HINDUSTAN TIMES

Delhi College Guide 2012

n institution of 90 year’s standing, the University of Delhi is a magnet for knowledgeseekers (as well as knowledge-givers) from the remotest corners of the country and even outside. Once home to the British viceroy and the governor general, it is today a choice of lakhs of students and has been so of innumerable before, including notables like Aung San Suu Kyi (Nobel peace laureate) and GP Koirala (former PM of Nepal), to name only two. The university has been and continues to be the training ground of some of the brightest minds in the country. Popular as DU, it's one of a handful of Indian institutions that have found a place in global university rankings. DU was established through a bill passed by the Legislative Assembly in 1922. When it opened its doors that year, the university comprised of three colleges and 750 students. It has grown to become one of the largest universities in India as well as in the world — with nearly 80 colleges. The colleges, the earliest of which, too, started with small groups of students on their rolls, have evolved in size and stature as well. These now include nationally-renowned names like St Stephen’s College, Lady Shri Ram College for Women and Shri Ram College of Commerce, each carving a niche for itself and developing a personality of its own. The university and different colleges are a remarkable blend of academic strength and co- and extra-curricular accomplishments. They offer a wide spectrum of courses for the geeks to the fitness freaks — from engineering, medicine, business economics, finance and investment analysis, special education, food technology, home science, instrumentation, polymer science, biomedical science, social work, geology, anthropology, statistics, elementary education and applied psychology to French, German, Italian, music, fine arts and physical education. For the past several years, DU has been introducing a slew of academic reforms, laudable as well as controversial, including the revamped BA pass and other courses of inter-disciplinary nature, new ones such as BSc in biological sciences, industry-linked courses, add-on certificate courses, English language classes, the semester system, webcasts, teaching assistantships, among others. Alongside this has taken place major infrastructure expansion and renovation. There are many reasons that bring aspirants to pursue an education at DU. As one outstation candidate at north campus once told us, there’s something different about it. It’s different!

ENTRANCE TESTS

YOUR GATEWAY TO SOME OF THE MOST POPULAR COURSES IN DU

Are you ready for DU tests? Here’s the lowdown on the entrance tests for admission to some of the programmes at the university elhi University’s entrance tests are D round the corner. At stake are the hopes, ambitions and future of several aspirants who look forward to being part of one of the most sought-after universities in the country. With an increasing number of takers for these entrance tests each year, the competition is getting tougher. We spoke to students and teachers to tell you how you can ace the common entrance tests for various undergraduate programmes. BBS/BBE/BFIA ENTRANCE TEST 2012 Admission to the three popular nontechnical professional undergraduate

courses of the university, namely bachelor of business studies (BBS), BA (hons) business economics (BBE) and bachelor of financial and investment analysis (BFIA), are conducted through a common entrance test. The test does not have a fixed format or specified weightage for the different sections. Generally, there are four sections related to verbal and comprehension ability; analytical reasoning; general awareness and mathematics. The entrance test is common for all the three courses. Advising students getting ready for the tests, Poonam Verma, principal, Shaheed Sukhdev College of Business Studies, says, “They should have

HINDUSTAN TIMES

Delhi College Guide 2012

studied English and mathematics at the intermediate level. There should be an understanding and awareness of current affairs. Ability to analyse and interpret information given will help in the reasoning section.” For practice, refer to the sample papers given with the prospectus of the colleges that offer the courses.

HOW I DID IT

Basic knowledge of mathematics, especially what you have studied in Class 10 and 12, will help you sail through quantitative aptitude. Reading newspapers, magazines and watching news is a great help in cracking the general awareness section. Reading a couple of novels and referring to the dictionary each time I read a new or difficult word helped improve my general aptitude and vocabulary,” says Ketan Bhatheja, first-year student, Sri Guru Gobind Singh College of Commerce.

ENTRANCE TESTS

YOUR GATEWAY TO SOME OF THE MOST POPULAR COURSES IN DU

COMMON JOURNALISM ENTRANCE TEST (CJET)

The format, in terms of marks allocation to the subjective and objective sections, remains the same. The objective section carries 40 marks and the subjective section carries 60 marks. The time allotted for the objective is 30 minutes and for subjective, 90 minutes. The paper shall be of two hours in contrast to last year’s two hours and 30 minutes. “The topics a student needs to cover are issues and events covered by newspapers/magazines over the last six months at least. The subjective section has four parts. All carry equal marks. Candidates will be assessed on English language skills, knowledge of issues and events-political/ economic/ media/development etc,” says Tarjeet Sabharwal, convenor, admissions committee, CJET.

HOW I DID IT

CJET is one of those entrance tests that judge your ability to pursue a course rather than random topics you would have crammed from a book. A basic sense of what is happening in the world and a flair for writing is what you need.

The CJET is not only about a written test. After taking the written exam, you also have to appear for an interview. The interview, the written test and your Class 12 percentage together determine your rank. The test has a set of multiple choice questions that are based on current affairs. The objective section is followed by a subjective section which assesses your ability to write. You may be asked questions ranging from social issues to critical analysis of sectors in the media. If you read the newspaper, watch news channels and genuinely want to be a journalist, all this will come to you automatically. The interview however, can be an intimidating experience for many aspirants. It at least was for me. Do read up on veteran journalists to get a general idea of what’s happening in the country and internationally. Follow notary news and media-oriented blogs. Read beyond the Washington Post Social Reader. Let the interviewer know your passion for journalism through your confidence and knowledge about the same,” says Gurman Bhatia, a first-year student at the department of journalism, Lady Shri Ram College for Women.

