Q:   If I have to apply for BA (Hons) in Economics in DU. What is the procedure to pursue the same?

A: 

The application process of Delhi University affiliated colleges for its BA and BA (Hons) courses start with the registration process of CUET.

Q:   How much does BA cost in Delhi University?

A: 

The total tuition fee for BA and BA (Hons) courses offered by the University of Delhi ranges between INR 540 and INR 1.5 lakh depending on the college a student is seeking or taking admission to. In addition to the affiliated college, BA course fee is also dependent on the specialisation selected by the student for the same.

Q:   Does DU conduct entrance exam for BA (hons) in political science?

A: 

DU does not conduct any entrance exam for admission to BA or BA (Hons) courses. However, it accepts the scores obtained by the students in the CUET UG exam for UG admission at any affiliated college. Having said that, students can get admission to Delhi University even if they didn't apply for CUET. While the chances of getting admission will be much lower, here are some of the ways a student can get admission to Delhi University without CUET:

  1. Take a chance on the spot admission: You can try your luck at the spot admission process, which is conducted by Delhi University after the CUET results are announced. However, the number of seats available under the spot admission process is very limited, so your chances of getting admission are slim.
  2. Apply for admission through the Delhi University School of Open Learning (SOL): The Delhi University School of Open Learning (SOL) offers a variety of undergraduate and postgraduate courses that do not require CUET scores. However, the admission process for SOL is more competitive than the regular admission process.

    Our college provides B.A. hons in French.
    Placements: Few of our seniors got placement and few went for higher studies. The highest salary package offered is 8 LPA, the average salary package is 4-5 LPA, and the lowest salary package is 3.5 LPA. Amazon is the top recruiter. Internships are not available. Most of the students went for social work or digital marketing and some students found through Internshala. Financial risk management is the role offered in Amazon and some people go for teaching or a translator.
    Infrastructure: Hostels are not available for our department. Wi-Fi doesn't work on the campus. Classrooms are well built and good during summers, it is not that hot. There is a library. We have a canteen which is not that good as there are not good options but good food is available.
    Faculty: Teachers are well qualified and knowledgeable, recently there was a shortage in faculty for German students. They help in studies and for future endeavors as well. Learning a foreign language is necessary these days so the course is very much relevant in today's time. Students can learn B1 level in french during the course so it prepares them for upcoming challenges. Semester exams are hard. The pass percentage is 33%. Half of the percentage gets from internals only, so you don't have to worry.
    Other: I chose this course as I am a keen learner of languages and have plenty of range to learn like German, Arabic, Sanskrit, Italian, Portuguese, and Hindi. There would be more audio-visual rooms but still, it works. There are no fests, but the student can get entry to all the fests. Connectivity is good as auto-rickshaws are running every day from the metro.

    A review by a student of foreign language course from the Delhi University.
    Placements: In my department, we have 25-30% of placements. And, I believe it's well and good because it is a language course and it all depends on the fluency. Amazon came to recruit, and from my course, 10 students got selected, and the package is quite well.
    Infrastructure: We have a good infrastructure in our department. Wi-Fi gives good speed. We have a very clean library with 1000s of books. It included books of each and every language. Worth reading. It not only has educational but also comics, magazines, etc. And, we have a beautiful garden which is worth seeing, and sitting there and studying is the best part.
    Faculty: The faculty are awesome. The professors have a lot of knowledge. Their teaching techniques are very good. The course curriculum is very properly chosen, it covers each and every field of our language. The subjects which we can have jobs in are all included in our curriculum.

    Review of Department of Germanic and Romance Studies, University of Delhi.
    Placements: Not many companies visit GRS Department for placements. Some major companies which visit here are TCS and Amazon. Amazon is the main recruiter and hires 10-15 students every year from respective languages. I was lucky enough to get placed in Amazon, and the salary package offered here is always attractive.
    Infrastructure: Department of GRS is a perfect example of the architectural beauty of Delhi University. Every year flowers grown in spring season makes it one of the most mesmerizing colleges in North Campus. I have been a witness of trees laden with yellow flowers. We don't have any computer rooms, but Delhi University provides free laptops to every student which suffices.
    Faculty: There are some of the best linguistics teachers from all over the globe with one vision of making every student excel in respective languages. The course curriculum has not changed from the last 10-15 years, but it hardly affects your study of language. As I am a francophone student, our primary aim was to speak and understand French, which we achieved here.
