Experiencing DU as a New comer
Likes
- I liked Virbancy and exposure that DU gave me, as there were people from all around India
- Also like the various functions, partys, fests, programs, trips that were regularly conducted by our colleges
- There are also several internship programs that are regularly carried out by DU
Dislikes
- Pollution is one of the major things I disliked, coz during winters the AQI is around 300-500, which is very harmful. And it took several months for me to adjust to Delhi's climate
- Lack of accommodation (not enough hostels are provided to the students of UG coursee, then we have to opt for private PGs with higher cost)
- Higher living expense (things are a little bit expensive here)
Remarks :
The admission process was through CUET after 12th. I opted for Bsc. (Honors) Botany, in DU, for which u need to have taken PCB or PCMB in your 12th and score atleast 50% in 12th boards. Then u gotta register for the exam by filling up their examination form from their website "cuetsamarth.ac.in" when their registration process starts. Then after exam I enrolled myself in DU's CSAS portal, filled up preference list of colleges under DU, and then got my admission (for more details U can look up on YT). There are also reservation benefits for ST/SC/OBC too.

I chose botany, simply because I wanted to go in research sector or science. The faculty is also great, our teachers are very helpful and considering and our department has 18 assigned teachers for our course, and all the faculty members are PHD holders in their respective courses, and they teaching done used modern methods, such as via smart boards, Projectors, using PPTs, PDFs etc. And regular assessment and exams are also conducted without any slack

Loan/ Scholarship Provisions :
Overall all it's pretty affordable for me, as it only took ?18000/yr to avail my course, but the prices might increase with an incremet of ?1k to ?2k per year (as my course was ?16000/yr, the previous year).
