Wishing outstation students happy admissions in Delhi University and exquisite stay in Delhi- An explicit guide

Will I be able to stand firmly in the capital city of India- Delhi? How will I accommodate myself in this dynamic city? I have heard of Delhi as fashion city, Is my style apt and acceptable? This time admission procedure of DU is amended- I am feeling stressed and overstretched. How will I be able to cope up with energetic Delhites?  I am not articulate in English, how will I communicate with DU professors? Delhi is already overcrowded; will I be able to find pertinent and affordable accommodation? I am an introvert, does Delhi University welcome introverts? I am not good at dancing and singing, will I‘ve to consider solitude in the blazing colours of Delhi? A vibrant and embracing hello to all the dear newcomers, some of or all of these questions must be unsettling you. Let’s address all of these obstinate doubts turn by turn.

Admissions- from mess to stressless

Admission procedure can create havoc of your day if you are oblivious to key information and salient criteria (both general and programme specific) released by the Delhi University. In order to be aware of latest guidelines put forth by varsity, the best and most pragmatic technique is to read the information bulletin thoroughly, uploaded on official website of DU every year. Information bulletin contains every information regarding admissions to colleges- its complete procedure (from applying online to finally submitting fee to college),  admission cancellation policies and information about sports, EWS and ECA quota. If you further have those admission related creepy doubts then DU has remarkable solution for you. DU holds very interactive and informative open day sessions (led by DU professors) for applicants all over India in its main campus (north campus), Delhi. So, dear candidates, broadly you have to carry printout of the application form (selecting college in which you aspire to be admitted), self attested Xeroxes (of original documents), important original documents, passport sized photographs and simply reach the college. Everything will be taken care by college and every further step will be executed by college itself, you just have to follow the instructions and yes, most vital is to reach the college on time or before time. Now, you must be wondering admission to chlo hojaega but what about new cancellation policy of DU? For DU, new cancellation policy allows one cancellation per each cut-off and total of (n-1) cancellations (considering university releases total of n cut-offs). How simple it is Na? Let us suppose, this year varsity releases 5 cut-offs, this implies each applicant can cancel his/ her admission 5 times in total and once per each cut-off. For whole admission process, you can easily find a hotel room in Delhi. Affordable and clean hotel rooms can comfortable be prearranged through online websites and mobile applications for yourself and your guardians. Just focus on admission, Delhi fervently receives its guests. Some of you may be doubtful of- Do colleges have enough seats left on the last day of cut-off? Information bulletin of DU clearly reveals that every applicant will be admitted to the course till the last day of that cut-off (proposed by any college). Therefore, don’t worry; if cut-off is released by a college then it is mandatory for that college to admit candidates till the last day and last minute of that cut-off. I am now anticipating your stress level going down. Be confident, if you are worthy of admission in DU, you will be vehemently welcomed by varsity.

With better awareness, you will have more knowledge, ultimately your actions will be well directed and admission will become stressless. Now, savour the admission process. 

Accommodation and Food

Overcrowded Delhi does not hamper its guests because of its dynamic nature. People entering and leaving Delhi’s border maintains a perfect equilibrium state thereby making Delhi anti guest resistant. Students who have completed their courses leave for their home states creating humongous vacancy of PGs again. Hence accommodation for students is never an impediment in Delhi. When you are in Delhi with your well wisher guardians during cut-offs, it is best to have a thorough look on PGs. PG should be picked preferring distance parameter over cost parameter. A PG room near to your college will save you from unnecessary time loss due to travelling and most predominantly vital energy loses.

Food quality is certainly a hiccup in PG life. Most PGs and tiffin services always serve you Parantha Pickle in breakfast, Rajma Chawal in lunch and Chapatti Sabji in dinner. Same food each day will not nourish you adequately. Food and its high quality nutrition are essential for you both mentally and physically. Never ever put food quality on stake because it will eventually put your physical and mental vigour on risk. Shrewdly choose your food, ask your food services to provide you with varied nutritional diets. You can also arrange good quality food from your college canteen and at least have your breakfast and lunch in college cafeteria.

Always remember as robin Sharma says “Good health is a crown on the head of a well person that only a sick person can see.”

Transportation

Delhi is extraordinary at its transportation facilities. Delhi Metro is an extraordinary element of the extraordinary transportation facilities of Delhi. DTC buses’ reach and frequency are also commendable. Delhi metro has its extensive connectivity nearly to every college of DU. DU also provides DTC bus passes to all the students enabling then whooping discount on bus rides.

Delhi’s transportation is student friendly and will not ever let you miss your substantial lectures.

Adventurous, Extracurricular and sporty DU

Every college of DU has multiple societies dedicated to varied disciplines. Societies include disciplines- dance, music,  business, management, fashion, writing, poetry, drama, film making, photography, art and many more. Sport is the prominent feature of DU. You can easily play volleyball, basketball, football. Cricket, table tennis, chess and many more sports in the varsity at intercollege, intracollege and inter university level. Colleges also hold competitions in numerous disciplines ranging from acting, dance, singing to sports at intercollege, intracollege and inter university level. They are not a bad deal if you are a prize and fame lover. Every student is warmly welcomed for participation.

DU says, “If you can’t speak then write. If you can’t write then speak. If you can’t do both then dance. If you can’t dance then sing. If you can’t do any of them then paint. If you can’t paint then draw. But do something. Do something which resonates with your nature, which excites you and which fills in you happiness.”

Based on your interest choose the best discipline out of numerous disciplines offered by the Delhi University.

Money will not be an issue

Lots of students find money shortage an impediment in their study journey. No problem pals, Delhi offers numerous options to earn a good amount. Companies offering internships, full time jobs, part time jobs and home based jobs are hundreds of thousands in number in Delhi. You can comfortably work with these companies. Tuition business has proliferated in recent years; you can also make your hands dirty with tuitions. Just determine what you can do, work on your skill and money will be ready for you in Delhi Private Limited.

Be aware. Choose wisely. 

This concept is applicable in all pursuits of your life. Be aware of all in which you are in and then tactically make choices. There are many students and groups in Delhi who are heavily indulged in intoxication. Now, it’s your choice whether to be a marijuana (ganja) smoker, grass (charas) smoker, alcohol (daaru) taker and cigarette (tobacco) smoker or a sagacious being. Choose wisely your group of friends before it’s too late. DU also sustains students who are very much substantial in superficial wellness. They dress well, apparel well, talk well and flaunt well but they do not have any good lofty dream of life to chase. Mediocrity is contagious and brutal so choose wisely. No need to fret, Delhi still respects and greets authenticity, talent, simplicity and skill. World demands people who are skilled and genuine. DU, Delhi and world still admire people who viscerally believe in simple living and high thinking.

Always remember that things which you now find easy were once difficult. Hence, Relish your exquisite tenure in Delhi. Wish you happy admissions and best time of your life in Delhi University and Delhi.
