DU: 11 Answered Questions

Which colleges in du offer bcom hons without math.

Every college at Delhi University offers B.Com (Hons) without including math in your best four, despite the fact that math should be a subject in your 12th grade.

It is to take into account that to be admitted to an undergraduate course that requires a specific subject or a group of subjects, candidates must have passed the subject/each of the subjects individually.

What are DU college timings?

Delhi University has many colleges, and each college has its own schedule, but some of the things are consistent. It also depends on whether you were admitted to a morning or evening college.

The timings of morning colleges are - 8:30, 9:00, 9:30, and 10:00 AM

They usually end at - 12:30, 1:00, 1:30, 2:00, 2:30, 3:00, 3:30 PM.

It entirely depends on the scheduled college timing of each course. Some practical classes go on till 5 in the evening, as well. Timing is longer in colleges that only offer morning classes and do not offer evening classes. 

Evening college classes begin at 1:00 PM, 1:30 PM, or 2:00 PM till 7.30 - 40 PM in the evening. 

However, Saturday is unpredictable as few semesters conduct classes on Saturdays, as well and in some semesters, there are no classes on Saturdays. 

Are DU college fees really cheap?

There would have been no disagreement if it was stated that "excluding 1 college" DU's fee is considerably less after scrolling through the majority of the answers. On average, the North Campus colleges charge annual fees between 14 and 19 thousand a month, with the exception of St. Stephen's, which charges between 40 and 50 thousand a month. In contrast, this charge is considered too expensive for a college that is 90% or more government-funded. While a hostel student at Hindu or Miranda will need to budget 60–70k per year, attending Stephen's would cost you an astounding INR 1.4–1.6 lakhs per year (Note: it is called a residence, not a hostel in Stephen's). 

This overpriced fee is exploitation, but once a student is enrolled in this college, they will actually understand the distinction between a residence and a hostel. However, the cost, which is practically online with a private college, is definitely unexpected.

The main cause of this is because the college only admits 300–400 students per academic year, totalling 1.2k students throughout all years and courses, hence the UGC funding to the college is proportionately lower. One can understand the kind of contrast it shows, both in fee collecting and the caliber of students, compared to other colleges with a crowd of 5–6k students.

What is the scope of the BA programme from DU?

The B.A Programme is a well-known course at Delhi University. This course allows you to study a variety of subjects and is typically chosen by students who are undecided about their career paths. The B.A. programme includes courses in English, Hindi, Political Science, Economics, and History. 

Here are some possible career paths: 

After completing a B.A. programme, the majority of students pursue postgraduate studies in fields such as B.Ed. or M.A. There are numerous options available after earning an M.A. in Education. Candidates who complete this course are qualified for PGT positions, and elementary and secondary principalships in both private and public schools. Candidates who pass the NET/SET in education are also eligible for university-level teaching jobs in both private and public institutions. A B.Ed. degree, on the other hand, can only lead to a job as a teacher in a government or private school.

Another postgraduate degree pursued by students is an MBA. MBA programmes can lead to positions in private and public financial institutions.

Students who have completed their graduation are eligible to apply for civil service examinations as well as Bank PO exams.

You can apply for positions in the Union Public Service Communication such as IPS, IAS, IFS, and Indian Defense Service. Before deciding on a career path, consider your strengths (aptitude) and interests. Choose potential career paths based on your aptitude, interests, and personality characteristics. Going into journalism or fashion design without interest or passion in them, for example, will not get you very far.

What are courses in DU for commerce without Math?

In DU, you can pursue several No Honors courses that don’t require Math like Bcom, BBA, BA, and many other courses. BCom and BBA are the best options for those who don’t want Maths. DU acceptance rate is low so you will have to score good marks to qualify for the high cutoffs.

Here are a few courses offered at DU for commerce students without Maths

• B.COM or B.COM (H)
• B.B.I. (Bachelor’s Degree in Banking and Insurance)
• B.F.M. (Bachelor’s Degree in Financial Markets)
• B.M.S. (Bachelor’s Degree in Management Science)
• B.M.M. (Bachelor’s Degree in Mass Media & Communication)
• B.J.M. C. ( Bachelor of Journalism and Mass Communication )

Additionally, you can go do the following professional courses too

Hope it helped you!

Which is better for UPSC CSE PREPARATION BA or BA Hons in political science from DU?

BA and BA Honors are both excellent choices for UPSC CSE. It will aid you in your preparation for the Prelims and Main exams.

In BA course, you must study three different subjects, such as political science, history, and geography, which means that 50% of the syllabus has already been covered, and if you choose Political Science as an optional subject, another 40% has already been covered. So taking a BA course will improve your chances. 

Now, moving on to the BA (Hons), you will study political science in depth, which will help you in the Mains because, as we all know, the difficulty level of optional is higher than the Bachelor level but lower than the Master's level, so it will benefit you greatly. However, because you will only be studying two subjects in your bachelor's programme, you will have to study the third subject on your own.

Thus, you should pursue a BA General course. However, as everyone knows, UPSC is all about extreme hard work, luck, proper planning, guidance, and several other factors. Make your own decision and put in your best effort.

Because Psychology is the most sought-after course at DU, the bar is set fairly high.

Is an MBA from DU worth it?

An MBA from FMS at DU has the same reputation as an MBA from any IIM. You will be surprised to learn that students frequently leave IIM for FMS due to its extremely low fee structure.

