Admission
I applied for the course on Delhi University website after declaration of my intermediate results. After the completion of application processes, University starts declaring the cut off list containing cut offs for various courses in various colleges. Note the colleges for which you are eligible to apply for admissions. After the declaration of cut off list, you have 3-4 days for document verification and admission. The candidate will have to reach the college personally for documents verification. After the completion, he/she is required to fill the admission forms and submit the fees in the office. Volunteers were present in our college to guide us and help fill the forms. Then 2nd list is declared by the university depending upon the remaining seats in colleges. Similar process goes on and the university declares 5 lists in general. NOTE :- 1. If a candidate is eligible for a course in a particular college, he/she must complete the admission process within the time given. If he/she goes to the college after the next cut off list declaration, the candidate will not be allowed to take admission despite having a higher percentage. 2. It is advisable to take admission (you are just booking a seat) as soon as the lists are out and the candidate is eligible for the course he wish to take admission in. You can easily withdraw your admission from the college and migrate to a higher ranked college once the other lists come out.
Faculty
Faculties of our college were devoted towards us. They not only taught us the course content but also held discussions on current issues and burning economic topics to enhance our thinking capacity and reasoning. On many occasions they used to conduct debate or extempore in order to build us in every way possible.
