Maitreyi College is Underrated, A VERY NICE EXPERIENCE

Coming to english hons I had a little different expectations and this turned out to be a little different, This course is too much till where I have studied is inclined towards literature which sometimes students do not like. There are many subjects inside the core, but subjects like literary studies caught lot of attention due to it's attractiveness and different perspectives. Sometimes things go a lot off syllabus which disrupts mindful learning but thankgod it's just 30-40% of it.

The college's placement cell is very active and many internships are offered to students of all years, paid and unpaid and in different fields for different courses too. The average internship stipend which I noticed is around RS15,000 per month for students and from different certified companies for eg , a recent one was offered by Park+ As Eng hons students we get lots of projects for content writing to enhance our experience. The overall working of the internship opportunities is amazing

The fee for my course is 12,000 INR. Freeship is also available for students whose parents' salary is below 8 lakhs per annum to help them financially. The fees for foreign students in my class is 21,800 INR. The fees for students with disabilities is just 155 INR.

The annual and technical festivals are the best part of this college, the annual fest is held around February-March, and another festival is held around Diwali when other students come to our college to participate in different competitions. The library is so big and full of books from every department, and there is an e-library too for students where there are so many laptops and computers with internet facilities which any student can use for free, and accessible to all. The classrooms are bit worn out in the old building but a new is also constructed and has very beautiful classrooms with very large space. Sports is also offered to students who want to participate and the College has NCC too for students.

I got this college in my second round, in my first round I got german hons. in the north campus department of Delhi university, but my parents wanted me to do a secure enough course so my second preference was english hons., and I got admitted to Maitreyi College, from the starting it has been a good experience. I chose this college over others since, many colleges are too hectic with classes and I someone who likes extracurriculars and this college provides the perfect balance between them when I talked to my other friends, who are from North-campus or off-campus colleges. CUET is accepted only for getting admitted to the college, and for my year the cutoff was 681/800 in the second round.

The faculty is the best part here, they are way too approachable and knowledgeable in themselves too, the English department is also really nice with teaching and the speed of syllabus is on pace and not to slow or fast. They teach us answer writing skills and words from basics too since we are new students. They also take frequent IA and CA tests which mark our level. The course curriculum being in the first year is a bit difficult to comprehend but with those teachers we are able to do it.

The locality is a little unsafe to go out at night since near girls colleges more crimes are prone to happen, plus being in Delhi itself no place is 'so safe' for females, the library closes at 8:00PM so it is very accessible for everyone to use that. Students can go to Chanakya mall or Satya Niketan if they want to go very close for hangout.
