Being a movies freak, I always dreamed of a college which is like one of those we see in high school movies. One which has a good infrastructure, with lots of opportunities to make many college life memories. However, when I took admission in this college of south campus of the University of Delhi, which is situated in between the Kalkaji market, my dreams shattered. When I first arrived at the college campus, I was disheartened seeing the college infrastructure. The pale yellowish and depressed walls, a dimly lighted canteen, dingy washrooms as one sees in a typical government college, no proper desk windows for student inquiries and a gloomy, almost dark room instead of an auditorium for organizing events and meetings. However, this was all I witnessed during my first year of my three years course. Entering my third year, I have seen many changes in my college and I am quite satisfied. The white washed walls of the college and the canteen, no more broken benches, and clean washrooms! The union really did its bit and I am glad.
I think to gain better industry exposure at our college, there should be more seminars regarding an effective CV construction, occasional moral education classes should be held. Apart from various vocational societies, students who are unable to make it to the societies should be considered and should be given more opportunities to display their talents which would boost their confidence which would directly help them enhance their personality, since we know that today's industry trend requires an individual to be an all rounder and a risk taker and doer.
The cultural fests at our college and day to day college days makes my college life a little happening, however, If more fun trips and adventure camps get added to the mix, I guess I'd be able to brag about my college life a little more.
Even though our college always had an active placement cell and our college's alumni have been placed in various reputed companies, many students of our college were not aware of it. However, the newly assigned placement committee is doing its best to become even more effective, efficient and trustworthy. The committee is organizing career counseling sessions and are trying to bring arts related companies to the college for placement and I guess that's a big step forward. Talking about the hostels, Since I am not a hostler, I don't know much about it. Yet as far as I know, people prefer pg and individual flats over hostels.
With God's grace, I am blessed with the best faculty. The department of English is one of the best departments in our college! All my teachers and professors are exceptional in their own ways. However, to point a few out. My favorite teacher used to teach me my popular fiction subject. Her friendliness, her calm yet exciting attitude, and her interesting internal assignments keep me stick to my seat her entire class. The second teacher I'd like to talk about in this review is none other than my English literature teacher. The knowledge she has is impressive! She keeps knowledge of almost everything and also arouses her class to discuss and debate the issues. She makes sure that our voices are heard and I am thankful to her.
Entering my last year of my graduation course, many complain about the college's crowd (including me). People tend to judge a college's reputation on the basis of a college's infrastructure and the crowd. (I know I did!) The only way it impacts the college is it gives the college a bad name.
Being a college which falls under the University of Delhi which is a government institute, the fee is minimal and can be afforded by almost all the classes of the social strata.