There’s no fixed syllabus for the test. A candidate’s inclination to literature studies, writing skills and ability to appreciate literary and non-literary texts is assessed

COMMON ADMISSION TEST FOR ENGLISH (CATE)

Delhi University’s Common Aptitude Test for English (CATE) will be more “inclusive” this year with the Department of English deciding to lower the eligibility criteria for students. This year, general category candidates would require 45% marks in best four subjects in Class 12 instead of 60% marks that was the requirement last year. For those under OBC category the criteria is 40.5% and it’s 40% for the physically handicapped. Those who fall in the SC/ST category must have passing marks in the school leaving examination. There will be five merit lists for the five categories. “The test is tentatively scheduled to be held on June 8, 2012. The sale and submission of forms will begin from May 21, 2012 and will go on till June 1, 2012 (tentatively),” says Tapan Basu, associate professor at the Department of English. Elaborating on the pattern of the test, Basu says, “There’s no fixed syllabus for the test. We test a candidate’s inclination to literature studies, writing skill and ability to appreciate literary and non-literary texts.” HINDUSTAN TIMES

Delhi College Guide 2012

HOW I DID IT

CATE tests if a student has the aptitude for studying literature. Last year, we had not been given any fixed syllabus or method of preparation for the examination. All we had was the pattern of the test. There were two sections in the paper. The first section had 50 multiple choice questions, each for a mark. Only if a certain percentage was scored in the first section, would the examiners go on to correct our second section, which was subjective. There was no negative marking. The second section had two parts of 25 marks each. The first part was to analyse a poem based on five questions for five marks each and the second was essay writing. You are assesed on your writing skills and how good you are at analysing texts given to you in this section. The objective section was fairly easy involving questions on grammar, general knowledge and names of authors and books. To prepare for CATE, all one needs is basic knowledge of the ‘literature world’ (famous books, noteworthy authors) and should be good at writing,” says Charu Gupta, a first-year student, English (hons), Lady Shri Ram College for Women.

THE RIGHT COURSE SUBJECT TO COLLEGE TO CAREER

BA (hons) applied psychology BY Salma Seth Associate professor department of applied psychology Vivekanand College

n the post-modern era, the purpose of education needs to be two-fold: education for a living and education for life. Education for life requires gaining a deeper understanding of the world, our minds, our emotions and about ourselves. Pursuing a three-year bachelor’s programme in applied psychology would facilitate this process of self-growth. It follows the semester pattern from this academic session. The course contents would help in building the students’ open-mindedness, competence, and ability to question. It would provide opportunities for students to build on their supportive nature, ability to give, face challenges, enhance their creativity, communication skills, and understanding of interpersonal relationships. The goal of such a course may be summarised in these words, “the secret of life is not only finding

yourself, the secret of life is creating yourself as well.” Furthermore, with the help of experiential pedagogical methods, a professional attitude is also inculcated amongst the students in specialised fields of psychology such as clinical psychology, human resource management, counselling psychology, and developmental psychology. The future prospects and scope of this course are very promising for students in India and abroad. Graduates may choose to opt for the postgraduate programme of the University of Delhi to gain more expertise. Or they may branch out into allied areas like social work, education, mass communication, advertising, personnel management and industrial relations, civil services, etc. Students preferring to go in for higher studies can opt for MPhil (especially in clinical psychology from the Institute of Human Behaviour and Allied Sciences, Delhi, National Institute of Mental Health and Neuro Sciences, Bangalore, etc) and PhD programmes. In short, this engaging discipline is very much likely to stimulate your adrenaline and help you develop a dynamic and holistic personality that would be an asset to any institution.

BA (hons) economics BY CP Gupta Department of financial studies

he BA programme in economics includes microeconomic and macroeconomic theory, mathematical and statistical methods, economic history of India and its economic problems and development theory. In the third year, students have some options and can choose papers such as econometrics, public economics, monetary economics, international trade and advanced micro and macro theory. Therefore our graduates going for higher studies are sought after by universities abroad. Over a period of time, it is increasingly being realised that economics has a right to exist only when it can help in solving various problems faced by economies and businesses. It has started coming out from the text books to board

rooms. Consequently, in order to meet the emerging challenges of applying economics to solve various real life problems, the teaching pedagogy has completely changed, especially in the area of business and management education. Now, the focus is more applied. Economics provides basic understanding about the dynamics of business and management. Over a period of time the subject has evolved in such a manner that many business related problems can be addressed by the theories of economics. Therefore, world over, economics is an integral part of business and management education. Students studying economics have lot of career options — they can go for management education (MBA). They can also take up careers as analysts, financial and business planners in the corporate, banking and insurance sector, researchers, teachers and apply for Indian civil/economics/foreign services. These are just few of the available options. Many DU colleges have placement cells and well established companies recruit from here. Students from all streams can join the BA (hons) economics programme. However, they are expected to have an aptitude for mathematics.

THE PLACEMENT SCENARIO

quantitative tools: statistics, maths, econometrics and operations research; as well as business concerns: accounting, business law, organisation behaviour, marketing, and business strategy. English language and computer-based skills form a necessary ingredient. The student can specialise in two of five areas: finance, advanced quantitative tools, special topics in economics, marketing and entrepreneurship. The papers were redesigned last year to include more recent changes and developments in the concerned subjects. This has made the course highly demanding and requires the student to engage with the curriculum in a consistent manner. To be successful, a student should exhibit a scientific temper, be logical and refuse to replace understanding with memorising. A successful student questions both in the classroom and within his/her peer group. Apart from these, a student should possess developed skills in maths. Students of business economics engage themselves in a variety of co-curricular activities outside the classroom. Participation in these is a necessary supplement to the curriculum.

