Here is what a 2012 DU Hansraj College graduate has to say about life at DU.

As a 17 years old boy who had received high marks in 12th grade, his expectations were as high as they should have been. But, over time, he realized that DU is just like any other university in a sense that it gives you a name but not necessarily a job. So, he went through the typical Indian education system, i.e., focusing on grades rather than fundamentals. 

So, after enrolling in DU's Physics Hons, he skipped classes and concentrated on concepts, but the results were still disappointing. He wasn't getting good grades or gaining a lot of knowledge. But after three years, he realized that success is impossible without in-depth knowledge. He got admitted to IIT Bombay after putting in a lot of effort, and that completely changed his life. 

The DU experience is the most joyful, as he claims. He says he is a foodie who enjoys eating, studying, and traveling. Thus, below mentioned are a few places recommended by him:

  1. Amba Cinema- It is well-known for its whistling. He has visited the theater quite frequently and seen movies like Gabbar is Back, Baby, and many more.

  2. Chole Bhature of Rawalpindi

  3. The Kamla Nehru Ridge

  4. Miranda House

Life changes, and we should embrace it. The University of Delhi is not merely a dream university where students are keen to study, but it is an emotion. An intense sentiment is attached to the hearts of the students. Life here feels immensely simple yet happening. We meet different kinds of people in every phase of life that we spend here. It gives so many experiences, both beautiful and harsh, to learn, explore and understand the truth of life. Almost everyone is friendly, polite, helpful, thoughtful and cooperative. The primary draws at DU are the annual college fests. You get to have a wonderful experience and enjoy extraordinary performances by popular celebrities that you would never have seen in your entire life.

Getting admission to DU is a big deal. You should not feel apathetic and discouraged even if you do not get a top-ranked college. Every college of DU has an equal value when you get the degree. The faculties are cooperative and supportive. They are always ready to help the students. 

The only major differences are the infrastructure and the surrounding. Simplicity and Uniformity are observed in everyone studying or teaching at DU. Being one among the 2.5k applicants to be accepted into a DU college is something to be proud of. Be content with what you currently have, explore opportunities, and ask your seniors for assistance if necessary. 

"Getting into a good college" is an exaggerated and superficial concept and sincere courtesy goes to the media. Every DU college follows the same teaching standards.

It is a fact that everything happens for a reason. On Facebook, there was a post titled "Humans of SRCC" in which a few students expressed their thoughts and issues they had encountered at the college. They claim that they do not fit in at SRCC's fast-paced environment and that they feel isolated at times.

So, rather than regretting or overthinking what fate has in store for them, one should always accept it with grace and satisfaction.

There is a stark difference between both universities in terms of culture as well as fees. JNU or Jawaharlal Nehru University is mostly about expression, literature, culture, research, and building intellectual facilities whereas DU is all about glamor, fashion, fests, high cutoffs, and placements.

In financial terms, JNU is much more affordable than DU. Be it course fees or hostel fees, JNU cuts down on expenses a lot.

JNU is learning for life, whereas DU focuses on learning the bare essentials and getting placed in a reputed firm.

One more significant difference to consider is that JNU is more about post-graduation whereas DU focuses more on graduation. The difference in intellectual level stems from the same reason.

If you are still confused between the two, spend equal time on both campuses and you will get the answer soon.

Depending on the course and the number of applications, each college at DU has its cut-off. This cut-off is also different for each student category. SC, ST, OBC, and PWD candidates generally have lower cut-offs than general category students. There is also an option for students who excel in sports and extracurricular activities to get a break from the cut-off. 

The first step is to complete the Admission form, which is available both online and offline on the official website. The dates for the cut-offs will also be announced on the same website. You can see if you pass the cutoff based on your score on the board. Most colleges accept the best of four scores with English as a mandatory subject, and subjects such as Physical Education are not considered. If you see that you meet the cut-off for a specific college, it is a good idea to check the college's website to see if they have any additional eligibility criteria. If you meet all of the requirements, you must report to the college within the next two days. The college may have its form that you must fill out and submit along with a few documents for verification. 

The documents would have to include- 

  • Mark Sheets for Grades 10 and 12 (Get them attested by your school principal or a gazetted officer)

  • School character certificate 

  • Birth certificate 

  • SC/ST/OBC/PWD certificate if you fall into any of the categories

  • Certificates of proof for your ECA and sports if you want to take advantage of the cut-off relaxation.

After the verification is finished, you must pay the fees and receive a receipt confirming your admission.

One of the students of DU shared her experience by explaining that the orientation day was the first day of lectures. When everyone arrived in the designated room, their faculty was there to greet them. She witnessed a lot of strange faces. Fortunately, she had her roommate to chat with because she was also a classmate. Lecturers treated them extremely well. Then everyone began introducing themselves.

The first person to start was their HOD. Her remarks brightened their day. They were on edge because of how seriously she began but gradually calmed them down with her humble words. She shared her beliefs with us and gave them a verbal tour of the campus. She then requested an introduction from each of the students. At the end of the orientation, she wished them luck. 

The rest of the day was spent lying in bed, talking on the phone, and doing nothing. After three weeks, proper classes began. By the fifth week, the books had been recommended. DU released the date sheet just as the students finished one chapter. It was a completely new experience for her, but it was well worth it, as she says it.
