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.

What are the minimum marks required to get admitted to Calicut University for a BA in English literature?

PJ
Priyank Jaiswal Posted On : October 29th, 2022
Studied Bachelor of Arts Degrees in English Literature

It is determined by the number of seats available at the college. Calicut University does not conduct exams properly, and your grades will not be corrected. This means that the student who studies the best in class and the student who did not study for the exam get nearly the same grade. 

The university doesn't even properly correct the papers. It's also evident in newspaper articles about the majority of students failing a university exam. Your semester exams will be held on an irregular basis. That is, if you are in the third semester, you may write for the first semester. 

Furthermore, if you fail at some point in the third semester and all of the other semesters succeed, it will take years for you to pass the exam because the supplementary exam is not given frequently.

What is the class timing of BA English honours in Lady Brabourne College Kolkata?

SD
Sukanya Dey Posted On : December 28th, 2021
B.A English Literature, Lady Brabourne College (2013)

The class timings are 10 AM to 4:30 PM. The Honours classes can take place at any time of the day. 

The day might begin with an honours class with the very last class being for honours subject too. 

All the departments are very strict, so you cannot skip any of the honours classes if you have attended one already. 

You must be very particular with attendance in college as it is strictly checked. Failure to maintain a 70% attendance will restrict you from sitting in the selection exams.

Should I do BA programme from St. Stephens or English honours from JMC?

SR
Sugandhi Roy Posted On : October 29th, 2021
studied at Kirori Mal College, Delhi University

I have friends from both St. Stephens and JMC. Here are a few of the information that I got from them. 

  • St. Stephens is a prestigious college with its own sets of rules and code of conduct. It has a good campus. If you want to explore ideas, places and have a decent campus life then St. Stephens is a great option.
  • JMC is an off-campus college. So, you won’t have access to campus. It is a girl’s college with strict rules. 

Now coming to the courses, in English honors, you will learn about a myriad of texts from different countries and different time periods. However, you will have to spend your three years around poetry and prose. You won’t get to experience much diversity when it comes to subjects. For the BA program, however, you can choose all subjects from Social Science. There are many combinations that you can opt for. 

So, I will suggest that you choose the program which will keep you interested for the next three years. College life will be similar irrespective of the institute. Also, gone are the days when students with honors degrees were treated superior to the students who pursued programs.
