B.A. (Hons.) in French - Batch of 2026

Overall, it's good for people who want to explore a new language.

Placements: I am currently pursuing French (H), and honestly, there is a lot of competition in French. Every year, mostly 2-3 students get a good LPA. Like last year, one of my seniors got placement in Amazon with a good LPA. You can even go for an M.A. after your graduation from Sam's College.

Infrastructure: My college is one of the oldest buildings in DU. Though the infrastructure is currently improving day by day, some classes are still below average. My college doesn't provide any hostel, and Wi-Fi is still not available. There is also a lot of network issue.

Faculty: Teachers are very qualified, and we even have a proper French teacher who is not from India for tuts. Though semester exams are difficult, and most importantly, the listening and speaking parts are very difficult, you have to be very attentive in your 1st year to clear your basics.

Other: I opted for French because I love exploring new languages, and this course provides me great opportunities to improve my CV for jobs and for my further studies. I wished to have more activities in this course. The college crowd is average, but for the fest in my course, we have Francophonie Day, which is a 2-day event. On the first day, we have Traditional Day, and on the 2nd day, we have an event in which people participate in dance, singing, cooking, poster-making, poetry, etc. But everything is related to French culture.

Best faculty to learn French language from Delhi University.

Infrastructure: Facilities like, classrooms, Wi-Fi, library are available. The department has the biggest library in Delhi University. Classrooms are well furnished. The rooms are bright. Only the washrooms should be kept more cleaner. The department is not too big to conduct fest, but there are many small programs like francophonie day.

Faculty: The teachers are well qualified, helpful and knowledgeable. Faculty members have done their M.A. or Ph.D. from France or Delhi University only. Term exams are quite easy and usually are held after 5 months. This course is budget friendly. Scholarships facilitates are not provided.

Other: I chose this course, because I love French language as well as this language has a great importance in the I. T sector especially companies that trade with france. The salary package for freshers is also quite good. The crowd is fine, professor's are helpful, and most important that you make good friends.

Our college provides B.A. hons in French.

Placements: Few of our seniors got placement and few went for higher studies. The highest salary package offered is 8 LPA, the average salary package is 4-5 LPA, and the lowest salary package is 3.5 LPA. Amazon is the top recruiter. Internships are not available. Most of the students went for social work or digital marketing and some students found through Internshala. Financial risk management is the role offered in Amazon and some people go for teaching or a translator.

Infrastructure: Hostels are not available for our department. Wi-Fi doesn't work on the campus. Classrooms are well built and good during summers, it is not that hot. There is a library. We have a canteen which is not that good as there are not good options but good food is available.

Faculty: Teachers are well qualified and knowledgeable, recently there was a shortage in faculty for German students. They help in studies and for future endeavors as well. Learning a foreign language is necessary these days so the course is very much relevant in today's time. Students can learn B1 level in french during the course so it prepares them for upcoming challenges. Semester exams are hard. The pass percentage is 33%. Half of the percentage gets from internals only, so you don't have to worry.

Other: I chose this course as I am a keen learner of languages and have plenty of range to learn like German, Arabic, Sanskrit, Italian, Portuguese, and Hindi. There would be more audio-visual rooms but still, it works. There are no fests, but the student can get entry to all the fests. Connectivity is good as auto-rickshaws are running every day from the metro.

A review by a student of foreign language course from the Delhi University.

Placements: In my department, we have 25-30% of placements. And, I believe it's well and good because it is a language course and it all depends on the fluency. Amazon came to recruit, and from my course, 10 students got selected, and the package is quite well.

Infrastructure: We have a good infrastructure in our department. Wi-Fi gives good speed. We have a very clean library with 1000s of books. It included books of each and every language. Worth reading. It not only has educational but also comics, magazines, etc. And, we have a beautiful garden which is worth seeing, and sitting there and studying is the best part.

Faculty: The faculty are awesome. The professors have a lot of knowledge. Their teaching techniques are very good. The course curriculum is very properly chosen, it covers each and every field of our language. The subjects which we can have jobs in are all included in our curriculum.

Your college life depends on your friend circle.

Placements: Placements in my college has always been an interesting topic of our group. Every year, around five to six multinational companies come to our college. They seek students with not only better grades but with more overall knowledge that is very important for any student.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure of my college is pretty fine. Well, there are no overall air-conditioned classes in our department, but some of our classes do have air conditioning. And by the way, there is no need for air conditioning that much in our college. We really like our classes like this.

Faculty: The help of teachers is really valuable in terms of giving exams. The only better thing is our professors. We really do like going to college and attending all the classes because of the friendly environment created by our professors. I really enjoy spending time with them.

Other: I really wanted to learn a foreign language, and I find this the best possible way to learn and have fun.

Review of Department of Germanic and Romance Studies, University of Delhi.

Placements: Not many companies visit GRS Department for placements. Some major companies which visit here are TCS and Amazon. Amazon is the main recruiter and hires 10-15 students every year from respective languages. I was lucky enough to get placed in Amazon, and the salary package offered here is always attractive.

Infrastructure: Department of GRS is a perfect example of the architectural beauty of Delhi University. Every year flowers grown in spring season makes it one of the most mesmerizing colleges in North Campus. I have been a witness of trees laden with yellow flowers. We don't have any computer rooms, but Delhi University provides free laptops to every student which suffices.

Faculty: There are some of the best linguistics teachers from all over the globe with one vision of making every student excel in respective languages. The course curriculum has not changed from the last 10-15 years, but it hardly affects your study of language. As I am a francophone student, our primary aim was to speak and understand French, which we achieved here.
