Sneha Dhariwal's Review On Daulat Ram College - [DRC], New Delhi
Remarks :
University of Delhi accepts admission via CUET Exam, followed by the preference list made by the candidates, then allocating the college keeping in mind all the supernumery quotas and CUET Scores. My raw scores of CUET were 770/800, which gave me an idea of getting into Hansraj College, BUT, NTA had other plans! They calculated my final score as 740 out of nowhere. I had ECA in creative writing (english), quiz & nss where I secured HIGHEST MARKS in past 5 years in the history of ECA in creative writing: 59. Instead of getting a college according to my highest score 59, I got a college with lowest score in NSS(34). It was IPCW. This experience has lowered my morale a LOT. So, there was no option left and I had to accept my college at first allocation round i.e. Daulat Ram College. Afterall, it feels like DRC is meant for me , my girls are making it very enjoyable journey:)
Course Curriculum Overview :
• Infrastructure of DRC is quietly poor. • Total strength of my classroom is approx 70 but alloted rooms for classes are WAY TOO SMALL. • It's a complete girls college, so no girls: boys exist. • Yes , variety of kids of various cultures can be found from whole india, but majority is from North India (Haryana, UP, Bihar, Delhi). • Yes, collective learning and growing environment persists in my classroom. • Class participation SURELY carries marks. • it's only 30% of the students who genuinely attend classes for learning. Since outside college, there exists a lot of opportunities which have more growth chances. Students tend to keep themselves more included in society works rather. It's good to see students prioritising what's more beneficial and striking a balance between classes and exposure.
Internships Opportunities :
Best placements are provided in Commerce and Economics department. Not 100% but 70% of the students get Summer internships. 40-50% students get paid internships. Companies that are associated with Placement cell are Deloitte, Accenture , Dyson, KPMG, PWC, EY, HCL, NIIT, Decathlon, etc. but since I am undergraduate student in 1st year semester 1 BCom program. I am not acryped with enough information to be provided here since I am a part of the college from one month only.
Placement Experience :
I'm an undergraduate student in First year Semester -1 of B.Com. it's only a month I've been a part of Daulat Ram College. Currently I'm not having enough reliable information to be provided here. hence I am not having much information of the most preferred company, average CTC for placement and transparency of the placement committee.
Loan/ Scholarship Provisions :
Fee for General category student for B.Com program is Rs. 34250 per year while it is comparatively way for PWD candidates. I'll be paying Rs. 102750 approximately for my 3-year degree. This fee seems to be HIGHER as compared to other colleges affiliated with University of Delhi. Apart from fee, other expenses (considering girls) include PG rents ranging from 12000-20000, being a wise spender, upper expenses cannot exceed Rs. 3000 per month since transportation in north campus is free of cost. Good thing is this 3000 may include all your fest costs as well ;) Yes, the college provides various Scholarships under NSP, and other commercial scholarships provided my big firms like Reliance are also supported.
Campus Life :
Yes, sports complex is there is DRC having all the sports with proper equipments. Gym is also there, seems to be newly built. No, there is not any swimming pool. Auditorium (Sadbhavana Bhawan) is 6/10 as compared to other colleges. Library is accessible but only to DRC staff and students with regular I'd card checking. Campus is not as big as other colleges, it's satisfactory. Yes there are other food joints just outside the college.Overall campus life : 11/10 Fests: 8/10 During Manjari'23, Akhil was invited. Major societies include EISC Cell, Vriddhi the placement cell, Cases over Coffee, Zenith - western dance society, Anhad- Classical dance society, Eclat- economics society, GAEE'DRC, Debonair -Fashion society and many more. I'm a part of UDYAM- ENTREPRENEURSHIP, INNOVATIVE AND STARTUP CELL, as a Junior Executive of the Sponsorship Department.
Hostel Facilities :
I've not applied for college hostel. But many of friends are in hostel and reviews are very good in every aspect either its safety or food. Yes, college has its own canteen and cafeteria but hostel kids prefer to have their meals at the hostel itself. Absolutely, hostels are guarded properly. Time to reach (at most) in a girls hostel is 7 pm.As much I've asked from my "hostel-kid" friend, it offers single, double sharing , triple and 4-girls sharing rooms as well. Quality of the amenities provided are moderate, but, food is quite good. Other than hostels, students prefer to have PGs, meanwhile boys of second year prefer to have a flat of their own.
Exam Structure :
The very important thing is: CUET scores! Taking admission into college doesn't require any interview or GD, but college societies do follow a rigourous process like this. Allocation into college is done on at automated portal of University of Delhi, considering the preference list of the candidate, and all the quotas if any (both caste and supernumery). Safe score for getting into North campus of DU & top colleges of South like Veny for General category is 730+ (B.Com). For top 5 colleges it would be 760+ - No, there is NOT any way of getting into DU with Donation, but yes, Ward's Quota exists! TIMELINE: 1. CUET Application Form: 9th February 2024 to 30th March, 2024. 2. Last Date for CUET Form Fee Payment Online: 30th March, 2024 4. Correction Window of form: 1st to 3rd April, 2023 5.

Faculty :
The course is not that difficult, there are some exams which you might find difficult although if you study you can do anything. In first year there are around 30 exams, 10 in each trimester.The classes vary from trimester to trimester, but usually 2-3 in a day and 1hr 30 minutes each class. The classes start from 8:30 AM and go on till 3:45 PM. The students get 15 minutes break after every class. The faculty teaches from real world cases and provides Harvard business review cases and activities to make the classes interactive. Students should have at least 80% attendance in every subject and if it goes below 80% you should have a really good reason to convince the admin but don’t go to that point. NMIMS are strict about their rules, so it’s better to follow them blindly.

Best college in south campus
Course Curriculum Overview :
The course curriculum is very good. The area of improvement in the course is there are a very large amount of students in class and there is only one teacher to handle it. They should be divided into 2 or 3 parts means they should increase the faculty members. The timing of the exam is not satisfying sometimes the teachers come 10-15 minutes late.
Good college

Placement Experience :
There is and there is not placement available..only a Little bit placement companies come to college every year which hardly gives opportunity to 150 to 200 students..you can do extra curricular activities in the campus so that can be included in your resume which can help you in placement