Students study four subjects each semester consisting of two discipline courses (like for instance economics, history, political science, English and Hindi literature, mathematics, philosophy, music etc). In the first two semesters, the two discipline courses are accompanied by two language courses. Depending on the selection of subjects in a BA programme, a student can focus on careers as diverse as civil services, management, teaching, PR, advertising and sales, entrepreneurship etc. It is not surprising therefore, that often the percentage required for admission to BA programme is much higher than many honours courses, as there are lots of takers for this programme.

oology, a broad field and a major division of biology, includes the study of animals, studying both simple and complex processes. For example, papers are offered to study not only overall structure of an animal but to understand even the microscopic cells in its various organs. The University of Delhi offers new semester syllabi for the BSc (hons) zoology programme. The semester papers are more focused on biotechnology, genetics, genomics and cell and molecular biology with introduction of a few interdisciplinary papers like computational skills, mathematics, statistics and chemistry aimed to equip students with more of technical knowledge so that they gain a foothold in the careers of today’s world.

el instead of the microscopic level. It should be more focused on papers like animal diversity (taxonomy, identification, classification and affinities of different species of animals), animal physiology (life processes of animals like their growth, movement, reproduction, respiration, circulation, and other functions), ecology and environment (how the environment of animals affects their life processes and functions), embryology (the early growth of animals from their beginning as a fertilised cell to their birth or hatching) and evolution etc. In graduate school, a student just cannot specialise in genetics, embryology, molecular biology or another area in animal science. Graduates with a bachelor’s degree can get some jobs, such as advanced biological technician, but their opportunities for advancement are limited. Students should realise that an earned master’s degree in zoology or a related field would qualify them for jobs as teachers or research assistants. At Hindu College, we have two very vibrant societies, Genesis, the zoological society and the Earthlings, the wildlife society that organise lectures and workshops. We take our students for laboratory visits and introduce them to the world of recent researches in biological sciences at an early stage so that they would consider becoming academicians as one of the career options.

course. It’s a literature course, which requires intensive reading and plenty of writing. The course comprises a total of nine papers spread over three years. Seven compulsory papers (such as: Victorian literature, 20th century Indian writing, English literature from Chaucer to Shakespeare, contemporary literature) familiarise the students with the history, development and existence of different genres of English literature, through the study of the prescribed texts and authors. Two optional papers allow students to explore alternative areas of interest, through papers in classical literature, popular fiction, literary theory or European drama. Evaluation is based on written work, assignments and projects, helping students to develop the faculty of self-expression, analytical skills and critical abilities, useful beyond academics — it becomes a bent of mind. A holistic understanding of the interdependence between history, politics and sociology should emerge from a study of English (hons). This equips the student to pursue any course or career open to a student of humanities and social sciences.

Maximum research in the field of chemistry was carried out during Second World War. Since then chemistry has taken a major lead in all branches pertaining to science.

also underway. At the graduate level students learn basic and fundamental concepts in physical, inorganic and organic chemistry. In an effort to go beyond the theory of the syllabus, students are given smaller projects on relevent topics such as green chemistry, complexes, atmospheric science, drugs and medicine among others. Such assignments are generally completed during winter and summer vacations. The focus at all times is to facilitate a bent of self inquiry among students. This knowledge invariably places them in good stead when they embark upon professional research or research which is an integral component of their course work at the postgraduate and PhD levels. There are a large number of students who opt for chemistry as their subject at the undergraduate level. Career prospects are abundant particularly in today’s context of interdisciplinary studies and research. Chemistry students can join pharmeceutical companies, DRDO, BARC or embark upon the medicinal field as a chemist. The importance of chemistry in the years to come can best be understood by the fact that the year 2011 was officially declared as the International Year of Chemistry.

Sc (hons) microbiology is one of the most prestigious and an applied sciences course of Delhi University which was started in the year 1987. Microbiology is the study of microbes and their interactions with humans, animals, plants, and the environment. Microbes are those organisms usually too small to be seen by the naked eye, such as bacteria, viruses and archaea, and eukaryotes like yeast, protozoa and algae. Microbes have been around longer than anything else on earth — longer than dinosaurs, plants or people. Microbes influence all living beings and contribute to all manner of chemical and physical processes and play a pivotal role in our day to day lives in both positive and negative ways. Since microbial activities are so diverse, the science of microbiology is multidisciplinary, calling on the skills

tudying political science is to critically study the ‘history of possibilities’ and ‘the possibilities of history’. The discipline of politics, described by Aristotle (Greek philosopher — 384-322 BCE) as ‘master science’, addresses the key problems of human civilisation and suggests alternative methods to reorient the political, social and economic order. The core concerns of the discipline are the study of rules, policies, institutions, rule governed behaviour, and the effort to change rules through negotiations, arbitration and choice.

A wide range of sub-disciplines in its curriculum marks the scope of political science to engage students in their endeavour to have gainful employment and further the debate on education of future citizens, entrepreneurs, and officials at all levels of government. Delhi University’s revised syllabus is exciting, challenging and worth pursuing as it is designed to meet the essentials of the market and the socio-political arena.

BSc (hons) anthropology BY SL Mallik Head of department, department of anthropology

nthropology is one of the most challenging and sought after subjects because of its bio-cultural character. Also, it is the only discipline that provides a competent and professional understanding of the so-called preliterate societies of the world, which at one time were also called ‘primitive’ and ‘non-civilised.’ Today, anthropology studies the enormous diversity of human living in a comparative perspective. On the one hand, it studies homosapiens (man, the wise) as a biological and genetic entity, in relationship with other primates and higher apes. On the other, humans are studied as social beings and the creators of cultural products and civilisation. Man is analysed as a par excellence transformer and destroyer of nature. Taking up a holistic view, anthropology builds a bridge between biological and social sciences. Anthropology has a myriad of specialisations, but its four branches are more universally recognised. One the study of the biological traits of human beings and their modification by nurture is known as physical anthropology. The specialisation dedicated to the understanding of human society and culture is

Best institutions In many Indian universities, anthropology at the undergraduate level is taught in departments of anthropology rather than at the colleges

known as social and/or cultural anthropology. The study of the imperishable remains of the past is prehistory or archaeological anthropology. Lastly, we have linguistic anthropology which is a comparative study of the languages of pre-literate and literate communities. In Delhi University, anthropology is placed along with natural and biological sciences in the faculty of science. Only those students who have studied biology in their senior secondary along with other science subjects are admitted to the course. Although undergraduate students are admitted to Hans Raj College, their theory and practical classes are held in the department of anthropology, since the inception of the BSc (hons) course in anthropology in 1962. The undergraduate curriculum includes an introduction to all branches of anthropology. As anthropology is essentially a field science, students are expected to participate in the department-sponsored rounds of fieldwork. In the first year of their graduation, they generally visit a zoological garden to carry out a study in primate behaviour. In the second year, they get to visit an archaeological site. In their final year, they conduct a two week firsthand study of a village covering both the biological and socio-cultural parameters, and write a dissertation.

