Satisfied with the department and faculty. Professors are the best and opportunities are great.
Placements: Various students from the department of linguistics were placed at reputed locations and companies. Most of our seniors and classmates have qualified JRF/NET, and many of them are serving at the British Council and Macmillan. Some of them are working in news channels and media agencies, while some are IELTS trainers as well. A few are working in Central Institute of Indian Languages involving in research activities. I have completed my training from CIIL in translation studies and would like to see my future in book publishing as a proofreader and translator.
Infrastructure: Our department has all the facilities like air-conditioned classrooms, projectors, department library, Wi-Fi, digital whiteboard and many others. We have medical facilities, and there are lab sessions conducted for psycholinguistics, sociolinguistics, and neurolinguistics. The canteen serves us really nice food. The food offered is of high quality, and the price is very low. The hostel is the best. Everything is just perfect if we talk about DU, be it education, exploration or infrastructure. They provide all the facilities throughout our course.
Faculty: Teachers in the college are very much qualified, and all of them have completed their PhDs from abroad. The quality of teaching is the best. Teachers use handouts and projectors for interactive sessions. We have various seminars and fieldwork sessions to learn while having fun. I got to learn a lot from DU and especially our department, and that helped me write a book and become an author. We have 52 seats, and all are filled.
Other: Various fests and events are conducted to facilitate talent and learning habits. The campus surroundings are beautiful. You won't feel like leaving the campus once you visit here. All the facilities are available here. Arts faculty department has a central library and is open 24x7.

Q:   How hard is it to get admission in Delhi University for an average student?
ShikshaGPT says
A: 

The admission process for Delhi University (DU) is extremely competitive, especially for the well known and popular courses and colleges. However, the difficulty level of admission varies depending on the programme a student wishes to get into. Some of the key parameters that define how difficult can be for a student to get into a good DU college with good course:

  • Scores in CUET/ Class 12
  • Category
  • Selection of College + Course combination in the CSAS registration process

Up until 2021, only top scorers of Class 12 were able to get into Hindu, Hansraj, Miranada, SRCC, LSR and other reputed colleges for top courses such as BA (Hons) in Economics/ English/ Political Science, BSc (Hons) Physics/ Chemistry/ Mathematics and BCom (Hons) courses. However, the introduction of CUET has changed the game. Now, even if a student could not do well in Class 12 has a chance of getting into the cream colleges with a good score in CUET.

However, if the dream is just to study in a reputed DU college, there is a basic hack that can be followed by anyone and everyone. All the top colleges of DU offer short-duration certificate courses in Languages and other interest areas. Those who are not able to get into DU can witness the buzz of being a DU student by pursuing these courses. For details on the same, students are advised to visit the official website of the DU affiliated colleges.
