Finding colleges for undergraduates

As I was a student of Life Sciences, which includes chemistry, zoology and botany as the core subjects, it was very productive and informative studying these subjects as you are being exposed to 3 different fields in the same amount of time as an honours student would face. Some might think that studying 3 different subjects may divert your mind and you'll not be able to focus on one thing but let me tell you one thing that this is the age when you're most productive, versatile, so choose asany fields as you can, work in as many things as you can. And most importantly there is so much scope after life sciences, you can enter into any field be it microbiology, biotechnology, bioinformatics, biostatistics, forensic science, applied chemistry, taxonomy, molecular biology, genetic engineering. And about the relevance of the curriculum, the curriculum that Delhi University provides for life sciences is in accordance with the real world applications and further academic pursuiits.

There are various internship opportunities available in the college. Though I've not attended any of these, student can check the list of companies visited amd maximum package offered in the website of college itself. The type of intership vary among college itself.

The University offers good placements depending on the student's activity and productivity. The student has to be highly active and should learn atleast 2-3 skills in addition to the course which he/she is studying in order to get placement. Employment plans after this course: appear for GATE, IITJAM, TIFR, ICER, CUET PG, AIIMS etc for higher studies in microbiology, biotechnology, bioinformatics, biostatistics, forensic science, applied chemistry, drugs and narcotics, zoology, botany, taxonomy, molecular biology etc. You will also be eligible for government exams like SSC CGL, SSC CPO, RRB, RRB (Bank), -CSE, CDS, AFCAT etc.

As a Delhi University student, I can say that I've completed my graduation in a very affordable cost. The annual fee for b.sc. life sciences was 23,000 for 1st year, 22,000 for 2nd year and 19,000 fir 3rd year (Please note that the annual fees may vary as the syllabus changes and is not same for all courses) In addition to that, examination fees every semester was to be submitted while filling the examination form which was ?1210 for my course (examination fees is different for different courses depending on the number of practical subjects studied in the semester). This is the basic amount that every student has to pay to the college. In addition to that there are other relaxations and scholarship for which I've not applied.

There are many groups and societies of which student can be a part of like NSS, Enactus, Fashion society, dance society, music society, cultural society and other societies related to different courses. Student can be a part of them and participate in various events conducted by them. The annual fest of every college in the Delhi University is held in the month of Feb-March. The annual sports day is held in the month of March-April. In addition to these events, student can be a part of organizations created by the students themselves and help achieve their objectives.

Previously, there was selection on the basis of merit. But now entrance exam is held, CUET UG/PG on the basis of which selection is being done. Scoring required marks and then applying in the councelling process is the ultimate process of admission in this University. Elegibility: 12th passed with biology as the main subject and scoring >65% is mandatory.

The qualifications of faculty members do vary. There are some professors whom I may call "passionate teachers", who are willing to help their students and ready to solve their doubts, be it academic or anything outside that. They are highly qualified (GATE, IITJAM etc.) and help in doubts related to semesters as well as other entrance exams. But exceptions are always there. There are teachers who, no doubt, are highly qualified but there is something lacking in their teaching way. The perspective of rating any teacher differ from person to person. You may also come across some teachers who rarely take classes and are usually off their work. Overall, the faculty members of Delhi University are highly qualified, experienced and helps students in academic as well as non academic matters.
