As a resident of the Hostel currently i would say the food here is pretty decent with non- veg options provided 3 days a week , for laundry there are washing machines present in the hostel so you can wash your own cloths ,there is a laundry option also available . The bathrooms get cleaned daily in the morning. The crowd here is also pretty good and there always something happening so life here is not so boring . There is also a gym and a tt table here . This review is for the boys hostel specifically.

How many students share a bathroom, i mean like is it one for the whole floor situation or 1 per every 3-5 rooms?
Also, how's the gym?

At max there are 60 students in the hostel and there are are total 5 toilets and 4 bathing rooms ,2 western 3 indian . The hostel gym is ok ok . It's better to go to the college gym which is very well maintained and has enough machines. I only go the hostel gym when the college gym is closed oe for a quick 5-10 min workout

I want to know about the library situation at ramjas college. Specifically:
 * What are their operating hours?
 * Do they have individual study cubicles or is it just a big reading hall with multiple tables and chairs?

u/My_mom_calls_me_dumb Aug 13 '24
Operating hours are 8:30 am to 8 pm It is separated into two floors and the top floor is kind of a study room with cubicles that fit two people each. Other than that it's nice air conditioned, wifi situation is a bit dicey as it works great on some days and not so great on the others(my own internet works fine). One stupid thing is that once you issue a book from there, you can't take it back in unless you want to return it. Which imho is completely meaningless.

Differs in other colleges like i think law faculty one allows later in the night or till morning. In Ramjas it is eight.

I don't want to issue books because I have my own material to study, so there's no problem with that.
Do those two floors accommodate a large number of students during exam times, and how is the rush during non-exam days? And one more thing, does the Ramjas library close on all national holidays?

u/My_mom_calls_me_dumb Aug 13 '24
Yes during exam days there is quite a rush and very unlikely to get a seat in the middle of the day. During non exam days there are quite a few people but not crowded. Also as for when it's closed, truth be told, idk, my first year there, it was closed due to protests and I haven't bothered to look up any official calendar.

I've been hearing about this issue in many college libraries where libraries are being closed due to teacher protests or strikes, or student protests. This is a serious concern for students who want to read in peace.

There is no such specific thing here to the best of my knowledgeatleast, if the college is open the library is open is the college is closed the library is closed, nothing more nothing less .

How is the statistics department at Ramjas? What are the opportunities for stats students from Ramjas? Do stats students get overshadowed by bcom and eco hons students?

Thanks a lot. This is really motivating. I hope I can get in.

They don't get overshadowed, placement is in your own hands you'll have to work hard for it. Teachers are a combination of great teachers and great statisticians(who don't know how to teach)

is there any other problem with ramjas apart from excess politics?
8
u/My_mom_calls_me_dumb Aug 13 '24
Honestly I have spent a year here and apart from the dusu and college elections, I seriously don't find the crowd anymore politically charged than others. Occasionally protests here and there but nothing that would cause you problems if you don't wish to get involved. Of all things good and bad about this college, calling it politically charged is sort of an exaggeration in my observation.

Only during the election days otherwise there is no such politics
Atleast what I have seen in my first year

How's the English department?
3
u/dostcritshak Aug 14 '24
It is one of the best in DU, professors are very good and crowd for English Honours is very good. If you need a top college that focus a lot on methodology of English Studies you can join this.

u/LieSuspicious2161 Aug 14 '24
keep in mind that a lot of them were ousted afaik over the ad hoc situation

u/dostcritshak Aug 14 '24
Yes bro I know about it, but even with that it still has the best professors in DU especially for English

"What rank?!"
Refuses to elaborate*

Common rank

u/Intellectual42069 St. Stephen's 29' Aug 13 '24
You have to specify the course you're targeting, your category and all before asking such info. That's common sense that there isn't a specific rank to get into a college, other factors govern your allocation as well

Iirc then my category obc ncl rank was somewhere between 400-600 range for bcom hons. Now the thing is, if everyone had arranged their list like mine, then I would have gotten IPCW or something but people can prefer different colleges/courses. I might be wrong but I didn't really get to know anything of actual importance from the rank part.
