Studied Master of Arts at Presidency University, Kolkata

If Presidency University Kolkata is your dream college then you must have a solid academic record. Your board exam marks matter a lot. But entrance exam scores will be highly emphasized.

You will be asked about the recent developments in the field along with the questions related to class 11th and 12th. Go through R.G Collingwood, Ideas of history, and Glean information from graduate-level books like R.S Sharma, Sumit Sarkar, and Shekar Banerjee.

Having knowledge of post-modern theories like subaltern, queer theory, and genocide concepts will come in handy. Be up-to-date with all these concepts. Another key factor here is your English language skills. You are supposed to write the paper in English. Be careful of what you write and try to make it as thoughtful and transparent as possible. Try to be on point and avoid making convoluted sentences.

If you check all the above-mentioned factors, it's almost certain that you will get into Presidency University Kolkata.

It will depend on the cut-off marks as set up by the college. It differs from year to year. If you score above 85 your chances of getting selected in the first round will be easier.

Which college should I choose for History (hons) Dyal Singh College or Delhi College of Arts and Commerce?

SA
Swati Arora, Posted On : November 25th, 2021
B.A (H) Economics, Delhi College of Arts and Commerce (2017)

It is suggested that you go for Delhi College of Arts and Commerce (DCAC) rather than Dyal Singh College (DSC).

Here are some reasons why:

  • If you want a college with better infrastructure and canteen opt for DSC. 
  • On the other hand DCAC provides excellent Extra-curricular activities, societies, clubs, placements and overall exposure.
  • The faculty of both the colleges are good. DSC is better in B.A subjects but not economics.
  • DCAC has better connectivity. It is near to metro stations on the yellow line and pink line. Whereas DSC is only close to JLN stadium metro station on the violet line.
  • Neither of the two colleges offer hostel facilities. 
  • But it is easier to find accommodation near DCAC than to DSC.
  • Accommodation near DCAC is also affordable.

Therefore overall DCAC is a much better choice. But in the end it depends on individual preference. Try visiting both the colleges, explore, talk to the alumni or faculty members, if possible and then take the decision.
