There is a stark difference between both universities in terms of culture as well as fees. JNU or Jawaharlal Nehru University is mostly about expression, literature, culture, research, and building intellectual facilities whereas DU is all about glamor, fashion, fests, high cutoffs, and placements.
In financial terms, JNU is much more affordable than DU. Be it course fees or hostel fees, JNU cuts down on expenses a lot.
JNU is learning for life, whereas DU focuses on learning the bare essentials and getting placed in a reputed firm.
One more significant difference to consider is that JNU is more about post-graduation whereas DU focuses more on graduation. The difference in intellectual level stems from the same reason.
If you are still confused between the two, spend equal time on both campuses and you will get the answer soon.
You can get your transcripts from the North campus of the university. Visit the Examination Branch, New administrative block with the following documents:
After proper evaluation, they will submit the form and you will be asked to come back after 15-20 days. Importantly, you should again carry the mentioned documents to collect the transcript. Proper verification will be done and they will hand the transcript in a sealed envelope.
Delhi University is a highly prestigious institute offering premium education to its students. Every student completing his or her studies from here is awarded a degree certificate. This certificate is issued by the university and is an official recognition of the student’s educational qualification.
However, it's crucial that a student procures his/her original degree certificate from the university as it plays a big role in the admission process of higher studies as well as jobs and other opportunities.
The availability of this degree depends on the course and the duration of the course.UG students usually receive their original degree certificate within 3 months of the completion of the course.
You can check the same by going to SOL and ask someone from their administration department. Sometimes it may take a year or more to get the original degree from Delhi University.
Yes, physical education can be included while calculating your best four for Delhi University but it has a disadvantage of 2.5%.
This means that 2.5% will be deducted from the total percentage of your best four subjects. This calculation of the best four is different for every course and very few colleges have a different method of selecting the best four and that is also limited to some special courses.
Apart from this, all the colleges have a similar procedure for the best four calculations. Delhi University releases an admission bulletin every year and you can consult it for better understanding.
One of the students of DU shared her experience by explaining that the orientation day was the first day of lectures. When everyone arrived in the designated room, their faculty was there to greet them. She witnessed a lot of strange faces. Fortunately, she had her roommate to chat with because she was also a classmate. Lecturers treated them extremely well. Then everyone began introducing themselves.
The first person to start was their HOD. Her remarks brightened their day. They were on edge because of how seriously she began but gradually calmed them down with her humble words. She shared her beliefs with us and gave them a verbal tour of the campus. She then requested an introduction from each of the students. At the end of the orientation, she wished them luck.
The rest of the day was spent lying in bed, talking on the phone, and doing nothing. After three weeks, proper classes began. By the fifth week, the books had been recommended. DU released the date sheet just as the students finished one chapter. It was a completely new experience for her, but it was well worth it, as she says it.
There has been considerable confusion in Delhi University's grading system for a long time. The university proposed multiple adjustments before a proper method was finally implemented and made public. The SGPA calculator is used in the educational field to translate SGPA to percentage. The calculations are based on the student's overall performance on the corresponding semester exam in general courses.
To convert SGPA into a percentage, the following steps are being followed by the students:
The SGPA for each semester should be determined first.
Adding the semester-by-semester averages once you get them.
Subtracting the number of semesters you have taught from the total of the SGPAs.
Finally, calculate your SGPA by multiplying it by 10, then take 7.5 out of the result.
The CBCS System used at DU is Relative Grading rather than Absolute Grading.
Yes, it’s very much possible to attain more than 70% marks in DU SOL. My brother was lucky enough to score 71.1% in his second year of B.Com.(Hons). He mentioned a few simple strategies that helped him get good marks.
Set your target: The very first step has to be to fix a target. In my brother's case, he set his target at 75%.
Knowing your strengths and weaknesses: Focus more on the subjects you are well versed in. Compensate the marks you will lose in the subjects you are below average at with the marks you will get in subjects you are good at.
Attempt the paper well: When I say attempt the paper well, I also mean make it presentable. Neat handwriting and diagrams never go unnoticed.
Additional guidance: Getting tuition for subjects you are weak at is better than mugging up the concept. These classes are available near North and South Campus.
Consistency is the key: Leaving the entire syllabus for a few days before the exams is not a good option. Study regularly, even if for just a few hours. You will see amazing results.
Adopting all these strategies, my brother got 71.1%. So I don’t think it’s difficult to score above 70% in DU SOL.
In order to determine the differences between NCWEB and SOL, let’s discuss the institutes on a one-to-one basis.
SOL (School of Open Learning)
NCWEB
Hope I made it clear!
With the presence of like-minded people, Delhi University offers the best exposure on campus. You will be interacting with experts from various fields and you should make the most of it.
It is important to keep yourself updated with current affairs. Do not bulk things up and start studying on a daily basis. You can focus fully on UPSC preparation as DU gives less attention to attendance.
The syllabus for UPSC requires a basic knowledge of topics from History, Economics, Political Science, Environmental Science. For this, the best suitable program will be BA Programme to study at DU.
If you have enrolled in any other subject, then you should start studying topics from NCERT and current affairs. Apart from this, joining a coaching institute will always be an option but self-study is more important.
The life of a PG resident of Delhi University colleges like MAMC, LHMC, and UCMS depends on the steam they belong to. For instance, LHMC OB-GYN and Paediatrics have the highest workload while the rest of the streams have relatively lesser workload.
Almost every stream has an equally high workload in MAMC be it Medicine, Surgery, Gyn, or Paediatrics. The heavy workload teaches the students to push their limits to achieve their goals. It trains them better and also imparts knowledge. Most MAMC graduates can handle any case confidently which even some consultants with an experience of more than 20 years find difficult to manage. UCMS on the other hand offers a moderate workload for all streams.
So, choosing MAMC will give you an all-rounded experience where you will gain maximum knowledge and experience. LHMC is a great choice if you are specifically interested in OB-GYN or Paediatrics only.
