How good is the Geology department at Hansraj College for UG?
One of my friends studied at Hansraj College. According to him, the Geology department is not up to the mark. Here’s mentioning some things that proved to be a disappointment for the students.
- The placements are underwhelming. No reputed organization ever recruits students from this department.
- The classes are irregular and no discipline or decorum is maintained.
- Since it has the curriculum standards of DU, students are put under a lot of pressure to mug up elaborate theories.
- The practical classes are uninteresting, basically because it is not much focussed on.
- Classes of B.Sc. Geology is held outside the main campus where students tend to feel alienated from others.
- They have very little exposure hence less placements.
- Lastly, there is no geology society, where you can learn specific things about the course, get in-hand training, etc.
Therefore, if you want to do B.Sc. then opt for some other subject or you can do a BA or B.Com. from DU as they will provide better scope than Geology.
