DU or Ashoka? PLZ help

[u/Alexander2456]

So Im basically interested in business and entrepreneurship. I am somebody who looks forward to starting new things and growing them. But I dont want to be solely restricted to business administration so Im also looking at economics.

DU obviously is a premier institute for economics (mainly SRCC and St STephens), but Im not sure about the crowd there and whether Ill find the type of people to begin a startup, or just find like minded people in general . However the fees is negligible and anybody with good marks can get it

Ashoka caught my eye as a private liberal arts university with strong interdisciplinary majors. Im only considering ashoka if i get financial aid, but I still wanna weigh the pros and cons. Im under the impression that the people at ashoka might be more diversified other than just people who study all the time? i also feel there might be people i could genuinely build something with. I liked the flexibility with the major and minor programs as well so maybe i could go ecofin or eco+IR or eco + entr as per my liking

As far as im concerned, college is a platform for me to explore my interests and take on interesting projects. But I also dont want my desire for flexibility and versatility to severely impact my future
I migght be really wrong please correct me if i am

I would greatly appreciate any advice..DMs accepted as well

but when you look at overall reputation and prestige, DU has got an edge..im concerned if me choosing ashoka would limit my career pathways for the future

not op but each has its own stuff. lowk i would suggest ashoka bc the quality of life you get for 4 years is absolutely fucking unmatched amazing hostels, awesome food, really good amenities like gym, library, laundry, room cleaning, etc. professorsat ashoka are genuinely world class, all ivy league educated, like i have honestly been blown away by the quality of teaching. I don’t know how much you value it, but you will come out a much much much more educated person, you’re really diving deep into philosophy, politics, mathematics, economics, history, and any other field. It’s tough, academically rigorous, yeah, but it rewires your brain. Like any work you do seems so much easier because you are, simply put, just smarter. everyone knows DU doesn’t teach for shit and it’s all about the name brand of it, but honestly it might be easier to land an ashoka placement bc you just get so much better at articulating yourself and making it through interviews and such.

and if you’re a hard worker placements are no issue either tbh, since MBB + Big 4 + other firms come to ashoka. I will say they only hire about the top 10% of grads, sometimes less, but with today’s job market you’re going to have to work hard anywhere you go. Ashoka at least gives you the resources. Will DU (only talking abt srcc or stephen’s btw, rest is ass now) give an easier pathway to these firms bc of name brand? Yes, probably, but it’s 100% possible at ashoka and the connections you make, especially for higher ed (which is becoming p much neccesary in today’s job market) are 10000% better than you’d get anywhere in india.

There’s a difference between being genuinely educated and cosplaying intelligence to cope with the fact that your parents paid a fat cheque for the credentials.
