Is Holkar Science College good for a B.Sc. in CS/PCM, if I couldn't secure admission in DU due to some family reasons?

DY

Disha Yadav,

22 Nov 21

No, Holkar Science College might not be a good option for B.Sc. One of my friends studied there and according to him the college lacked many things.

There was no proper infrastructure, Buildings were neglected of proper care and maintenance. The ambience and the student crowd is not healthy. As most of them do not have any ambition or interest in learning new things. The students are also not competitive enough, which makes them less dedicated towards their studies. 

Even the faculties are careless and do not bother much if the student is learning anything or not. They often skip classes which ultimately leads to not completing the syllabus.

No cultural events or extracurricular activities take place here. It is suggested that you look for other options, compare them with it and then finalize.

What are the future prospects of getting a BSc degree from DU? What are the best colleges in DU?

PM

Prashant Mathur

12 Oct 22

 In today's world, getting a bachelor's degree from any college isn't worth much.

DU has a brand name, but if your overall grades aren't good enough, having a degree from Delhi University is pointless.

By providing many resources and an intellectual environment, Delhi University will assist you in exploring various aspects of your personality.

However, if you have a bachelor's degree in any of the Science subjects or even Mathematics, you will need to do a master's or even a PhD to get a decent-paying job.

However, if you are an SRCC or Stephens graduate, you may be able to get a good placement from the college itself if you have a degree in Arts or Commerce with above-average marks.

The best colleges vary depending on your subject, such as SRCC for those interested in commerce. Stephen's is also regarded as one of the most prestigious universities. Other good colleges include Miranda House, Hindu, and Lady Shri Ram.
