don't have hostels and so students have to live in flats or PGs near the Satya Niketan market. Most of the students are day scholars and others (who aren't from Delhi/NCR) occupy Flats and PGs in the nearby area.

My interaction with my seniors was excellent and they guided me at every step. They are the ones who help students whenever students cannot find out any solution after asking their teachers. Yes. Totally. The alumni network has a lot to contribute in college's overall development.

My college, ARSD follows standard exam pattern of Delhi University and so I have only Mid-semester exam and End semester exams. Apart from that few, assignments in the semester so, all in all, I can say that exams are a chill culture. I really don't feel that much tired from college studies at the end of the day.

I personally don't think that teachers are that experienced, maybe because they are unable to teach what is in their mind. Some teachers, of course, are, qualified but many or not that much qualified. I rarely found teachers interact with the students and so I think the standard of teaching is average.