The programme comprises subjects including the English language, business organisation and management, business and company law, micro-economics, macro-economics and a study of India’s economy. There is also due focus on imparting skills in accounting, so there are papers in financial accounting, corporate and cost accounting.

porate governance, business communication, computer applications in business, and regulation of forex markets, among others, in a manner that will enable students to gain greater acceptability in several sectors of business and profession. The curriculum has thus been designed in a manner to equip students with the knowledge of basic concepts of commerce, an orientation of which they have already received in Class 11 and Class 12 in school. These concepts are elucidated in the course contents of the comprehensive syllabus in a manner that help the student gain insights into the domestic and global business environment as well as to hone and develop entrepreneurial skills. This is in addition to the grounding in theoretical concepts. There are several career opportunities available to students after the BCom programme. They can join industry as management trainees or start their own small/medium ventures. Students can also develop careers in banking and insurance or pursue further studies in cost and management accountancy or become company secretaries. Several students also pursue MBA programmes or opt for MCom after which they can go for teaching as a career. Evidently, in addition to the BCom qualification, a bachelor’s degree in education is required to be able to teach commerce subjects to Class 11 and Class 12 students. Although higher mathematics is not required at the school level to enrol for the BCom programme, it is necessary for the student to have some interest in maths, statistics and accountancy as well as a keen desire to learn about concepts in law.

becoming effective from academic year 20112012. The course provides insights into various aspects of running businesses which include accounting and mathematical and statistical analysis, to name a few. Keeping in mind the need to navigate increasingly complex world markets and manage risks arising from there — the new course structure incorporates new papers on financial markets, institutions and financial services, international business and a paper on governance, ethics and social responsibility of business thus forging a bond between society and education. This course is suitable for students who are at ease with numbers, as numerical and mathematical literacy is a necessary concomitant for maintaining high scores. SRCC, Hindu, Hans Raj in the north campus and LSR and Sri Venkateswara in off-thecampus category are some of the most sought after colleges for this course. This course is a gateway to advanced studies programmes like chartered accountancy, company secretary, actuarial sciences, master’s in business administration, master’s in commerce, master’s in business economics and master’s in finance and control. Another less exercised but nonetheless an important option is administrative services which requires extra perseverance and dedication. The course is extremely popular since many companies offer good and attractive openings to graduates during campus recruitment.

BSc (hons) biochemistry BY Sunita Joshi Associate professor department of biochemistry Daulat Ram College

n an era of evolving scientific developments, there is a growing need for a greater thrust on applied sciences. Though pure sciences have a major role to play, applied sciences provide a larger understanding of knowledge. Also, the changing economic scenario calls for greater interaction between industry and academia. It is in this context that Delhi University (DU) has been striving to bring new courses in all streams of academic understanding. The thrust of these courses is to make education relevant to the dramatically-growing employment market. BSc (hons) biochemistry is a unique programme started by DU in 1987. For the first time, the university looked beyond the usual honours syllabus and gave equal weightage to all the papers taught for the degree.

BSc (hons) botany BY Suman Kumra Associate professor department of botany, Hindu College

otany is one of the preferred choices among science students in India. It focuses on the extensive scientific study of plants along with their structure, growth, use. It is also the study of the processes of all forms of plant life. This means that it studies evolution, ageing, decaying and death. In the past few years botany has evolved as a subject. Initially the focus was more on classical studies like structure and life history of different groups of plants, anatomy, taxonomy, economic botany, genetics, physiology, ecology etc. At present new areas like molecular biology, biotechnology, microbiology, bioinformatics, environmental science have become an integral part of the curriculum. Students are being trained with latest technologies which have not only inculcated interest in higher studies in science but have also made several job options open.

BSc physical science BY SV Eswaran Head, department of chemistry and dean, academics, St Stephen’s College

n the year 2005, Delhi University rechristened its BSc (Gen) course to the new BSc programme physical science course. In its new avatar, the course requires a student to study physics, mathematics and chemistry/ computer science/ electronics. The students are expected to do in addition a course in technical writing and communication in English/ computational skills and compulsory courses in biology including practical which were also to be evaluated and count towards the degree. All students are expected to do a previously ‘self taught’ qualifying course in environmental science and appear for an online examination. Compared to their honors counterparts, students in this course often feel neglected. Prospective students are advised not to take this course lightly as this is a demanding course requiring hard work in the laboratory work in chemistry/ physics/ computer science and biology. The proposed introduction of the four year degree programme with effect from 2013 could bring about a positive change. It is said that the new scheme would allow students to quit after 2nd year or 3rd

year of the course and would get a suitable certification or a BSc degree. Those who complete the full 4 year programme successfully would then be awarded a BSc (hons) degree. Students can thus earn the extra 16th year of education required for taking up higher studies abroad especially the United States. The university has also launched an initiative of innovative projects of interdisciplinary nature cutting across departments in colleges. Students should make a beeline for such projects as these would increasingly count both towards the degree and add credit for admissions to foreign universities. The main strength of this course lies in the fact that students at the end of the course are equally well trained in the chosen three subjects. They are thus well prepared to take up any direction of their choice. It is thus implied that delay over specialisation is beneficial to a student who is yet to make up his/her mind over life’s goals. As a matter of fact, only a small percentage of students take up higher studies in natural sciences and many have, in a short span of time, after an MBA or courses in finance/ accounting become well established in life and started earning R50,000 to R60,000 a month or more.

