Delhi University: Students' Opinion

AI-Generated Summary based on 11 Reviews

At North Campus, the student-to-professor ratio is about 1:150, with the junior batch divided into sections to improve interaction. Exams occur twice a year, and the English Department is praised for its lecture quality, focusing on comprehension and writing skills while strictly enforcing anti-plagiarism policies. Although placements for MA English students are not actively facilitated by the placement department, other departments have better placement outcomes. MA English students often pursue further academic careers or teaching roles.

Internships and freelance opportunities, like with Testbook offering Rs 12,000 per month, are pursued independently. Delhi University offers scholarships for students from less privileged backgrounds, though experiences vary. The annual tuition fee for the MA English Literature program generally ranges from INR 10,000 to INR 20,000, with some reports of fees up to INR 28,000, varying by college. The course lasts two years, with an examination fee of around INR 710 per semester.

Fee structures differ between North and South Campus colleges, with concessions for PwD students and stable fees despite recent hikes. Overall, studying at DU is cost-effective, especially with available university resources.

Delhi University: 1 Answered Question

How do I prepare for the MA in English program at Delhi University entrance exam?

Rituparna Nath
RituMA in English Literature , University of Delhi (Graduated 2016)

It’s not too late to prepare for the entrance exam MA in English program at Delhi University even in the 3 years of your bachelor's. Just be regular at it and keep some important points in mind.

 

Be well versed in your BA course- Read your text thoroughly and in various aspects. Read diverse critical essays on each text to attain a multiplicity of perspectives. In case you are graduating from a different subject, refer to the BA(Hons.) DU syllabus.

 

Read History of English literature- Knowing the roots is a basic step. To get an idea of the basic chronology and ages refer to these books:

  1. A short history of English literature by Sir Ifor Evans.

  2. A brief history of English literature by Peck & Coyle.

 

Indian Literature in English- To get enough knowledge of the same refers to these books:

  1. A concise history of Indian literature in English by Arvind Mehrotra.

  2. Indian writing in English (4th edition) by K.R. Srinivasa.

 

Gain enough knowledge of literary theory & criticism- For this read:

  1. Beginning theory by Peter Barry

  2. Literary theory by Terry Eagleton

 

Update yourself with award-winning authors- This is not difficult if you read beyond your syllabus. Some of the awards to keep track of are:

  • The Nobel prize

  • The booker prize

  • Sahitya Akademi Award

  • Gyaanpith (for Indian regional literature translated into English)

  • Pulitzer Prize

Apart from these strategies, I suggest becoming an avid reader and reading beyond your syllabus, and also practicing writing book reviews. All this will help you make a way for the DU English Literature program.

Fees and Financial Aid:

We had to pay 28000 per year for our Masters English which is a two year degree making it around 56000 and also we have to pay examination fee every semester which is 710 rupees although largely depends on college to college. I am enrolled in Sri Guru Tegh Bahadur Khalsa which is a North Campus College. usually during second year the fee amount is reduced as I got to know from my seniors that it would probably be 21000 but this year UoD has made a hike I guess in fee structure. Also Department Students pay comparatively less as they 17k every year. Largely depends on colleges and also the fee structure varies according to North Campus and South Campus colleges too.

Fees and Financial Aid:

The fee structure was around 12000 per year, which made it nearly 24000 for the entire course. It changes year wise but minimalistically . It becomes professional as your dedication can get you your professor's recommendation to teach in any college provided you have cleared UGC NET.

Fees and Financial Aid:

Everyone knows why students prefer government colleges over private colleges, the major reason is the course fee. The Department of English also is quite affordable in terms of its tuition fees and the department never asks for more money even after the admission. There are no fee concessions for anyone though. There are scholarships for some reserved categories but that is just on the papers, the fee is not refunded in real.

Fees and Financial Aid:

The overall fee for MA english in Hansraj College is around 44000, which gets split as around 22000 per year. Other than that you have to pay rs 500-700 for each end semester exam. Other than this you don't have to pay any extra fee. This 44000 includes everything for other expenses also. The college provides opportunities for fee concession also for which you have to fill the scholarship form and appear for a personal interview. Though, i am not sure about MA, but other commerce and business courses do offer placement opportunities.

Fees and Financial Aid:

Every semester, I have to pay around 700 rupees. Only after paying this, one can get their admit cards for exams. I didn't opt for any scholarships. So, I don't have any idea about that. I can say that study is really cost friendly in Du. However, if you live outside hostel, pg cost varies, which is expensive for most outsiders.

Fees and Financial Aid:

This is the only respite from studying at DU. The fees are nominal even with the hikes. Living is also relatively cheaper due to access to university resources. I did not avail of any scholarship during my master's but there are a number of scholarships that can be availed for students who come from less privileged backgrounds. Being a humanities course there was no scope for campus placement. They left us to fend for ourselves afterwards.
