THE EXPERIENCE as of now

I chose Economics hons as my course because I really had interest in this since 11th grade and wanted to explore more in this field. The curriculum provided by du is not so good but fine. It really don't prepare one for the real world applications. Even after implementing NEP, the education remains just class room based. We are not supposed to be prepared for real world by preparing a 50-60 page assignment instead there should be field visits, practical exposure and internships. The college has it's placement cell which updates on various job and internships opportunities but why is there no source of developing one’s skills to apply for these. Mostly students have to surf over the internet themselves to prepare them to step into the world beyond classroom.

The placement cell keeps updating about the internship opportunities available. I don't think so that college directly provides any intership opportunity. But as of now I don't have much detailed information on this.

Being in my first year I really don't have an idea about these but the average package was around 7 lakh per annum. There's a placement cell in our college which provides information on job and internships opportunities. Furthermore this cell also organises an annual Internship and Career Fair.

My annual fee is ?32100 for BA (hons) Economics which I believe remains same for all three years of course duration. The fee remains same across General, OBC, SC, ST, EWS, KM and CW categories But PwBD students pay significantly low fee of ?2850 per year. As of financial aid, college provide fee concession to the eligible students and there are many other scholarships offered like collegedunia merit scholarship and state level higher education scholarships.

There are various extra curricular and academic based socities, cells and clubs in our college. I am part of 2 of these. One is ÈCLAT, the Economics Association where I am a finace executive and other is Orator’s Club there too I am working as a finace executive. The library is small with low seating capacity. There are rarely any smartboard in any class mostly it's a white board so no as such facilities and technical provisions within the classroom. The spoets complex is not so well maintained. I have rarely seen anyone playing games in the college campus besides students who are part of ncc or nss.

I gave CUET after my boards for applying to delhi university. I approximately filled 70 preferences of colleges with course. Daulat Ram College was my 17th preference. I didn't get into colleges in top of my preference list because I didn't clear their required cutoff. In my first round of allocation I got Atma Ram Sanatan Dharm college and after applying for upgrade I grabbed Daulat Ram. The seat matrix college wise, course wise and category wise is availabe online.

The faculty of Economics department is quite good. Most of the professors are easily approachable while a few are mostly found on leave. Teaching method is fine not so engaging and helpful. The examinations are based on structure provided by the delhi university but internally mid sem exams were taken this time. The IA and CA for internal marks are either conducted online or offline. The difficulty level of exams is moderate.

The college is located in North campus which is the most vibrant area of University of Delhi so the surroundings are always lively. There are several accommodation facilities available besides college hostel in nearby areas. The popular hanging out spots among students are hudson lane, kamla nagar market and majnu ka tila. The locality is kinda safe to roam around at night in groups and not alone.
