Q:   Is BA at Maitreyi College better than Zakir Husain Delhi College?

A: 

Hello Nishar Ahmed, with both of these institutions having great name for themselves in academics and also having achieved a gradation of "A+" by NAAC, is quite tough to compare these two colleges for studying any subject in Bachelor of arts. Zakir Husain college offers almost 26 different streams or varieties of graduations in Bachelor of arts whereas Maitreyi college offers only 8 varieties in Bachelor of arts. So this may decide a student's choice as to which college to select based on the specialisation one wants to do in this stream of arts. Another criteria is the placements. In this area perhaps Maitri out scores Zakir Hussain. They have declared on their webpage that almost 60% of more than 200 students placed last year were from the stream of arts. 

       Be that as it may both colleges appear to have a very nice set of teachers and academic programs as well as varieties of co curricular activities for students for the overall development. This makes both the college almost appear at the same footing while selecting. Of course if one is a male student then there is no choice but to go for Zakir Hussain college since Maitreyi is only for girls. But overall I would say Zakir Hussain is better than Maitreyi for BA. 

Best wishes to you.

Q:   How much does BA at Maitreyi College cost?

A: 

Hello Nishar Ahmed, Maitreyi college was established in the year 1967 and is in the south campus of Delhi University. This NAAC grade "A+" college charges really unbelievably low fees for all courses of BA. It's just about Rs 11500.00. Of course if student desires to live in hostel then additional charges have to be paid. 

Best wishes to you.

Good college, great faculty, and amazing college life.
Placements: Placement cell was quite active, but I don't have detailed knowledge of their activities and events organized by them since I wasn't a part of the cell. We had summer internship projects, and students came up with very good and interesting project ideas which were quite interesting to watch.
Infrastructure: The canteen was good. During summers, some of my fondest memories were of going to the Mother Dairy booth outside the canteen and enjoying ice cream with my friends. The open audit was also a good place to relax if classes got over early. The library provides a good atmosphere for quiet study and work.
Faculty: I belonged to the Department of Sociology, and although I belonged to the Covid batch and was worried about my CGPA and overall learning, I'm very happy and proud to say that my teachers were a constant guiding presence. I am forever grateful for their constant efforts and help in guiding and refining my knowledge of the subject.
Other: I had a very good college life at Maitreyi - speaking in terms of both academics as well as extracurricular activities. I myself was a part of the English Literary and Debating Society Trenchant, and I had wonderful seniors who guided me as well as intelligent and lovely juniors who were an absolute pleasure to be with. I was able to connect with various people from different courses in Trenchant and overall had a very enriching and wholesome experience.

Review of Maitreyi College.
Placements: I don't want any placement from my college as I will be preparing for civil services after my graduation. The highest package offered in our college is 21 Lacs per annum. The average package is 5.3 Lacs per annum. The placement percentage is around 40%, which is a decent percentage.
Infrastructure: I'm impressed by the infrastructure of the college; it's quite good though it's a government college. The building is not too old, but it is good-looking too. The classrooms, labs, and library are well-maintained here. Hostel facilities are also provided by the college. Good quality of hostel rooms with all facilities required: table, B.Ed almirah, AC, Wi-Fi, and many more.
Faculty: There are a lot of faculty members in our college, and everyone is too nice to be hated or disliked. This is because the level of comfort and joy while they teach is absolutely wow. In a year, there are two exams: mid-semester and final semester. The course curriculum is quite relevant.
Other: I opted for this course because I love to do social work, and from my class 11, my interest developed in this course. Events and fests are organized occasionally, and the connectivity of the college to the nearest metro is approximately 2 km.
