A great journey through the Best Course of DU

I just did not have any bad experience during the duration of my course. The overall experience was great. Just one thing, at that time I did not see any Permanent Principal, just the Officiating ones, if the Principal appointed is now Permanently given the charge, I am left with no suggestion to write about.

The Course Curriculum, as the Admission Procedure, is the same for all the colleges, which basically comprised of Research Papers and Chapters written by some very renowned Economists. There rarely was a single book prescribed for the whole course, what we had is a collection of such Research papers and Chapters, the photocopies of which are famously termed as readings. Exam Structure was 1/5th of the marks being allocated to Internal Papers (as then it was not Semester-based, Annual scheme was followed), and the rest of the marks were vested with the External exams. The course structure let me beware of the in-depth technicalities of Economics.

Central Placement Cell of the University of Delhi was the primary agency looking into the placements, through various opportunities for internships that were provided the College Placement Cell as well.

Annual Fests were held every year around the month of February, whereas an Annual Economics fest named "Ecoverve" was organized by Economics society, around the end of February or mid of March. Various seminars and workshops were also organized by the College and the Economics Society.

The fee structure for the first year was just Rs. 4360 to be precise, all-inclusive. The fees rather than incrementing went on to decrease for the Second year to be somewhere around 3600 and it was around 4000 only for the third year as well. Thus a very pocket-friendly Government College.

There was not that much of a need for any kind of Education Loan going by the fee structure previously mentioned. Also, I did not avail or was not eligible for any kind of scholarship.

The gender ratio was very favorable, you could see an almost equal number of male students as were from the opposite gender. Campus life was quite happening with a very reasonable and rich in variety Canteen. Sports Day with a Cricket tournament was regularly organized, Library had quite a resourceful lot of books. Laboratories were a luxury for an Economics student.

Senior students initially were not helpful, though Ragging is a strict NO on the campus, they had their kind of formal introduction. Eventually, they got friendly and cooperative.

As this College is affiliated to the University of Delhi, which follows a Common Admission Procedure wherein, back then, a form was supposed to be filled and firstly a Course of choice was to be selected under which all the Colleges providing the same were listed, all of them being available for selection and based on Cut offs declared you could approach the particular College as and when the cutoffs were declared. Since on the first cut-off declaration I did not have my documents ready, I found Moti Lal Nehru College as the best when the second list was released.

The faculty of the Economics Department was a Highly Experienced, helpful, and an outgoing lot of professors and lecturers. Most of them had no issues in teaching any of the subjects being taught in the course, even the most boring of them were made interesting by their way of teaching which helped me excel in the college as well as with the all-around understanding of Economics.
