    My campus is best, not for entertainment, for study.
    Placements: I am going to give my final year exam this year so let's see what happens. It seems to me, that they will provide placements. I am willing to take a job in MNC. I am looking forward to doing another course so my placement will be assured for sure.
    Infrastructure: The building of the college is in a very old design, but still convenient to me and it was built by Britishers. Classrooms are quite okay, but they should provide projectors so students can understand much better. The canteen is disgusting they should work for their canteen as well as for washrooms.
    Faculty: The teachers provided here are best, they make you understand very easily. The only big concerns are our staff members, indeed they are not supportive at all. The teachers have a good knowledge. They make you understand very well. Staffs are very rude.

    Q:   Is DU admission open?

    A: 

    DU admission for 2025 will open soon. Currently, the applications are open for PhD programme till Dec 10, 2024. Admission in Delhi University is based on CUET-UG and CUET-PG scores. Below are the upcoming events for DU admission:

    • The CUET PG registration process 2025 for admission to PG courses is expected to begin during the last week of Dec 2024, tentatively.
    • The CUET UG registration process 2025 for admission to UG courses will commence tentatively during the last week of Feb 2025. The CUET UG 2025 exam dates will be announced soon.

    Q:   Can I take admission to DU with 60% in Class 12?

    A: 

    DU is considered one of the most competitive universities in India for Commerce, Science and Arts education at the undergraduate level. The university and its affiliated colleges was attracting the cream layer of crowd till the time admission was subject to Class 12 scores. While reserved category candidates still had minor chances of getting into a not-so-popular course of DU with 60% in Class 12, a General category student with 60% had no chance of getting into any good college or course at DU. 

    However, starting 2022, DU admission process has shifted to CUET-UG based admission process. Those with a valid score in CUET UG exam who have passed their Class 12 are eligible to take admission now. While the chances of getting into a good DU college are still low at this score, the chances of getting a seat have increased now (provided you score extremely well in CUET UG). 

    Q:   Is Delhi University good for B.Ed?

    A: 
    {Source: B.Ed students & alumni}

    Based on student reviews and feedback, here's what stands out:

    * Teaching Quality: Teachers are considered knowledgeable, helpful, and supportive. They are willing to clarify doubts and help students develop their skills.

    * Course Curriculum: The course is designed to make students industry-ready. It covers field observations, school experience programs, and practical training.

    * Placement: About 80% of students get placed easily, with salaries ranging from INR2 LPA to INR5 LPA. Some even receive offers up to INR12 LPA. Internships are also available, with around 60% of students getting selected.

    * Infrastructure: Facilities include modern classrooms, libraries, labs, and hostels. Food is available at reasonable prices (around INR5,000 per month).

    * Scholarships: Some students have received scholarships, making the programme more accessible.

    * College Life: Clubs and events are organized regularly, providing opportunities for socializing and skill-building. However, some areas may need improvement, such as cleanliness and maintenance.

    In conclusion, Delhi University's Faculty of Law seems to offer a strong B.Ed program, with dedicated teachers, a relevant curriculum, and decent placement prospects. While there may be areas for improvement, overall, the university appears to provide a solid foundation for students pursuing a career in education.

    Q:   How many marks are required in CUET to get admission in DU?

    A: 

    Students can check the subject and some college wise CUET cut off for last year and predict their chances of admission through CUET this year. Check the table below to know the expected DU CUET cut off 2024:

    Q:   Can I get admission in DU with 45%?

    A: 

    Getting admission in DU with 45% is quite tough. Students with 45% in Class 12 can apply through quota or can apply under any reservation criteria. The other option is to opt for less popular course. Try to perform well in accepted entrance exams such as JEE Main,  CUET, and others. Students can also try contacting the university for any admission possibility with this perecentage.
