Which is India's top university, Delhi University or JNU?

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.

How was your first day in DU?

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.

How do I convert SGPA to percentage under the new CBCS rules at DU?

There has been considerable confusion in Delhi Universitys 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 students 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.

Is it possible to get more than 70% marks in DU SOL?

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 brothers 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.

What are the differences between NCWEB and SOL offered by DU Do they have different exams or the same?

NCWEB stands for ‘Non-Collegiate Womens Education Board’ where only women can take admission to the University of Delhi. The classes are held only on Sundays. You need to be from Delhi or have to complete your higher secondary from a school that is in Delhi. SOL, on the other hand, stands for ‘School of Open Learning’ whose syllabus is offered by the NCWEB. Both women and men can take admission here. The exams are conducted on different dates. The syllabus of SOL and NCWEB are the same. NCWEB will give you singing and dancing opportunities and also in other areas. It offers two undergraduate courses like B.A Program and B.Com. For SOL, the students are offered courses like B.Com, B.Com (Hons.), B.A. (Hons.), M.A., and other courses in the streams of Arts and Commerce.

How one can prepare for UPSC while studying in Delhi University?

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.

How do I get transcripts from Delhi university?

You can get your transcripts from the North campus of the university. Visit the Examination Branch, New administrative block with the following documents: Copy of all marksheets Copy of degree DU Transcript Application Form Handwritten and Signed Authorization letter (if someone else is submitting on your behalf) ID Proof Fee Receipt WES Academic Request Form 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.

Can Physical Education be included in the calculation of percentage of Best Four Subjects in Delhi University for B.A programming?

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.

Do we get migration certificate in Delhi University?

Yes, you get your migration certificate after the completion of your degree. But colleges don’t provide you with it. Right after completion, colleges only give you your: Character Certificate Provisional Certificate The final degree certificate is handed over after around 1-2 years. To get your Migration Certificate, you are required to fill out a form. This form can be obtained from your college or from V.C. Office. Get it attested by your college and submit it to the examination department of Delhi University. Duration: 1 week Fees: INR 500 Note- students at the South campus are to apply for a migration certificate at the D.U’s examination department in the South campus. The rest have to apply at the examination dept. at the V.C office on the North campus.

Is it possible to have a migration from DU SOL to DU regular on the basis of your first year percentage?

DU SOL follows an annual system while the other colleges under Delhi University follow a semester system. Therefore, there is no possible migration in between the courses. At DU, the semester system for UG courses was introduced back in 2011. Which made it difficult for DU SOL students to seek migration in the second or third year of their courses in regular college.
