At Delhi University, Environmental Studies is an AECC subject and compulsory for the first semester. The examination is not that tough. The question asked are related to the curriculum and the syllabus taught by the teachers. But students usually do not take these classes seriously. That’s why many times students find the examination difficult. If you follow the classes seriously, you can easily answer the questions.

DU indeed is a spectacular university and is rightfully famous for its infrastructure, curriculum, and everything in general. But several things are a bit overrated like:

1. Faculty: Despite many brilliant professors here, the faculty members are not much interested in teaching. Either they don’t have enough knowledge or don’t want to teach. That’s why students at DU have to resort to self-study.
2. Infrastructure: The infrastructure of most of the colleges at DU is terrible. The buildings are in bad condition. The computer facilities are very lacking and Wi-Fi does not work in many places. Although some colleges are well-equipped.
3. Hostels: The hostels of the colleges at DU have unreasonable rules that you will have to follow. One of them is the 7:30 pm rule. They are not allowed to install coolers even during days of extreme heat.
4. Curriculum: The curriculum is completely theory-based and does not include much practical knowledge. Just after a few days of rote learning, you will be able to score fairly well.
5. Fest: The fest culture is all a bit too overrated. There is too much glamour and a waste of time.
6. Job opportunities: Students at DU face major challenges when it comes to placements. This is because reputed firms only visit top colleges like St. Stephens' and SRCC making it difficult for an average student. You need to have brilliant scores with a record of extracurricular activities to get placed. Or you have to opt for higher studies.

Despite its flaws, Delhi University is indeed one of a kind. The crowd here is versatile and you get to meet people from everywhere. The variety of extracurricular activities, clubs, and societies of DU will surely make your stay here. The colleges at DU have a lot to give, just be with the right people.

Delhi University is the most sought-after institute by students of graduation and postgraduation. Even though clearing cutoffs and securing a seat at DU is extremely challenging, certain colleges at Delhi University have failed to secure a favorable student opinion, either due to poor infrastructure, negligent faculty/ administration, or simply because of the poor neighborhood.

Some of these colleges, as suggested by a few friends of mine, are-

• Ramanujan College, Kalkaji: Poor infrastructure in terms of classrooms and especially, the canteen area
• Shaheed Rajguru College of Applied Sciences for Women
• Acharya Narendra Dev College, Kalkaji: Poor infrastructure, poor canteen facilities, poor washroom facility. Not a pleasant neighborhood. Lab facilities are below par and equipments are very old. However, the teachers are very supportive. The admin section is not very helpful and supportive towards the students
• Satyawati College
• Some other colleges include- Shyam Lal College, Shri Aurobindo College, Deshbandhu College, PGDAV, Zakir Husain Delhi College, JDMC, Bharti College, Dr. Bhim Rao Ambedkar College, and Aryabhatta College

This list is subjective and some of the people have even been graduated 5 or 6 years ago. Colleges at DU undergo constant improvements in terms of administration, infrastructure, academics, and so on. It depends also upon individual taste as to which college one finds good or bad.