The Faculty of Management Studies at Delhi University also offers a two-year MBA programme. The college emphasizes practical learning by hosting workshops and internship programmes on a regular basis. FMS Delhi placement ended on a mixed note, with 100% of students receiving job offers. The average salary package was 23.20 LPA, but the highest package dropped from 54 LPA to 48 LPA. 

From a batch size of 216, 198 students participated in the process, with the remaining 18 opting out. The most notable achievement for the FMS placement 2019 was an increase in the average salary for female students, which increased to 25.10 LPA from 22.6 LPA previously.

DU FMS MBA programmes are among the best in India, with high educational standards and high returns on investment.

What should I do after doing math honors from DU?

In general, a BSc (Hons) in Math is a good course that leads to a variety of career opportunities, including - 

Masters: After completing a BSc Hons in Mathematics, one can pursue a MSc in Mathematics, Statistics, Operational Research, Pure Mathematics, Applied Mathematics, Mathematics and Computing, or Mathematics and Computing. Some prestigious institutes that offer MSc in Mathematics include IITs, IISER, IISc Bangalore, Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, University of Hyderabad, and Chennai Mathematical Institute

MBA: Following a BSc Hons in Math, an MBA is a good option for starting your career.

Actuarial Science: If you want a job right after graduation, pursuing and passing at least three actuarial science exams will get you a good job.

MCA / CODING: The IT industry is one of the fastest growing in INDIA, with many job opportunities available after a BSc Hons in Math. You can pursue IT jobs if you know a little coding, or you can pursue MCA, for which you will have to give NIMCET exams.

Teaching: After completing your BSc Hons, you can pursue a career in education by taking the B.ED or, if you want to be a professor or lecturer, the JRF or NET exam.

There are various other scopes available for students. They can also pursue a career in Research, go for Government Jobs (SSC), DRDO, ISRO, and so on.

Is a BA programme a good course if I do it from DU?

BA at DU can be BA (Program), BA (Hons), and in Honors, you can take the specialization course in Economics, Political Science, History, English, Hindi, Geography, and so on.

Furthermore, if you expect to get a higher percentage in BA courses, you are mistaken. Students at Delhi University typically receive very low grades. The average score is between 51 and 58%. It would not surprise me if someone became a University topper with only 58% of the marks.

So, just for the DU brand, choose the BA program and if you want to work in the civil service, you're on the right track.

MPP or MPA: Which program is right for you?

By Katie Kelsall, Assistant Director of Admissions and Financial Aid

Harvard Kennedy School offers four master’s degree programs for students interested in fulfilling our mission to improve public policy and leadership so people can live in societies that are more safe, free, just, and sustainably prosperous. 

• Master in Public Policy (MPP)
• Master in Public Administration in International Development (MPA/ID)
• Master in Public Administration (MPA)
• Mid-Career Master in Public Administration (MC/MPA) 

It is often easy for prospective students to determine whether the MC/MPA or MPA/ID aligns well with their interests and backgrounds, but differentiating between the MPP and MPA can be more complicated. When meeting with prospective students, we are often asked, “What is the difference between an MPP and an MPA? Why should I choose one over the other?”

While both programs are valuable for anyone interested in a career public service, there are several key differences. When comparing our MPP and MPA Programs, prospective students should keep the following components in mind.

Admissions Criteria & Prerequisites 

Both the MPA and MPP Programs require students to have a bachelor’s degree with a strong academic background. 

Students may apply to the MPP without work experience or graduate-level coursework. 

Conversely, students must fulfill additional degree program prerequisites to be eligible for admission to the MPA Program. These prerequisites include three years of professional work experience and at least four graduate-level courses similar to those in the MPP core curriculum . In fact, many MPA students come in with another graduate degree such as an MBA or as concurrent degree students . Given the MPA Program’s flexible curriculum (covered more in the next section), we want to ensure that students entering the program are prepared to succeed in a rigorous academic environment from day one.

Curriculum 

The MPP Program has a structured core curriculum designed to develop students’ skills in economics, financial management, policy design and delivery, quantitative analysis, and more. This core curriculum equips students to analyze complex public problems and craft concrete policy solutions.  

On the other hand, the MPA curriculum is much more flexible, allowing students to focus on their policy interests from the beginning of their graduate program. MPA students often take courses focused on leadership and management, though MPA students can choose from a range of disciplines and study under virtually any HKS faculty member .  

Career Outcomes 

There is some similarity in the roles that MPP and MPA graduates secure after graduation, but there are a few areas of differentiation. 

The majority of MPPs apply their core training, policy interests, and functional skills to roles and organizations in the public and nonprofit sectors following graduation. MPP graduates are equipped to analyze public problems and craft concrete policy solutions—you’ll see from the list of common job titles in the chart below that many MPP graduates take on jobs focused on policy analysis. 

Because MPA students are required to have work experience prior to enrolling, many MPA graduates secure significant leadership roles after graduating. In general, more MPA graduates enter the private sector due to the program’s many concurrent degree students. Many MPA graduates are also social entrepreneurs—in the Class of 2023, 11 MPA graduates started their own ventures after graduation. 

At a Glance: Comparing the MPP and MPA Programs

Ultimately, the decision to pursue an MPP or MPA depends on your personal background, preferences, and goals. Prospective applicants should be aware that it is only possible to apply to one master’s program per application cycle, so determining the right program for you is important from the beginning of the application process.