BSc (hons) physics BY RK Shivpuri Advisor, University of Delhi

Sc (hons) physics course has been a flagship course of Delhi University (DU) ever since its inception. This course was modeled after similar courses in top foreign universities. It has been continuously updated keeping in view the latest developments in the area of physics. The training and knowledge imparted under this programme has allowed the students to take up highly challenging careers. This has been one of the chief reasons for the immense appeal and popularity of this course. The front ranking of this course is not only due to its continuous revision but also due to excellent career prospects after graduation. However, the level of teaching of physics (hons) courses in different colleges is not uniform. There are a number of career possibilities after B Sc (hons) in physics. The latest one that comes to mind is MTech in nuclear science and technology that was started in DU in 2008. This is another flagship postgraduate course of DU. This is the only course where students are sent to top institutes in France for course work and dissertation for one year. The course work has been arranged and man-

knowledge, skills and attitudes. Social work is beyond charity. It is for welfare, development and empowerment of people. It is, however, different from the way people perceive it. Professional social work is an internationally-recognised profession responding to complex and intricate issues related to human needs, social problems, social justice and human rights. After BSW, a student can do master’s, MPhil and PhD programmes. Jobs are available in the field of social development/ welfare bodies/ projects in the government and voluntary sector. One can also find jobs in bilateral and UN organisations, professional institutions and industry. Professional social workers occupy important posts in social welfare and other departments of the government, hospitals, schools, childcare services, community-based organisations etc. Besides, many of them spearhead social movements and handle advocacy initiatives in different parts of the country. It fosters an attitude of creativity, innovation, initiative, self-expression and critical self-enquiry. This in turn leads to a process of constant development and self actualisation for the student and a newer set of approaches and interventions for society at large.

The classical paradigm deals with stratification of social inequalities at tandem ranging from casteclass; race-ethnicity; income-gender etc and yet, perspective may vary from urban to rural, tradition to modernity, industrial to capital; consumer societies and above all vast studies on environment to globalisation and its impact on the global society.

The basic premise of the above is to brainstorm over social issues and to provide a methodology to seek certain answers by analysing them critically. One learns to raise basic questions and resolve them in the most systematic patterns of society. This course as a domain offers a sociological insight into the problems we encounter in everyday life. Human behaviour is a result of social cultural contexts rather than biological or economic factors alone. From micro level interactions and its affects and consequences to larger social processes at macro level such as ethnocentrism, social network, community, and social change are analysed through comparative historical, demographic, experimentalethnographic methods. Courses from introduction to sociology, sociology to India, economic sociology, sociology of religion and kinship, political sociology, environment and society, sociology of gender, urban and industrial sociology and social stratification are all taught in thiscourse.

BSc (hons) statistics BY CP Gupta Department of financial studies

tatistics is a tool of analysing data and inferring conclusions from it. All sciences social sciences and natural sciences make use of statistics heavily. Practically, there is no branch of knowledge where statistics is not taught and used — and even linguistic uses statistics. Statisticians are in demand in all areas where data is to be processed and analysed. Teaching of statistics is increasingly linked with its practical and real life use in recent years. Students are taught about applications along with the

necessary statistical theory. The emerging trend is — train the students to use statistical software to solve various statistical problems. This approach enables the students to take up statistical challenges when they confront real life problems in their career. In other words trends in teaching statistics are more on preparing students to apply statistical tools using software. Of late, statisticians are in great demand in the insurance industry as these people can excel in actuarial sciences. A number of research areas are emerging in statistics. Statisticians are working on pattern recognition and image process. They are also engaged in developing certain tools for data mining and artificial intelligence. Many statisticians are trying to develop certain statistical tools to identify profitable trading strategies in stock markets. In bio and medical sciences, lot of statisticians are working to develop models for diagnosis and identification of various diseases. Statisticians have a lot of career choices — they can enter into business, management and economics and through that they can enter into the corporate world. They can also take up a career in market research. This is a lucrative field as many companies today specialise in this domain.

Shoppers’ paradise

Shop to your heart’s content at Sarojini Nagar Market and Lajpat Nagar As you are soon going to embark on your college journey, you might need to refurbish your wardrobe. Among the places popular with youngsters are Sarojini Nagar Market and Lajpat Nagar where you can shop for trendy outfits and accessories. If you love shopping and bargains, then these are the places for you. Most shops here spill on to the street and sell everything from T-shirts with a graphic touch (price: R90 onwards), colourful stoles, kurtas and py-

jamas to clutches, bead bags, earrings, colourful beads and footwear. However, you’ll need all your bargaining skills to get a really decent price. It is said that at Lajpat Nagar Central Market you can get “anything from a pin to a (toy) plane”. It is a good place to shop for inexpensive Indian clothing, shoes, bags, jewellery (including bangles), and home furnishings. 3C’s Cinema is also just outside the market.

JAMIA MILLIA ISLAMIA VCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S MESSAGE

Semester system to roll out at JMI Why has the university decided to shift to semester-based learning? There are several advantages of the semester system such as continuous assessment and the possibility of tweaking courses keeping the level of students in mind. In other words, it has scope for greater student-centricity. In any case, it is a universal practice, which is followed in all parts of the world. It is not something entirely new to us. How will the university benefit from the new model? We have seen the benefits of the semester system in our university. Rather than burdening the students once a year with evaluation etc, the semester system helps us spread the process of learning and evaluation evenly all through the year. There is greater engagement with the teaching-learning process with class participation and regular assessments are an integral part of it. It also provides flexibility and offers students the possibility of opting for courses in cognate disciplines and developing a multidisciplinary approach to their object of study.

108

Will the semesters be implemented in phases? We are going to introduce it at the undergraduate level in July this year. We have made necessary preparations for that. My teachers have been working hard for the last couple of years to make the transition as smooth as possible from an annual mode to the semester mode for undergraduate courses. It must be added that they have experience of the semester mode at the postgraduate level, which has helped their decisions. Delhi Universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s experiment with the semester system is yet to bear fruits. Do you think the shift is going to benefit the student community? How? Jamia Millia Islamia has a completely different structure. Unlike Delhi University, which offers affiliation to 80odd colleges, Jamia does not have affiliating colleges and therefore, the numbers that one is dealing with are completely different in the two universities.

SCHOOL OF LANGUAGE, LITERATURE & CULTURE STUDIES

A mix of cultures, disciplines at JNU

The graduate-level language programmes being offered by JNU are in demand

FROM THE VCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S OFFICE

WHY STUDY HERE?

