It is worth taking admission at the Institute of Home Economics in journalism course.

Placements: Approximately 30% of the students got placed in the college by themselves. The college does not provide placements in our course because we have a bachelor's degree. In the previous session, some seniors were placed in various media agencies by themselves only.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure of our college is average as the same old Delhi University building in red colors. It has a brick structure. The college does not provide a hostel for any course either journalism microbiology, or other courses. They only have two wings A block and B block.

Faculty: Faculty members of the college are not that great and not that professional. They treat well to students who are financially strong. Exams are conducted so strictly and professionally. They follow the guidelines of the Delhi University.

Other: There is nothing more to describe about the college, to be honest. I got this college from the CUET exam score. The journalism course is all about practical learning rather than the subjective and theoretical part where we learn about photography, filmmaking, writing blogs, newspaper editing, and different digital platform values.

Transformative years @IHE.

Placements: Although the college claims to have a placement cell, nothing as such is provided by the college in the name of internship or placements. One has to find work for themselves. It does provide some kind of summer internship every year, but that reaches and helps only a handful of students.

Infrastructure: The college is pretty much in decent condition. Washrooms are clean, and the campus in general is very clean. The only issue is with the poor quality of food in the college canteen. The college also has a beautiful garden with a number of plants and flowers. It has a gym and a big library too.

Faculty: The faculty is a mix of great and mediocre professors. Some of them are really the teachers one needs in life and beyond. I was expecting the curriculum for the journalism course to be much more practical, but I guess it’s all theoretical here. The examination fee is very high though.

Other: The college has an annual fest called Feria, which is somewhat decent only. The movie network in the college is weak, but the Wi-Fi network covers up for it.

Honest truth about "IHE" University of Delhi.

Placements: I am currently in my 3rd year in Journalism. Placement in our college is quite poor; we have to search for the best suitable internships and upskill from outside. They will just mark you if you have done an internship on your own in the past. The college doesn't provide basic internship opportunities either. A few internships are given, but they are not useful because they require a graduate degree.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure is good but not great. Our college has a basic red-bricked building with 2 blocks, each having three floors, and has amenities like a basketball court, badminton court, amphitheater, foyer, canteen, a well-organized radio room, printing machines, a stationary shop, and a beautiful garden.

Faculty: Faculty members are helpful. Some of them are arrogant and rude, and they don't help students well. The teachers are average, but the guest lecturers are good in their research and teaching. Their teaching methods are good, and they are well aware of the news and updates from overseas. Exams have 3 modes: internals, practicals, and the board exam.

Other: Overall, the college is good but not worth the money because it has poor chairs and desks. The fees are much higher than those of other colleges for my course, yet they fail to provide us with basic amenities like projectors, cameras, microphones, or even benches or chairs.

Life of students from freshers to graduation.

Placements: In the Institute of Home Economics, various courses are offered, but the placement cell is still not great. Internships are advised and recommended by teachers, and they help students with the same. Roles offered in our course are varied, including podcasting, PR, teaching, journalism, and advice on communication strategies.

Infrastructure: Facilities are average, with an audio room and digital cameras. However, the college has a small campus with small rooms for studying. The hostel situation is worse because there is no hostel; Google shows fake reviews. These fake reviews make a fresher's life different and difficult to manage in a PG.

Faculty: The faculty of this particular course at the college has a mixture of good and bad teachers. Many professors are great, but some are not. Some professors, despite having much experience, are less effective in teaching and sharing their knowledge.

IHE, future of the nation.

Placements: IHE has a placement cell known as eminence. It hosts a placement fair every year where renowned companies come to hire students for internships and placements. The college also provides on-campus placements after completion of the course, followed by an interview screening procedure.

Infrastructure: IHE has a really good infrastructure as compared to the rest of the du colleges. It has one canteen, stationary shops, auditoriums, and huge grounds at the back. It even stands for events like music jamming and dance events. Classrooms have well-working fans and lights. 2 libraries are there with full seating arrangements and enough study material.

Faculty: The faculty is really supportive here. Most of the faculty even provide notes for their subjects. You can even reach out to them for other matters, despite academics. They are always up for help in academics, even after classes. Most of the teachers are experienced and professional in their respective fields.

Other: IHE has really good infrastructure, faculty and crowds. I chose this college as it is the top college at Du on the south campus. College also organizes many educational trips, and it conducts festivals, events and workshops occasionally. It also provides on-campus placements for most of its students. The HOD and other heads are supportive even outside the classroom setting.

I am not satisfied with this college because of its placements.

Placements: Companies won't visit our college to recruit students. Small television news channels visit our college to recruit students. Many students are working in different news channel fields like PR and advertising. Many students want to do anchoring in their future.

Infrastructure: Our college is Wi-Fi enabled. Its speed is slow. A media club is available along with a separate media department. Classrooms are well-maintained. They have proper charts, bulletin boards, and models for reference. The library is available in our college.

Faculty: Our teachers are helpful and experienced. They are well-qualified in their fields. They provide notes daily in either hard copy or soft copy format. Semester exams are not difficult if you prepare well. The highest CGPA scored is 9 CGPA.

Other: This course provides good knowledge. Many events and fests are held in our college. They organise many competitions.

Great faculty (teaching as well as non-teaching).

Placements: I am going to be really honest, the college itself doesn't provide any placements. I am in my 3rd (last) year and not once has a placement opportunity been given to us. But, the placement cell of IHE, EMINENCE (handled by the students only) holds internship & job fairs where recruiters visit the campus and take interviews.

Infrastructure: No hostel facilities are available. Bad network connection. Classrooms are big & spacious (can comfortably fit around 60 students at once). Conditions of washrooms is pretty average. TEACHERS are good. One thing I like about there. You may not like someone because of their personality sometimes, but every teacher is great in their own ways. We have a gym and pretty good sports facilities. Library present and has a variety of books on the courses available. Canteen is good. Great even if you're hungry.

Faculty: Teachers explain & complete the given syllabus and yes they are knowledgeable. The course curriculum set by the university is okayish as sometimes us students feel that the same topics are being repeated. Relating to journalism, the curriculum provides us with good theoretical & average practical knowledge of what a journalist needs to know. At the end field work provides the best experience. The course curriculum (except for some additional subjects) is very much relevant to the course. (ITS SUBJECTIVE) semester exams' difficulty level. For me it was average as I knew the answers. Maybe to some it may feel like easy or tough. Overall the questions were relevant with the topics we were taught. Pass percentage is around 35% (as far as I know).

Other: I did not choose journalism. My initial choice was mass comm but somehow I ended up here. The department provides equipment such as dslr cameras, an audio studio, laptops etc. Whenever needed or issued. Things to improve are: internship opportunities IN RELATIVE FIELDS. Events & fests are good here. Considering that it falls in the south campus and is not so famous, the footfall is great. One of the best location advantages: metro station being right across the road. Informative seminars & sessions are organised pretty frequently.
