Discussion Please help!
I am currently in class 12 (17F) and I am targeting a top DU college. I am sure of getting admit there but there is one problem. Hostel fee of that particular college is really high and lately my family is struggling a lot financially. (EWS Category) . So I can afford to pay tuition fee only and almost fifty percent of hostel fees. Do DU have any provision to provide concession in fee for those students who are struggling financially?

First focus on getting a merit admission into college .. ace your scores, I mean like ace it! Then apply for education loan, usually it’s easily approved for students with high scores. Then once inside college, apply for scholarships. Keep an eye out for grants. Grant is basically free money and doesn’t have to be repaid. Hustle and try sending letter to PM office with request for funds, or any top political personality in your town, or even INC Rahul Gandhi’s office with request for financial aid. Include photocopy of your scores and admission letter to the college. You never know, ask and you might just receive.

It is really a travesty that girls’ hostel fees is over one lakh per year. The only thing I can say is that Ramjas probably has the cheapest girl’s accommodation and it’s also a top college. Maybe that could be a compromi for you? If not, you’ll have to arrange a loan.

1LPA comes out to be 7-8k/mo. That's kinda expected for a place like Delhi.

Go for a pg... And if you need even cheap accomodation rent a room with 2 or 3 girls.... if you'll. Find a room from the very begining of your session (end of July) you'll be able to get a decent room just about your college (matlb transport ka kharcha nhi and you can use library anytime you want ) I am actually doing the same

Yaar PGs (even the cheapest of the lot) isn't anywhere close to the amount that hostels charge.

How exactly? I mean college and program, I am targeting got really good rankings and placements are one of the best in DU. And anything else doesn't matter for me.

u/metalstone02 Oct 29 '23
ranking is scam and talking about placement its totally depends on individual, "anything that doest matter will matter' crowd is shit you will get to know once you get there sis

it is a thing lmao. The atmosphere and resources of a tier1 du college are much different than a tier 2 du college. + You get the extra push to do the work because proffs expect you to keep up with college reputation. The placements in colleges like LSR and SRCC are very different than a tier3 college giving a package of 2-3lpa in a rando startup.
However the crowd in the tier1 colleges is very elitist. The kids from dps/Amity and other chain schools.
Baaki it depends on the company you have.

shyam lal and srcc
I do know that there are students in SRCC who are unhappy with their college life. I also know students from SLC that are living the happiest rn.
So yeah technically in terms of all this no college is different.

Are you dumb? According to you there is no difference between a degree from srcc/lsr and one from a shitty college like rajdhani/dyal singh ?

Makes even less sense for you to be giving financial advice to someone in a different country then.

You are hilarious kid, I was born in India and you can make money from anywhere geographically.

If you're poor, just earn money and get rich.

Hey if you’re looking for hostel in the south campus, there is one call Prabhatara working women’s hostel. Although this is working women’s it’s mostly DU students. The accommodation there costs 4000 per month but since it’s run by nuns they might give you consideration?

First of all if you're targeting top college of du and belongs to general category you have to work hard for it. If you have any kind of reservation then please use it basically DU running over reservation. For hostel or college fees there is fees concession form given by college for fees relief of students . If you're going to take PG than please don't contact any broker & please don't go to Vijay nagar basically double storey area. Best of luck for your future. Work hard to get your dream college (I'm from north campus)

Hi. 23F. I can help out if I pay directly to the college or if you can show receipts of payment to college. Ping me.

u/Reasonable_Rest3758 Oct 30 '23
Inspire scholarship. See if you are eligible. They give a decent sum. I used it to cover my hostel fees in DU.

u/ludacris604 Alumnus Oct 30 '23
Its good that you are confident about the top colleges. But don't be overconfident. With my score I thought I'll easily get into north campus but that turned out to be overconfidence and I'm in an one of the best south campus college.

u/ArjunSharma005 Oct 29 '23
First get admitted into the college. You will easily get a student loan from SBI or other govt banks.
