Decent faculty members and curriculum, moderate placements, and good infrastructure.

Placements: I am from the English Literature batch. About 40% of students got placed. The highest package is 5 LPA. The lowest salary is 2 LPA. The average salary is 3.2 LPA. Top recruiters are Wipro, TCS, and Infosys. Around 35% of students got internships in NGOs, publishing, and content firms. Roles offered are content writers and editors.

Infrastructure: The department has well-maintained classrooms, a dedicated library section, good Wi-Fi, and access to smart boards for presentations. No hostel is available. Canteen serves hygienic food, medical room is active, and there are decent sports facilities.

Faculty: Faculty members are helpful, well-qualified, and teach with clarity. The curriculum is relevant with a good mixture of theory and application, though not fully industry-oriented. Semester exams are moderate in difficulty, with a pass percentage of around 85-90%.

I am happy overall, canteen food is great but not infrastructure.

Placements: No placements were offered from my course. But in some course, students were placed. Around 20% of students were placed. The maximum salary package offered is 4 LPA. It is a great college for decent opportunities if we are not looking for great placements. It is a good choice.

Infrastructure: There is no hostel facility available. But the college building is nice and clean. Classrooms are spacious but there are no particular classrooms for any course or subject. Teachers teach in any classroom that is available at the moment and inform about this on WhatsApp group so some students miss the class. There is two-floor library but not very big or clean. There is no Wi-Fi available anywhere and also no security at this college.

Faculty: Faculty members are always helpful. But there is very little attention given to studies and students are never asked if they miss classes or even exams. Teachers are knowledgeable but will teach only if the student is interested. Exams are very easy. The pass percentage is also high.

Other: It is a great option I think because it comes under University of Delhi which is a prestigious name. Also, the events and experience include the exposure.

Really a good college which has a good campus and faculty members.

Placements: There are a total of more than 150 students in BA (Hons.) English, which are divided into two sections, and there are various opportunities for students to get the internship, and out of 150, 93 or 94 students got internships, which is a large number. There are various roles offered in the course, like digital marketing, copywriting, journalism, translation, publishing, law, teaching, HR executive, mass communication, scriptwriting, etc.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure for the whole college is the same, where it provides Wi-Fi, 2 libraries, and labs for different purposes. Along with this, all classrooms are well furnished. There's no hostel facility in the college, but there are various PGs within 1 km of the college for 4k-5k per month.

Faculty: Teachers are excellent in their respective subjects; along with this, they have knowledge of other fields also, which they share with students. The teachers not only teach about books but also about how to be a good human, how to live life, etc. The semester exams are held in two parts, and it's not too difficult to get passed in the examination.

Other: The course B.A. (Hons.) English is not only for getting jobs or getting settled in life, but it teaches us our literature and knowledge about our culture; also, it develops communication skills, and overall, it's a very nice course to be chosen.

Partially satisfied with my experience.

Placements: There were no placements for B.A. English course in our college. Although, they were good for commerce students. There was no internship offered, but there was an exchange programme offered for 1 month in Finland. The process for selection was not good, as the whole class didn't get aware about it and the decision was made internal.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure is average for a DU college. The new building is nicely built with enough facilities available like there is a proper ventilation in the classrooms with fans working which is lacking in the old building. There is no hostel available. The canteen has good food at affordable prices.

Faculty: Faculty overall, was nice. Some of them were not. The faculty of Romantic literature used to just read from the books and dictate us notes. The teacher of Paradise lost was great, she reference well from the background. The curriculum is fine for the students pursuing higher studies, otherwise, it's not. The exam are easy to pass, if you study well throughout the year.

Other: I chose this course because I had interests in books. The best thing about the course is you get to know history with literature perspective.
