Which one is better for English Hons Shyam Lal College or Satyawati College?

NS
Nirali Shukla Posted On : October 1st, 2021
B.A. Hons. English Literature,University of Delhi (2015)

My cousin sister recently graduated from Satyawati College with her English (Hons). To be precise, the experience wasn’t as pleasant as she expected. Here are some crucial insights regarding the college and faculty according to her first-hand experience.

  • The faculty is not up to the mark due to the overwhelming amount of politics among themselves. 
  • The cold war between the right and left-wing politics creates tension and fights between them.
  • There have been instances when the faculty is too careless to even come to class. Instead, you might be marked absent for attendance, which is unacceptable.
  • Once my sister submitted her assignment on time but it got lost due to the faculty’s carelessness. 
  • To make matters worse, she was marked 0 for that assignment. 
  • Later she found out they usually do that to students who call them out on their insincerity.
Categories Shyam Lal College Satyawati College
Course Fee 29.75 - 52.35 K 22.96 - 52.32 K
Highest CTC 5.5 LPA 3.4 LPA
Average CTC 2.5 LPA 1.5 LPA
Recruiting Companies TCS, HP, Infosys, Tech Mahindra, etc. KAN Universal Private Limited, Signori Armadio, Infosys, Deloitte, etc.

However, one of her friends did her English (Hons.) from Shyamlal College which turned out to be quite well and continued to go for higher studies in the same. But due to my sister’s awful experience at Satyawati, she eventually lost interest in the subject.

Moreover, before taking admission into any DU college you must do thorough research on its faculty. Some colleges have really awful faculty which plays a huge role in your career.

Can I do MBBS and BA from IGNOU at the same time ?

SR
Simpal Rai Posted On : February 27th, 2023
BA from Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU) (Graduated 2020)

Yes, UGC has given its approval regarding pursuing two courses at the same time, only provided that one cannot pursue both these courses in regular mode. This basically means that for both courses to be considered valid,, one course has to be in regular mode and the other course must be in distance mode from Open University.

UGC rules are applicable in the case of IGNOU also. Earlier before UGC made such changes, IGNOU did not allow two regular courses simultaneously through the same University. But in accordance with recent regulations, you can do two regular as well as two distance courses at the same time.

Studied Master of Arts at Presidency University, Kolkata

If Presidency University Kolkata is your dream college then you must have a solid academic record. Your board exam marks matter a lot. But entrance exam scores will be highly emphasized.

CD
Chhaya Das, Posted On : October 28th, 2021
Studied at University of Delhi (2016)

Some of my friends studied Economics honors at Aryabhatta College. According to them, economics honors itself is a comparatively tougher subject, graduating with it is an achievement itself.

  • You get to know about how markets work and relate almost anything and any topic or current issue to the prevailing conditions of an economy. 
  • It also demands good skills in mathematics and quantitative ability that will benefit you in the long term. 
  • This course will push you to your limit. You will have to submit numerous projects based on case studies and current market scenarios.
  • Aryabhatta College is the youngest college of DU. It originated from an evening college converted to a morning one. 

The only thing that is a bit concerning is its placement cell, it is very new. Thus, not having established contacts with the reputed organizations and companies might come as a disadvantage. Few companies that visit the campus are average.
