Vivekananda College B.Com Review By Suhani Sharma

I got into this college through my CUET score. If your score is somewhere between 670-690 then you can expect to get this college in the first round with honors courses. It's a women's college situated in Vivek Vihar and the nearest metros of this college are - Jhilmil and Karkardooma but to reach metro station, you need to take an e-rickshaw every day.

In order to get admission in this college you have to clear the CUET exam as this is a Delhi University college. If you are interested in honors courses such as B.Com honors then you can expect the first cutoff to be around 670-690. Afterwards, during the second or third round the cutoffs gradually decrease. For the programme courses, you can expect the cutoff to be around 640-650 in the first round. Also, there are various courses that are offered in this college such as B.Com (hons.), B.Com programme, Food Technology, BA Honours, BA Programme, Math (hons.), etc. Check the eligibility criteria to be fulfilled in the CUET exam and appear in those subjects for the course you want to pursue in future.

Faculties are a bit satisfactory and every one of them is a Postgraduate or a Ph.D holder. They are nice overall but if you want to solely focus on academics then you have to give most of the effort from your side. Also maintain good attendance in every subject.

Our Placement Cell name is Arise - the Placement Cell. They are really nice. You can expect an internship offer every month through them. Also, they fetch placements for third year students. The package generally revolves around 4 LPA -5 LPA. Sometimes it reaches up to 8 LPA but for B.Com students you might not find the desirable roles which align with your field every time. If you wish to sit in placements then you definitely can. Also, they organise speaker sessions many times to guide students for their future career paths. Those sessions are really helpful.

Yes, there is a hostel inside the college. But it has been closed for a long time. So, students who come from different states to study here usually get PG or flat.

The infrastructure is really nice. You will definitely like it here. The gardens are so beautiful, very well maintained and overall looks picturesque. Also, they have crafted wooden benches with different shapes which give a great look to the garden. The building is also really nice. Cleanliness is maintained. The library is huge, and it consists of three floors, but currently only two floors are operating. You will find academic books and novels too if you are a reading enthusiast. Also, air-conditioned labs are well maintained and the hardwares is working and up to date. There is an administration office for students to ask their queries. There is a fountain in our college. The canteen is also hygienic, clean and very affordable.

The campus life is good. As this is a women college so the crowd is nice and comfortable. There are many clubs and societies in the college that you can join and have fun there and grow your networks. All Society organises their fests in October - February month. Some of the societies are finance and investment cell, consulting, e cell, enactus, painting, dance, singing, dramas, fashion society etc. And most of the society is active. Also, there are NGOs in the society, if you wish to do some social work. Meanwhile, fests such as Diwali fest and Dandiya night do not happen at all which is a bit disappointing. Anyways you can visit other colleges for these fests and enjoy them there.
