Satisfied but course structure need to be redefined.

Placements: In our batch, the number of students is around 40. Cluster Innovation Centre doesn't have its placement cell. However, many students secured good internships during and after the course. Many alumni from our batch are pursuing various academic paths at universities around the world.

Infrastructure: Personally, I believe CIC has the best infrastructure among all the colleges in Delhi University. It offers essential facilities like Wi-Fi, digital labs, and spacious classrooms. CIC doesn't have its own hostel but provides secured accommodation in different hostels across the University of Delhi.

Faculty: The teachers and faculty members are highly qualified and intellectual. They treat students like their own children, assisting them in overcoming difficulties not only in studies but also in life. In my opinion, the curriculum or course structure could benefit from a slight redefinition.

Commendable faculty and the surroundings of my college.

Placements: The average package provided by the college is 10 LPA. The average percentage of students that were being placed was 70 percent. Rather, the company is accruing internships at the college. Students often go abroad for research purposes and analytical studies.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure of the college is really laudable. The classrooms are near and clean as well, and the whole college is fully air-conditioned. The quality of the food is very good, and the students get access to lifts to stir up the floors. The sports authority is very good.

Faculty: The faculty teachers are very helpful, and they provide students with as much help as they can. The teaching style is very practical. Each and every word is being taught in detail analysis. The semesters are concerned with mediation being difficult, with a passing percentage of 80 percent.

Other: I chose this course because I want to become a research analyst. The best thing in my course is the development of human nature, as it provides an ethical scope for development. The campus surrounding it is very good. Scholarships are being provided to needy students.

Really good infrastructure and unique course.

Placements: There is no placement structure in Cluster Innovation Centre (CIC); you can't get any placement here. Even the internships are very less than those offered by other Delhi University colleges. It claims you don't need placements if you studied in Cluster Innovation Centre.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure is really good; almost every room has air conditioners, and the building is also pretty. It has a library, labs, open areas, and common areas, and even these places have ACs. The environment is really peaceful, not too much rush. The hostel they provide is also pretty good and offers good quality food.

Faculty: The faculty is well-qualified and very helpful; you can easily contact them even without any help of others. Every professor is reachable. Even the Director, Ma'am, of CIC is very sweet and interacts with students very politely. She is also approachable. The course structure is also very unique; you have to go to different colleges for different papers.

Other: Overall, the course and college are really nice, but it does not have societies, although you can form one if you want. And it also didn't have any fest before but started recently; it had its first fest recently.

The most unique and unpopular place for undergraduate .

Placements: Looking at the records of our past seniors and the Alumni, I found out that they have been placed nicely, and not because CIC has given them the placement through a central placement cell or something but how it evolved the students to become self-sufficient. CIC is a place that gives the students so much of freedom to learn and grow more than any other undergraduate centre or college. Recent passouts of my course are now enrolled at a good University for their higher education while past Alumni are mostly placed in MNCs or they have their own startups. A few of the seniors are in foreign for their further studies, mostly are on funded scholarships due to their strong profile.

Infrastructure: We have Wi-Fi in the campus, the classrooms are quite big with evolving chair for the students. The infra may excited many people very easily. And talking about the hostel facilities, there are University hostels available for the students to enroll at but there are limited seats only, students can only apply while out of the total, 40-50 students enrolled in the course, a total of 10 students can easily get the hostel. While there are actually less competitions for the hostel.

Faculty: The course is based on the Meta-college concept and that's super exciting and challenging. If you love to accept challenges and work on them then congrats, CIC is for you. Going to 3 colleges and one centre in just a single graduation degree, it is one of the most unique fact about CIC. The curriculum here is the most unique and unpopular while giving student the best learning experience. If you join, don't mind doing the projects with full dedication and professionalism. They are the backbone of CIC.

Other: Learn to initiate things, take up the responsibility and you'll find everything nice and workable.

Our college teaches concepts amazingly but doesn't give support.

Placements: There is no placement cell in CIC. So, at the end of the course, based on the internship you do, you can get a placement. The responsibility of CIC helps in the sense it vouch for a unique interdisciplinary course and innovation. You can apply for internships in companies tied up with CIC, or even you can get internships through other DU colleges in which you will get an opportunity to study. So, there's no guarantee of placements, but the reputation of the college can be helpful to get you a better job if you try.

Infrastructure: Only CIC offers its students to join DU hostels, which are specifically for PG students. But from every class, only academically top 5 students get the hostels in which there is a reservation of seats as 2+1+2. There is no guarantee that hostels will be provided to students. Until now, it has been the situation except for few cases where few students couldn't get it. The classrooms are good, but the air-conditioners and elevators have recently stopped working, which never got repaired. So, the administration is a big problem here. Otherwise, the building is beautiful. The library is decent with minimum books. Wi-Fi is not offered to students separately. There is one Wi-Fi router, but students don't know its password.

Faculty: CIC offers a unique course in the name of B.A Hons humanities and social sciences, which allows students to choose different papers from different DU colleges every semester. Apart from that, as the course is interdisciplinary, it gives an edge to students. You will study papers of your interest from any DU college and from any discipline and any semester. But the administration is a big problem. Different rules can be made and changed which restrict students, but it was highly influenced by the COVID-19 situation. Our academic results are delayed, and not many colleges know about CIC. So, it is a problem as well. Faculty members here are decent, and they teach you only for 2 semesters (1st and 5th) and an additional paper for the rest 4 semesters. The project scope is quite limited. Overall, CIC has good potential if the administration becomes serious about it. The course curriculum is good for the future and will be in demand. The course curriculum is based on the concept of what actually NEP suggests.

Other: My course is interdisciplinary, and it allows students to choose and study papers from any DU college and choose papers from any discipline and from any semester. Students should choose a course and faculty members with the name of the college. But most of the DU colleges have disappointing faculty members. CIC has a multipurpose gym where you can have sports and do gym, and the fee is also very affordable. There is no trainer. CIC doesn't organise its own fest, but you can attend any DU college's fest with its name. Faculty members are not very supportive of extra activities and don't allow students to celebrate any festivals or programmes in CIC. So, faculty members and administration are real problems here. CIC is on North Campus, so atleast for two semesters, you stay on the North Campus and get to see the crowd of other colleges. For the rest 4 semesters, you get to study with them depending on what college you choose to study.

The college has good placements and awesome faculty.

Placements: The first time I came here was to collect the entrance form. We talked to the seniors and teachers about the course and exam since CIC was just a year old and we barely had any other source. The faculty are very good. There is no placement cell, but the college is good.

Infrastructure: The seniors and teachers of our course are good. Our seniors are like our brothers, and one of my seniors helped me a lot.

Faculty: The faculty members in our college are very good and friendly. They are helpful.

Other: Events and fests are conducted occasionally.
