Collge OR Course??

This is the dilemma of every student who wants 2 enter the Delhi University ...What shd i choose???The course of my choice but not so good college or a good college with not ur choice of course

i would go for my choice of course because i think we shd study wat we like afta all those 3 yrs spend at DU will be the deciding point in mah life.....

i totally agree with you nandini..lot of students today are running after the college....but what they fail to realise is that after they pass out, what they have studied is what will matter and not from where they have studied...n the worst part is..evry student realises this... but after the admission ordeal is over....honestly speaking....when i was trying to get thru DU last year....i really wanted my choice of course..but didnt want to compromise on the college either..of course i was saved from the dillemma when i got through my choice of college n course..both!!!

A mix of both maybe......i would think if the college gives me opportunites for extra-curricular activities then i would go for the college, as a degree of DU doesn't make much difference, better would be to make your resume strong with ECA.....

course should be the first priorty. if u keep on running after some college and neglect the course of your choice, you wont be able to cope up. the college will not help u once you have passed out, it is the matter you have studied that matters!!

course is a priority definitely !! y should a person get stuck in a good college but not without a course he/she likes !!! One should try and get a mix of them though... i know that's tough !

I think college doesn't matter.Course with Marks and communication skills matters.

I'm from bombay but its obviously the course that matters more than the college.....what's the point in doing a course which won't matter to you later on?:S

hey i think course matters n not the college as now a day v r represented throu wat v hav done n not frm whre v hav done ................knowledge matters n dat means d course

ahh......
i left MIRANDA HOUSE n came to AGRSEN..... coz i waz getin journalism..............

i guess.... in the long run its wat u r..... n nt frm wer u r.....!!!

yes i agree.....u cud be in the best college but score the worst in ur course and the college will not b able 2 help u in ur career....u cud b in the worst college but if ur stellar in ur course u will get noticed and will score opportunities....

well it might be a differnt case with du...
but if u are considering engineering colleges then prefering the college over course wudnt be a bad option
coz your ultimate aim here is geting placed...and better companies will visit a better college...
plus most of the regular companies today are open for all students regardless of their stream...

hey runjhun.....nice answer....yup 4 me course matters always....

For me course is d 1st priority.....though clg also matterz alot ....but if u r interested in doin accounts n u force urself wid history den ur future dusn't seem so bright baby....!!!!

im stuck up wid a not so gud clg coz f my course but i hav frnds who keep me updatd wid d latest n dun let me feel d need 2 go into a gud n popular clg....

IF WE HAVE TO MAKE A CHOICE BETWEEN COLLEGE AND COURSE..THEN.. HMMMMMMMMMMM I WILL GO WITH COLLEGE...BCOZ THE INSTITUTION MATTERS THE MOST ..IF UR PASSING FROM A GOOD COLLEGE THEN UR ALWAYS IN DEMAND AND GOOD INSTITUTIONS ALWAYS POLISHES THE STUDENTS... WEN U PASS OUT THEN ALONG WITH THE DEGREE U CARRY THE NAME OF THE COLLEGE... THIS MAKES A GREAT IMPRESSION

though iam not in DU,but hav spent few weeks there..i think one should select course not college coz after an year coll can b changed but course cannot b..for changin the course u just hav 2 score above 60%

Well, even the course can be changed after one year...u can be upgraded
to a better course (i.e. the course which u prefer).....okay...coming
to the topic....to me its a mix of both (as has been mentioned by
somebody already)....i'd rather put forward my point with an example:
say if one is getting Mechanical or Electronics in an IIT...while in
DCE one is getting computer science (the subject of his
choice)....should he join IIT then or DCE...there is a huge difference
on the career prospects offered by these two institutes....However, if
one is getting Textiles in IIT and a better course in some other
college....one should go for the "course" then because the prospects of
textiles are not so good.... therefore I think that both the college
and the course matter....u just have to be vigilant enough about the
prospects and what ur interests are....and ya...a little compromise on
both sides (college n course) can do the trick!

i ws lucky 2 get both.. but honestly.. the course has far reaching implications and is more important anyday

ya...of course...I never said that only the college is
important...course obviously is verry important...if ones course isn't
compatible with ones aptitude then the resultant can be a complete
failure!...however, as in the example i mentioned above...sometimes
situations arive where u should prefer college on course!
