Gargi College, affiliated with the University of Delhi, offers an accessible and affordable education, with annual fees ranging from approximately ₹10,000 to ₹150,000. Admission requires an application form, 10th and 12th-grade marksheets, a character certificate, and a migration certificate if applicable. The curriculum aligns with DU guidelines, featuring seven subjects per semester and exams twice a year. Despite a supportive faculty, students need to engage in self-study to excel. Practical groups of 15 students in the first year and small class sizes allow for personalized feedback. However, not all teachers are equally effective. The Applied Psychology department has increased its batch size, with core courses taught by two professors. Placement services are limited, particularly for psychology students, who often pursue further studies for better career prospects. Psychology placements offer starting salaries of ₹20,000-₹35,000 monthly, while commerce students have better opportunities, with companies like Deloitte offering the highest package of 25 LPA and an average of 2-3 LPA. Internships, mainly in sales and commerce, are available, but psychology-specific options are scarce, except for a one-week internship at IBHAS. Scholarships are available for students from economically weaker backgrounds, with eligibility for those with a parental income of ₹4 lakh or less. One student reported receiving a scholarship of ₹3,000. Fees include first-year costs around ₹11,000, increasing annually, and exam fees of ₹1,200 per semester, with additional department funds between ₹500 and ₹2,000. Although the college does not offer specific scholarships, merit-based scholarships are available based on yearly results. The absence of a hostel may lead to higher accommodation expenses for outstation students.