JNU departs from the well-trodden path by emphasising the continuity of the learning process rather than isolating the final exam as the only tool of measuring achievement SK Sopory, vice chancellor

All programmes being offered in the university are in demand as all of them are inter-disciplinary in nature and there is a variety of options of courses to be taken by the registered students. However, it has been observed during the last many years that the graduate-level language programmes of study being offered by the university are in demand and the candidates from far off places, especially, the backward areas, take the entrance examination for admission to BA (hons) in foreign languages, that is Arabic, Chinese, French, German, Japanese, Korean, Persian, Russian and Spanish every year. New faculty housing and annex buildings of the School of International Studies, School of Social Sciences and School of Language, Literature and Culture Studies are expected to be ready by December 2012. JNU avoided the narrowly conceived department structures of conventional universities, preferring instead to bring allied disciplines within a few broad and inclusive parameters called schools, under whose interactive ambit are placed the more specialised units called centres. Currently, there are 10 schools and three special centres in the university.

What are your new plans? At IP University, our aim is to create quality competition to attract the best of students. We want to invite not just the minds, but also the hearts of the students. There are various additions and changes that have been made this year, foremost being the introduction of an interview process for management programmes. This year onwards, we are accepting CET scores, followed by a personal interview, which will carry a weightage of around 25%. The university is also launching three postgraduate programmes. Also, the university has started a centre for the study and propagation of human values...

Tell us something about the Centre for the Study and Propagation of Human Values. It was felt that in our professional courses, a lot of emphasis was given on skill and knowledge without paying much attention to the development of the moral fabric of the student. So, we thought it will be prudent for us to establish a centre that can help in propagation of human values. However, the centre will not operate in a conventional mode, offering credit courses. It will provide an environment conducive to research, with seminars, discussions and talks. When is the Indira Gandhi Institute of Technology (IGIT) getting university status? The proposal to convert IGIT into a deemed university has been approved by the cabinet. My personal expectation is that the status should be conferred on it in the monsoon session of Parliament. What is the representation of girl students on campus? Are any steps being taken to increase their numbers in the varsity? More than 50% of our students are girls and the representation and performance

are laudable. Not just girls, but all meritorious students are encouraged to put in their best at the university. In case a meritorious student can’t afford higher education due to adverse economic conditions, s/he can approach us. Any new exchange programmes or collaborations that are being worked out with foreign universities and institutions? This year, we are planning to forge collaborations with universities and institutions in Italy, France, the UK and others. Most of these collaborations are in the area of science and its application. Other than that, we have some very good tie-ups with Korea, Japan and Russia for our engineering students. How many colleges are affiliated to the varsity? Do you plan to increase the numbers? There are 106 affiliated colleges with more than 65,000 students. We are making the affiliation process very strict this year onwards. Until and unless the colleges are good, we don’t want them to come forward. Our internal review committee reviews and compares the performance of these colleges.

The university’s main focus is on development of core intellectual process FROM THE VC’S OFFICE

The undergraduate programmes at AUD have been designed for broad-based liberal education which focuses as much on development of core intellectual processes and competencies as on mastery over disciplinary knowledge. Its modular format supported by credit system allows for considerable flexibility in the choice of courses for the students. A student can choose to major in one of the core disciplines or can opt for a multi-disciplinary base through the BA honours stream in the social sciences and humanities. A student can also opt for a dual major option by earning more credits as a second major in the fourth year. All these features make AUD’s undergraduate programme a pace-setting one. HINDUSTAN TIMES

ABOUT AUD

Bharat Ratna Dr BR Ambedkar University, Delhi was established by the Government of the National Capital Territory of Delhi through an Act of Legislature in 2007 and was notified in July 2008. Mandated to focus on research and teaching in the social sciences and humanities and guided by Dr Ambedkarâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vision of bridging equality and social justice with excellence, AUD considers it to be its mission to create sustainable and effective linkages between access to and success in higher education. AUD is committed to creating an institutional culture characterised by humanism, non-hierarchical and collegial functioning, teamwork and nurturance of creativity. The university is broadly structured into schools and centres, most of which are now functional. It focuses on areas of knowledge and professional specialisations which are relevant to our context yet are not being given enough emphasis by other universities in this part of the country.

HISTORY: The School of Undergraduate Studies

(SUS) at Ambedkar University, Delhi (AUD), intends to redefine ways in which undergraduate education is perceived and offered in this country. At AUD, undergraduate studies means going beyond majoring in one subject and moving towards preparing for further specialisation. As for some students this may be the terminal qualification, SUS has evolved a multidisciplinary approach to studies with emphasis on flexibility, choice and a wide range of foundational and special interest courses that aim to prepare students for life experiences, including occupational environments. The foundation courses are designed towards developing creativity, reasoning and social sensitivity. The option of choosing/changing the major area of study has also been included to this end. The larger vision of SUS is to provide a holistic education by which students develop effective linkages within and outside the class, with a keen sense of belonging in the university through participation in various extra-curricular activities, including student-faculty committees. HINDUSTAN TIMES

Delhi College Guide 2012

The academic emphasis is on training students in critical reading of texts, preparing short research papers, framing research questions, and teamwork with special focus on skill building. SUS believes in developing the different aptitudes that each student has and hopes to bring out the best in each student.

PROGRAMMES: At AUD for the 2012-2013

session the following programmes are on offer:

Three-year programmes: BA honours with a major in economics BA honours with a major in English BA honours with a major in history BA honours with a major in mathematics BA honours with a major in psychology BA honours with a major in sociology BA honours with a major in the social sciences and humanities Four-year programme: BA honours with a dual major in two areas

HISTORY AND GENERAL GOVERNANCE

The School of Open Learning formerly known as the Directorate of Correspondence Courses, established under the University of Delhi in 1962, is a pioneer institution in the field of distance education in India. The country witnessed the beginning of an alternate mode of education when the school started with a modest admission of 900 students in 1962.

WHY STUDY HERE?

