B.com Honors in Business & Marketing, University of Delhi

There is a quota for Delhi students at DU. In a recently concluded hearing, the Delhi High Court stated that a Delhi student who graduates from an NCR school will not be eligible for the Delhi Quota for college admissions. The Delhi High Court heard a petition from a class 12 student seeking the benefit of reservation for college admission and clarified that the Delhi Quota will be applied based on school, not domicile. In all Delhi University colleges, 85 percent of the seats are reserved for Delhi residents, while 15 percent are reserved for candidates from outside the city. 

Below is a list of 12 Delhi University Colleges that are fully sponsored by the Delhi Government.

Indira Gandhi Institute of Phy. Education & Sports Science Shaheed Sukhdev College of Business Studies
Shaheed RajGuru College Deen Dayal Upadhyaya College
Dr. Bhim Rao Ambedkar College Acharya Narendra Dev College
Bhagini Nivedita College Keshav Maha Vidyalaya
Maharaja Agrasen College Aditi Mahavidyalaya
Maharshi Balmiki College of Education Bhaskara Charya College of Applied Science

According to the proposal by the Delhi Government, the colleges that receive 50% capital grants and 5% recurring grants from the Delhi State Government will likely have 50% reservations for Delhites. This list includes 16 colleges, which are as follows:

Bharti College Gargi College
Delhi College of Arts and Commerce Kalindi College
Maitreyi College Rajdhani College
Shivaji College Satyawati College
Vivekananda College Satyawati College
Kamala Nehru College Motilal Nehru College
Laxmi Bai College Shyama Prasad Mukharji College
Sri Aurobindo College Shaheed Bhagat Singh College

Every year, DU announces its annual hiking cut-offs, which include only the best students from across the country. Some colleges have cutoffs as high as 100%.

Which is better for UPSC CSE PREPARATION BA or BA Hons in political science from DU?

YD
Yuvraj Dua Posted On : October 7th, 2022
M.A. in Politics & International Relations, Jawaharlal Nehru University

BA and BA Honors are both excellent choices for UPSC CSE. It will aid you in your preparation for the Prelims and Main exams.

In BA course, you must study three different subjects, such as political science, history, and geography, which means that 50% of the syllabus has already been covered, and if you choose Political Science as an optional subject, another 40% has already been covered. So taking a BA course will improve your chances. 

Now, moving on to the BA (Hons), you will study political science in depth, which will help you in the Mains because, as we all know, the difficulty level of optional is higher than the Bachelor level but lower than the Master's level, so it will benefit you greatly. However, because you will only be studying two subjects in your bachelor's programme, you will have to study the third subject on your own.

Thus, you should pursue a BA General course. However, as everyone knows, UPSC is all about extreme hard work, luck, proper planning, guidance, and several other factors. Make your own decision and put in your best effort.

How good is Indraprastha College of DU in reality?

SS
Sanjana Singh Posted On : October 10th, 2022
Studied at Indraprastha College for Women, University of Delhi

Seeing hundreds of girls daily can be overwhelming if you attend a co-ed school. But you'll get used to it. Despite its proximity to North Campus, it is no less than an off-campus college. The typical North campus atmosphere is missing. However, Kamla Nagar and GTB Nagar are only a few minutes away by autorickshaw.

The college canteen is not that good. It's vegetarian, and the menu isn't particularly appealing. The chole kulche and chaats available outside the college are tasty. Rolls Club, located near the metro station, serves delicious Chilli chicken rolls.

The professors, like all other DU colleges, are uninvolved concerning what you do outside of class. However, keep your attendance above 40%, at all costs. There are no language restrictions. If you don't understand something in English, teachers are willing to teach you again in Hindi. Most professors, at least.

In a semester, each paper has only two exams. There are no class tests otherwise.

There is no AC, only fans. You can go to the library for AC during your free period. The library is phenomenal for a government college. It has three floors with a lift and an online system to determine where books are kept. There is an ICT lab with internet access. 

You must make your own college life enjoyable. You will meet many incredible women who will inspire you with their grace, intelligence, courage, speaking abilities, and pure hearts.

Can I apply to a DU college in the second cut off even if I was eligible for the first cut off but did not take admission at that time?

DR
Dev Rajput Posted On : October 10th, 2022
Studied at University of Delhi

Yes, you can still apply for college admission. All you need to do is bring all necessary documents, but keep in mind that you will be marked as a Defaulter (a Defaulter student fails to appear in the previous cut-off when he was meeting the requirements). 

According to University Regulations, a defaulter can only take admission on the third day of that particular cut-off.

You should go to the college where you want to enroll on the first day and follow the admissions procedure. You are suggested not to tell any teacher about the same because teachers sometimes forget to check if students are defaulters or not. If anyone gets to know, then you will have to come back again on the third day of admission.
