If a person has short attendance in the 1st semester in DU, what could be the consequences?

AM
Addwait Mahajan Posted On : March 6th, 2023
Studied at the University of Delhi

In order to sit for exams, it's important to maintain a good attendance record, as the university has become stricter in this matter. If you're close to 67% attendance, you'll generally be given an admit card, but if your attendance is significantly lower, you may be asked to sign an affidavit before the card is issued.

While marks do contribute to your overall percentage, they may not be the most important factor. The quality of the lectures you attend is also crucial, as these are carefully prepared and analyzed by the professor. By actively listening and engaging with the material, you can gain valuable knowledge that will benefit you in the long run.

Attendance, however, is the most important aspect of attending classes. If you miss too many classes, you will miss out on important lectures and discussions, which can impact your understanding of the subject. It's important to try and attend as many classes as possible, and if you do face attendance issues, it can be helpful to speak with your professors or student officers to find a solution. By being proactive and engaged, you can make the most of your university experience and set yourself up for success in your future endeavors.

DD
Devdarshini Dey Posted On : June 22nd, 2021
Studied at Delhi University (2018)

One of my close friends graduated from the University of Delhi and here are some interesting things I got to know from him -

  • Delhi University is a place where you can polish yourself. Both with a holistic and academic approach.
  • Each college has its various societies formed by students like music, theatre, dance, literature, debating, NSS, NCC, etc.
  • Students clubs and organizations include Dramatics Societies, Dance Societies, Music Societies, Fashion Societies, Photography Societies, Literature Societies, NSS, and Sports clubs.
  • You need to participate in quite a few social groups in college for their overall development and to build up a good CV.
  • You should make the best of the opportunity that comes in the way.
  • The benefits of joining and working in college societies play an immense role at the placements.
  • Corporates would love to hire an already experienced student.
  • Good academics along with participating in extracurricular activities gives you an edge professionally.

While going through the process of joining societies many colleges require students to pass either an interview or an audition. Selecting a society to join requires a good understanding of the area of interest and hobbies. Gear yourself up for an enriching experience at the Delhi University.

Is an MBA from DU worth it?

BS
Bhoomika Sharma Posted On : October 6th, 2022
MBA in Global Business from University of Delhi

An MBA from FMS at DU has the same reputation as an MBA from any IIM. You will be surprised to learn that students frequently leave IIM for FMS due to its extremely low fee structure.

The Faculty of Management Studies at Delhi University also offers a two-year MBA programme. The college emphasizes practical learning by hosting workshops and internship programmes on a regular basis. FMS Delhi placement ended on a mixed note, with 100% of students receiving job offers. The average salary package was 23.20 LPA, but the highest package dropped from 54 LPA to 48 LPA. 

From a batch size of 216, 198 students participated in the process, with the remaining 18 opting out. The most notable achievement for the FMS placement 2019 was an increase in the average salary for female students, which increased to 25.10 LPA from 22.6 LPA previously.

DU FMS MBA programmes are among the best in India, with high educational standards and high returns on investment.

What is the difference between the north and south campus colleges of DU?

PD
Preeti Deshmukh Posted On : October 12th, 2022
BA from University of Delhi

There is no discernible difference.

1-The faculty levels on both campuses are the same. Teachers on the south campus are more helpful and friendly, but there are a few good teachers on the north campus as well.

2-When it comes to PG or food, the South campus is far too cheap. In the south, one can find very good affordable accommodation. North is a little pricey because there are too many colleges, which increases the demand for goods and pgs, and thus prices.

3-The crowd in each college is nearly mixed and uniform. Although the north campus receives more applications from students from UP, Bihar, Haryana, and Rajasthan because it is overrated and hyped among people, all mostly SC, ST, and OBC, sports quota, and ECA quota students go there if they get it anyhow. 

4-Colleges do not provide degrees; DU does. So, regardless of which college you attend, you will receive the same degree.

5-Placements- this is an extremely important factor. The majority of placements are reserved for Bcom and Economics Honours students. Placements are available at LSR, SRCC, Hindu, Venky, Hansraj, KMC, and Ramjas, but only for Bcom or Economics students. Other department students may be offered the internship, but the pay is insufficient.

6- Restrooms and drinking water- The restrooms in each college are clean and well-maintained. Clean and sanitary. However, if you drink a lot of water, you should only go to North Campus if you can buy a bottle for each day because the water there is too salty. 


There is no distinguishable difference between the two campuses. So choose a college that is easy to get to, as the metro has raised its fares, and where PG, hostels, and flats are reasonably priced, as you will be spending three years there.

Is it worth doing a BA in economics honors from an average college of DU?

PA
Pragya Agrawal Posted On : October 10th, 2022
B.A. in Economics, University of Delhi

Many people believe that college isn't necessary for success in life. No, it does not. But those people are simply not telling the whole story. The amount of struggle you will face without a college degree is 20 times greater than what you will face with a good college degree. Working hard today will make your life easier tomorrow.

Any average college isn't worth it unless you're in dire financial need or your family's mental state is unbearable. The hype surrounding DU is unreal. All of those 52 lakh eco packages are overpriced. 5 people out of lakhs may get it; the rest must compete for a 5 lakh job.

You should never accept anything less than what you deserve. You can apply for Jamia to enter. You may apply for abroad studies. You can get a fellowship and take a year off. Do whatever it takes to stand out from the crowd and make a better career for yourself.

Is a BA programme a good course if I do it from DU?

PR
Prakriti Raina Posted On : October 12th, 2022
LLB from Campus Law Centre, Faculty of Law, University of Delhi

BA at DU can be BA (Program), BA (Hons), and in Honors, you can take the specialization course in Economics, Political Science, History, English, Hindi, Geography, and so on.

Furthermore, if you expect to get a higher percentage in BA courses, you are mistaken. Students at Delhi University typically receive very low grades. The average score is between 51 and 58%. It would not surprise me if someone became a University topper with only 58% of the marks.

So, just for the DU brand, choose the BA program and if you want to work in the civil service, you're on the right track.
