At Delhi University, Environmental Studies is an AECC subject and compulsory for the first semester. The examination is not that tough. The question asked are related to the curriculum and the syllabus taught by the teachers. But students usually do not take these classes seriously. That’s why many times students find the examination difficult. If you follow the classes seriously, you can easily answer the questions.
My cousin graduated from DU. According to her, there are many downsides to studying at DU. Here is what she shared with me.
Accommodation is costlier than your education, no change in curriculum, no alumni active network. Hope this gives you an idea.
Since you’ve not given any context to the question, the answer in any normal circumstance would be yes. Let’s understand why spending more than 5 lacs on an IPM degree is not worth your time and effort.
BMS is a slightly analytical degree that would give you an edge over students pursuing BBA or BCOM. I have seen BMS students acing CAT after basic preparation cause of their good grasp on logical reasoning. It’s a given fact that an average BMS students is more likely to score well in CAT than an average BBA/BCOM student.
DU indeed is a spectacular university and is rightfully famous for its infrastructure, curriculum, and everything in general. But several things are a bit overrated like:
Despite its flaws, Delhi University is indeed one of a kind. The crowd here is versatile and you get to meet people from everywhere. The variety of extracurricular activities, clubs, and societies of DU will surely make your stay here. The colleges at DU have a lot to give, just be with the right people.
What truly distinguishes universities such as DU, JNU, and BHU is their brand value and large alumni base. It's as if they've created a brand, particularly for social science courses. A degree from it is valuable in and of itself. Second, while faculty may be similar in some ways, exposure at DU is unparalleled. You will learn a lot.
MSU Baroda is a great university with a vibrant past and a strong alumni base, but in the current scenario, good colleges of DU stand out. But, yes, you must work hard and take the initiative to learn and gain knowledge wherever you study because, in the end, it is the knowledge you acquire that counts.
It entirely depends on which course you are choosing. However, overall DU is definitely better than PU and Jammu University.
The academics and faculty base are almost the same at these universities. However, academics are not the only influencing factor in the overall development of students. Curriculum, exposure, and other additional things also play crucial roles.
At DU, you will have great exposure. DU has many societies like dance society, fashion society, debating society, etc. If you have any passion, you can explore it at DU. The peer group at DU is also better.
If we speak generally, for the given institutes, your preference order should be DU>PU>Jammu University.
The placements at Delhi University have a dark side that nobody tells you about. This is because you can experience it only if you yourself are in one of the mediocre colleges of DU.
For the best colleges in North and South Campus or Off Campus (SRCC, KMC, Miranda, Hindu, Venky, SBSC, Gargi, LSR, SSCBS, KVM), placements are not a big deal. This is because they will get you into big MNCs with high packages. Your performance in the interview is also significant.
But here is the dark side. If your college is mediocre and not among the top colleges of DU you will get placements in MNCs but for trivial positions like Customer Service Executives, Process Associates, or Airlines with Cabin Crew. The packages here are as low as 1.5-3.5 LPA.
So it all really depends on which college you are in.
Delhi University is the most sought-after institute by students of graduation and postgraduation. Even though clearing cutoffs and securing a seat at DU is extremely challenging, certain colleges at Delhi University have failed to secure a favorable student opinion, either due to poor infrastructure, negligent faculty/ administration, or simply because of the poor neighborhood.
Some of these colleges, as suggested by a few friends of mine, are-
This list is subjective and some of the people have even been graduated 5 or 6 years ago. Colleges at DU undergo constant improvements in terms of administration, infrastructure, academics, and so on. It depends also upon individual taste as to which college one finds good or bad.
IIM Sirmaur is the best option among these. You will get good learning opportunities there. The faculties are highly qualified as any other IIM. Due to the smaller batch size, students get the required attention from professors.
The institute has a good placement record. IIM Sirmaur placement 2021 had an average CTC of INR 9.60 LPA. Besides the on-campus placement drive, the brand value will help you get jobs through offline applications.