Ignou harbours potential and promise for today’s young Indians who are not deterred by handicaps in terms of money and distance to avail the best in education — M Aslam

India is faced with many challenges on its path to becoming a developed nation. One among them is providing education to a large segment of its population who do not have access to institutes of higher learning. This is possible only by democratising higher education. The Open and Distance Learning (ODL) system of imparting knowledge, pioneered by Ignou, is perhaps the biggest step in this direction for it is the most effective route towards achieving inclusion in terms of education. For a majority of Indians living in villages and small towns, merely reaching a centre of higher learning was and continues to be a challenge and hence the ODL system primarily envisages facilitating access to education for these ‘unreached’ sections of our society. In our country we should not wait for learners to come to seats of learning. Instead, seats of learning need to reach out to learners across the length and breadth of the country with quality teaching interventions. Ignou has significant promise and potential for our undergraduate students. Firstly education imparted through the ODL system is clearly costHINDUSTAN TIMES

effective when compared to face-to-face education for obvious reasons. Additionally, learners can remain economically productive even as they study to acquire qualifications. A learner may take time to earn for himself/herself in between the courses; be in Dubai or Hyderabad and yet continue his/her studies; achieve his/her degree by cumulative credits over a period of time; or at any stage of his/her life without necessarily having the standard entry qualifications. We are also focusing on job courses, which are enabling courses for the learners to equip themselves with basic qualifications required for the job market. In India, people study primarily to earn. Moreover, a considerable number of Indians, especially from rural and semi urban areas study to be able to contribute to small family run businesses. Keeping all these factors in mind we have introduced a diverse range of unconventional/vocational job oriented courses such as aquaculture, meat technology, diary technology, watershed management, fish products technology, panchayat level development

and administration, business skills, sericulture, organic farming, poultry farming, bee keeping, shoe making and motor cycle and repair. Effective student-support services are an important pre-requisite for the success of any ODL educational intervention. We at Ignou are constantly working out strategies to improve the completion rate, reduce the drop-out rate, provide sustainable, quality education and enhance the credibility of the ODL system. In order to make our student support services more effective, we plan to equip all study centres and regional centres with adequate ICT equipment and other infrastructure. This will enable seamless connectivity of the study centres and regional centres with our headquarters that in turn will enable prompt data transmission and retrieval, information sharing and redressal of learner difficulties. In addition, uninterrupted and real time connectivity of our centres shall translate to an opportunity for greater interaction with learners and reduce response time in admission and on-time distribution of material and declaration of results.

ICT equipment and infrastructure is leveraged to carry out tracer-studies on learner performance. Special efforts are being made to strengthen the universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s presence in low-literacy regions. We are planning to conduct special drives to enroll marginalised groups in our programmes. My vision for the university is to reach the unreached with due regard to their convenience and means, launch quality courses of social relevance at affordable costs and provide linkages for and in support of the distance education movement in the country. I feel that the best way to achieve these objectives is to work relentlessly in accordance with the instituteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pronounced mandate. Of course, innovations are required in our operations, extensive and judicious use of technology too is a must, but much more important than anything else is consolidation of the strengths of our existing education system. Our Indian education system is already replete with some very good ideas and practices and we as an institute need to bring all of these together.

WHAT CONSTITUTES SEXUAL HARASSMENT?

WHAT IS THE PUNISHMENT FOR SEXUAL HARASSMENT? SECTION 354 OF THE INDIAN PENAL CODE (IPC)

WHAT IS SEXUAL HARASSMENT? SEXUAL GESTURES OR BEHAVIOUR THAT INVOLVE SEXUALLY COLOURED REMARKS If a person approaches a female and makes sexually explicit gestures or passes remarks that have a sexual inclination, then this behaviour constitutes sexual harassment. If someone sings, recites or utters any obscene word, in or near any public place, the person shall be an offender of the law.

PHYSICAL CONTACT AND ADVANCES If a person does any obscene act in a public place or tries to make physical contact, then he is sexually harassing the woman. This includes touching, groping or attempting to make any physical contact with a woman without her consent.

SHOWING PORNOGRAPHY If pornography in any form is shown to a woman without her consent, it amounts to sexual harassment. The pornographic material can be on internet, published or in any other medium.

DEMANDS AND REQUESTS FOR SEXUAL FAVOURS

If a person demands or even simply requests for sexual favours either at the workplace or otherwise, it amounts to sexually harassing of the woman. Any act which outrages the modesty of the woman or infringes on her private space is punishable.

The section reads as: “Whoever assaults or uses criminal force on any woman, intending to outrage or knowing it to be likely that he will thereby outrage her modesty, shall be punished with imprisonment of either description for a term which may extend to two years, or with fine, or with both.” An assault on a woman is punishable under this section.

SECTION 294 OF THE INDIAN PENAL CODE

The section reads as, “Whoever, to the annoyance of others, (a) Does any obscene act in any public place, or (b) Sings, recites or utter any obscene songs, ballad or word, in or near any public place, shall be punished with imprisonment of either description for a term which may extend to three months, or with fine, or with both. *It is an essential requisite that the obscene act or song must cause annoyance. (Also Sections 292 and 293 of IPC deal with the law relating to obscenity).

SECTION 509 OF THE INDIAN PENAL CODE

The section reads as: “Whoever, intending to insult the modesty of any woman, utters any word, makes any sound or gesture, or exhibits any object, intending that such word or sound shall be heard, or that gesture or object shall be seen, by such woman, or intrudes upon the privacy of such woman, shall be punished with simple imprisonment for a term which may extend to one year, or with fine or with both.” The section also deals with eve-teasing and it serves to curb the tendency of anti-social alements to pass lewd and obscene remarks at women in public places. *An insult to the modesty of the woman is an essential ingredient of this offence source: Jayadeep Kaur, advocate

OTHER UNWELCOME PHYSICAL, VERBAL OR NON-VERBAL CONTACT THAT ARE SEXUAL IN NATURE Any gesture that may have a sexual connotation — be it physical, verbal or non verbal — amounts to sexual harassment. HINDUSTAN TIMES

Stay alert, stay safe in Delhi Ensure your security in a big city with this handy guide

1 DON’T LOOK LIKE A VICTIM hen a predator is looking for his next victim, he will assess W every situation to look for the one with the biggest payoff. In other words, he wants the least hassle with the most reward (money, jewellery, your body). Looking confident will be a disadvantage in his book. Women who are unafraid are more likely to have taken self-defence courses and are more likely to put up a fight. Keep your eyes up instead of looking at the ground or continuously looking around you in fear. When you’re confident, you also look like you have somewhere to be — that is, people are expecting you and may immediately come looking for you if you are late. It’s an instant put-off for an attacker.

