Remarks

Used to be a great college, but no more. Corrupted by politics. The principal is careless; he is even not permanent by position. Not good administrative staff. They take quarrels with you. No special efforts towards extraordinary performing students ( maybe in any field ).

Entrance Preview

It has a legacy of being one of the oldest colleges of University of Delhi. Many of my teachers graduated from here & reminded me continuously of the golden time the college had. The science department is still very much reputed & attracts awesome crowd both qualitatively & quantitatively. It has reputed faculty & enough infrastructure to house almost all science courses which DU offers.

Course Curriculum Overview

4

B.Sc life science curriculum is not useful at all. Students have to study Zoology. Botany, Chemistry all 3 as core subjects, ultimately resulting in no expertise in any particular subject. No industry exposure is provided. Nobody can grab a job based on theory. The only option remains for students is to go for MSc then clear NET & further study to Ph.D.

Internships Opportunities

35% to 45% of students got internships. Only a few through college internship fairs. Maximum offers are gained through online portals like Internshala and Interntheory. General stipend 10K a month. Experience - Average. I did a science summer internship zoology department under HOD Sir.

Fee Structure And Facilities

Fee Structure of my Course Fees 8000 Rs. Per Annum ( Including various charges like Library fees, cultural fund, medical fees, infrastructure fund, educational trip fund, security deposit etc ) Exam Fees 1500 Rs. Per Semester That's it. Completely feasible.

Fees and Financial Aid

A loan is usually not required to pursue any course from Deshbandhu college. Yes, lots of Scholarships exist on merit basis given to students from all categories.

Campus Life

4.5

Campus life is awesome. It depends on what type of student you are. If hyperactive societies/clubs are the best places for you. The college has all type of cultural societies with NSS, NCC, Enactus, Placement cell also added. Independent run Student media platform Deshbandhu Express also exists. Cultural Societies include Film Making Oculus Dance - D Squad Music - Timbre Dramatics - DDS & Stageplayers Indian Dance Riwayat Art & Craft - Art Meisters Fashion- Audaz etc Various monthly & annual competitions are organized. Diversity from all over India Exists. The gender ratio is almost 50-50.

Hostel Facilities

3

No Hostel facilities. Hostel which is promised from so many years to so many generations is not materialized yet. Students continuously encounter rumors of hostel money being stolen away by corruption. Student Union fights election again and again on the same issue but doesn't take action after coming to power.

Alumni/Alumna

Yes, Seniors are helpful if you yourself are good at communicating with them. If you will not show interest in taking guidance then why they'll help you.

Admission

I got admission by Extra Curricular Activity Quota which is a mixture of merit & my credentials in school activities. I had International level Filmmaking competition participation which led me to a concession of 15% marks on cutoffs. Typically admissions take place on cutoff/merit basis in which different forms of %tages ( like PCM or PCB or Best of 4 ) are considered for admissions.

Faculty

3.5

The faculty is mixed. Some are too good, some are too bad. All are qualified with proper MSc, Ph.D., & NET credentials. Normal blackboard and chalk, PPTs are used for teaching. Exceptional teachers form good bonding with students which makes learning more fun, while some cringe over small matters like marks & indulgence in co-curricular activities. No industry exposure is provided through the curriculum.

Course Curriculum Overview:

The curriculum consists of relatable topics and interesting ones as well this is what quite influenced me to take this course. We have labs which help us learn how to prepare various organic compounds which are used in many day to day products . The course also has a 4th year research program. There should be more equipments in lab for the research. The frequency is good for exams being conducted and there level is also quite good

Placement Experience:

The students become eligible for the placements provided by the college in their 3rd year, while they can pursue internship offered by the college in previous years. Average sized companies visited the campus with lots of students being placed for jobs. The highest package I am not aware of but lowest was of around 300000 pa. I plan to pursue masters after my graduation degree.

Students become eligible for campus placements from the 6th semester. I don't know a lot about campus placements but I know that there is a training and placement cell in our college that provides good packages to many students. Some students got more than 7lpa last year. I will be doing my Post graduation after college and will make a career in academics.
