IGNOU is better than DU SOL, for a BA General correspondence program. An IGNOU degree is better recognized in the country. You can get the online course materials easily from the official website. IGNOU has good lab facilities as well.
It conducts classes and examinations on time. You can get help from the faculties online regarding any course-related doubts.
Every college has their own cut offs presented by them. The cut off marks tend to decrease with consecutive lists.
If you are a General category student 55-65 marks out of 100 would be enough to get you through. The reserved categories like OBC, SC or ST get a relaxation of 5-10%. Patna University also considers students from sports quota and other extra curricular achievements.
The BA program offered by the Delhi College of Arts and Commerce is good. The infrastructure of the department is decent. You will not face any trouble adjusting. The campus is peaceful and ideal for studies.
The faculties are great. Other than lectures they will give you information regarding useful seminars and workshops.
The rest depends entirely on you. Attendance is not mandatory, so many students choose to bunk classes. But if you want to learn there are great facilities. The library has a huge collection of books.
I have friends from both St. Stephens and JMC. Here are a few of the information that I got from them.
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.
For an average student the entrance exam is mostly easy. The test is of 100 marks and there is no negative marking. Here are some things you should know about it.
The questions will be based on General Knowledge and Aptitude which will be of 25 marks. And the rest of the 75 marks will be based on your subject. Make sure that you are well aware of the current trends and affairs.

You just need to know about the requirements for doing so. These could include: marks required or seats vacancy, etc.
The students involved in the youth elections will be able to guide you. Try getting a hold of a person who is a party member. He may be able to get you in, by admission or by referral.