2 ALWAYS GUARD YOUR DRINK

omen need to be extra cautious when partying out at W night. Don’t have the stranger who just offered to buy the drink hold on to it. Take the drink to the bathroom with

you if need be. Put it on top of the toilet paper holder or the top of the toilet lid. Leaving a drink unattended, even for a few seconds, gives anyone untrustworthy enough time to slip something in it. If you want to hit the dance floor for a while, have a close and trustworthy friend — preferably female — guard your drink. If at all for some reason you do end up leaving your drink unattended, let it go and get another one — it may cost you more, but will save you from life-threatening danger.

3 STAY WITH YOUR PALS

doesn’t mean being attached at the hip, but have Tloudhiscellphones handy (on vibrate mode since it might be too to hear the ringer), if someone decides to separate (ie

go to the bathroom, etc). Communication is key; the group should tell each other where they’ll be, should they decide to separate for a few moments. If one of the group members is a smoker and everyone else isn’t, the smoker should either be told where to meet with everyone inside or make sure everyone knows their location outside and not stray from that spot. If you feel like going out for fresh air or a puff, make sure at least one male member accompanies you out.

4 DRINK RESPONSIBLY t’s alright to get high and have a good time, but you don’t Iators want to pass out drunk and become an easy victim to predwho’re looking for a vulnerable, unconscious woman to rape. No one knows better than you how many drinks you can hold, so don’t overdo it or drink ‘a little more’ on someone else’s insistence, even a friend’s. The only time you can afford to let go, if you must, is when you’re with your spouse, a trustworthy family member or your best friend.

5 WATCH YOUR SURROUNDINGS

he most important way to protect yourself is to be aware Ton your of your surroundings. Don’t wear your mp3 player or chat cellphone when you’re walking from office to the

parking lot. This distracts you from being aware, which gives anyone the perfect opportunity to easily drag you out of sight. Have both your eyes and ears open to suspicious behaviour. By having your keys in one hand (in a fist) and cell phone in the other, you will be ready to take action if necessary. Attach a mace, pepper spray or a whistle to your keys, which will be handy in case someone tries to attack you. Also, it will be easier to make an emergency call with your phone handy.

6 DRIVE OFF QUICKLY

on’t dilly-dally in the parking lot; drive off swiftly and D confidently. While on the road, make sure you don’t make eye-contact with any other driver or stranger and give them way if they’re trying to overtake or act smart. Drive in your lane — zig-zagging on the road attracts unnecessary attention. Tell someone when you start and when you’ll be back so they can check from time to time. Know your roads well and avoid deserted routes even if they are shorter.

7 IF YOU’RE FOLLOWED I

f you’re driving alone and feel like you’re being followed, don’t go straight home. Check your rear view mirror consistently, turn away into another busy road if possible. Go to a public, crowded, well-lit parking lot, like at a mall or restaurant. Park by a police car if you can, or head towards the closest police station (this requires you to do your homework before it’s too late). Call a police helpline immediately; tell them where exactly you are and where you’re headed. Do not switch off the ignition at traffic stops; pass them carefully without stopping if you can. It also pays to install a safety alarm in your car for such emergencies. The sound will scare off the attackers.

8 BE NOISY f you are attacked, don’t “shut up” even if your attacker tells Iwhistle you to do so. Scream, throw things, rustle branches, blow a and do anything else it takes to make as much noise as possible. Also, instead of yelling “help” try “call the police!” as loudly as possible. People who hear that will be less likely to ignore you. Also, they will dial for help immediately instead of investigating what is going on, so the authorities will arrive more quickly. Your screaming will make the predator think twice and possibly abort his attack. Your whole goal, if you are attacked, is to prevent someone from taking you to another place, where it will be easier to harm you.

9 LET YOUR FOLKS KNOW

hen you are out at night, let someone among family or W friends know when you are leaving, where you are leaving and what time you expect to arrive at your destination (or checkpoints for longer journeys) and check in with your trusted person every hour. Agree that at check-ins you will give your exact location and if you miss a check-in, your trusted person will notify the police of your last whereabouts and intended destination in case you are unreachable. Make sure your trusted person has written identification details such as the make, model and year of your car, your license plate number, and a physical description of you including what clothing you have on.

If you are attacked, don’t “shut up” even if your attacker orders you to do so. Your whole goal, if you are attacked, is to prevent someone from taking you to another place, where it will be easier to harm you SAFETY TIP If you are being followed by a stranger, your first move should be to immediately take a sudden turn, cross the street, or go into a nearby shop/mall. If you’re unable to do so, then turn around and scream in your most indignant voice, “What do you want?”. This is likely to embarrass or scare off the attacker.

KNOW YOUR RIGHTS According to a Supreme Court ruling, a woman cannot be arrested after sunset and before sunrise. There are many cases of women being harassed by the police at late hours, but all this can be avoided if you exercise the right of being present in the police station only during daytime. Even if there is a woman constable accompanying the officers, the police can’t arrest a woman at night.

10 SAFETY IN THE CAB

s far as possible, use your office cab and insist on being A accompanied by a security guard in the wake of the recent rape cases. Make sure you’re not the last one to be dropped.

If you must take a private cab, opt for a trusted radio cab service that has GPS installed in its vehicles, and keep an eye on the driver’s behaviour and the route he takes. Sit confidently, keep a sharp object handy and don’t let the driver slow down or stop midway. Take the cab right till the doorstep, and ask him to keep the headlights on and hang on till you enter your house.
